    Is affiliate marketing too risky as your main income?

    Isn't entrepreneurship supposed to be risky? That's the game, we hold the big risk and reap the big rewards. Anything can tank in life. Google's algorithm can kill your white hat sites. Your black hat sites will get penalized or deranked. Local SEO will change and the easy money will dry up...

    Should I redirect minified javascript that shows as 404?

    WP Rocket is server side caching. Your CDN most likely isn't serving your web pages themselves, just the assets on them. I'd keep your caching. I'd turn off the minification though. The CDN is missing scooping up that minification file, and if it's serving a 404 then it doesn't need to be there...

    I just don't know anymore...

    What is it that you're trying to figure out? How specific can you make that answer? If you can't answer it to a T, then that's a core problem. You have to know where you're going before you can get there.

    Sitting #5 - #10 for most of my terms - boost overall authority

    I'd guess you nailed it. If you're on page 1 for your terms, you probably already have the relevance needed and the others are beating you based on pure authority (link signals and page rank). I don't know that adding more relevance through anchor texts to your homepage would help. The links...

    Automate Wordpress Creation

    It sounds like you're wanting to highly bot this, in which case I'd just use cPanel and bot Softaculous or whatever it's called it do the install, then bot an upload and activation of something like Backup Buddy. From there you can import a base install of all the themes and plugins you want to...

    Any recommendations on what to watch on Netflix?

    I watched the first two episodes of the new Black Summer show on Netfilx. It's pretty damn intense. They'll have some real quiet moments of people talking and moving about, and then get extremely high energy and have you on the edge of your seat. Pretty solid (plus it has zombies).

    PBN links penalty recovery

    I've done it. You can get penalties removed and come back just fine. What doesn't work, in case you're thinking about it, is taking the site and moving it to a new domain just as it is, without a 301 redirect. Google knows it's the exact same site and will pass the penalty on to the new one.

    Pages randomly getting deindexed

    What's killing me about this is that Search Console's coverage report hasn't updated in 16 days now and counting. I guess they paused it until they have this sorted out and are probably trying to fix the messed up data too.

    Lazy Loading Support Coming at the Browser Level

    I can't find it again but I saw that people are already tracking a ticket for Wordpress to get them to start working on adding this as a default feature in a way that can fail gracefully as turbin3 said. If Wordpress picks this up earlier in the adoption cycle that will put the heat on all...

    Rent Billboards Online (Self-Serve)

    I was driving around and looking at billboards while traveling for Easter. I bet it won't be long before digital billboards have cameras that can count the number of cars that go by so buyers can at least start knowing about impressions. They can do like YouTube sponsors do and try to send...

    Chitika to Shut Down for Good After 15 Years in Business

    Was Chitika the one that was like "The online mini mall" or something? I remember their banner ads I think that were a lot like Amazon's native ads that display a number of products in them. I always had a hard time believing they made any huge amount of cash. Like that other network that...

    Newbie Question(s) so dumb, you're afraid to even ask!

    Probably the easiest is Scrapebox. You won't even need proxies if you randomize the scrape time and set it to a single thread with slow search times. Enter keywords and let it go in the background. When it's done, you can de-dupe the list and check metrics, then filter by the metric ranges you...

    Getting a domain unbanned from Reddit?

    From what I've seen there's two types of bans. Sitewide administrator bans and subreddit moderator bans. The 2nd one you might get unbanned by talking to the mods. Admin ban, you can forget about it. One thing you might try is to register a similar domain like the .net and then 301 redirect it...

    Google+ Shutting Down, Covered Up Security Bug Exposing All Public & Non-Public Profiles

    Welp, I removed Google+ from my set of social media profiles on my sites and removed the share button too. This was either another Google blunder or another way they managed to mine a bunch of data. It's hard to think they suck this bad. But they keep doing it. "Hey, let's build another copy...

    Wordpress 5.0 & Gutenberg is here + Classic Editor Plugin already doomed...

    Does anybody know if the Classic Block is going to go away when the Classic Editor does? The Classic Block is the classic editor in block form, and your posts are dumped into those when you first enable the Block Editor. You can see that the temptation would be to leave all of your old posts...

    Google Maps Frustration - Can this be done? If not, what's an alternative?

    This seems like a problem with Google Maps itself, where they have the priorities of the locations inversed depending on which view you're looking at. The lowest priority "ranks" the highest in the text list but ranks lowest on the map's z-index. I'd raise the issue on Google's support...

    Marshall Islands to Issue Physical Banknotes for World’s First Decentralized National Digital Currency

    So they'll have regular physical bills... which is a fiat currency. Then they'll have to balance the value of this "digital" currency which should be price regulated by some type of power and time required to mine it... but it's fiat so they can still flood the market with more physical bills or...
