    Bit of advice

    First and foremost would be to advertise on Singapore sites and on social media targeting those users. Are you wanting to rank in Google for Singapore? I don't know what version of Google they use, but I know it helps to be hosted there and to get links from Singapore sites. It will also help...

    MFA (Made For Advertising) - still a thing?

    MFA sites are ranking all over the place, but the new monetization method is Amazon. Amazon review sites are everywhere now. The best alternative to Adsense if you want cost per click revenue is Media.net, which also has cost per view ads as does Adsense, although more heavily. There are a lot...

    Platform Choice - Content Management Systems

    You can only really mitigate problems by running away from them. Every CMS is going to have security problems, which are patched nearly instantaneously. It's almost always the fault of plugins, anyways. Choosing the right ones and keeping them updated helps, but you never know when one will be...

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

    As long as you're following the law and the FTC guidelines, I don't see why it would matter. It's only when you break the law that there's a problem, like misleading and inaccurate statements, generating tons of fake reviews by fake accounts (mainly on other company's platforms), etc. Even then...

    Google Officially Announces the Rollout of Mobile-First Indexing

    Rather than make a new thread about it, I wanted to point out that Google has also rolled out a SERP change for the mobile index where there's no more pages, like ranking on page 1 versus page 2. There's a "Load More" style button that uses AJAX i guess to load more results onto the same page...

    Broken Link Building

    I read the newest Newsstand post earlier, where a guy wrote about broken link building. He basically said to go to big sites and look at their "best posts by backlinks" on Ahrefs and then filter down only to ones with 404 errors. When you find ones with tons of links, recreate the content on...

    FB Ads Question

    I have a similar question. Is it possible to target the fans of an existing page you don't own? I know you can't directly target them but can you somehow scrape all the emails and create a custom audience or something?

    How to host multiple Wordpress Blogs on one AWS account with different IPs?

    I asked Knownhost about this once. They said they aren't allowed to give out extra IPs any more, even if you'll pay for them, unless it's for SSL purposes. I didn't even know what they meant by that, but they said it was ICANN that laid these new rules, or some other similar international company.

    Which URL for GMB listing? Main or local?

    I'd link to the page. You're optimizing for the hometown, and there's a page specifically for it which probably has all of the name, address, and phone information on it. That's better for the users, which will be picked up by Google in terms of click through rating and dwell time. And it's...

    @Darth, how did it go? Seeing anything positive?

    Is your online business successful?

    I'm making money right now regardless if I have time to work on my sites or not. I had the nuts and drive to plant these seeds and keep watering them, and now they're flowering. Meanwhile everyone around me is crying about money, but also didn't have any interest in what I was talking about...

    How long to show on SERPS?

    @gelsi, is there a good amount of text on the page? If not, i can imagine getting indexed but not ranking. The EMD is going to be one of tons of ranking signals. You need headers and paragraphs for basic on-page SEO signals too.

    Using AAWP

    I wonder about this too. People are going to become ad blind to this plugin over time in general, but I think if you get interested people on the right page it will still help close a sale or get a click more than not having it. But putting the "fancy" parts into non-sales posts will probably...

    Why is everybody so hungup on .com domains

    If all you're trying to do is get SEO traffic, then yeah, who cares. If you're building a business I'd recommend the .com every time, thinking back to my days as a regular internet user not into marketing. We trust it more because you see so many lower quality sites NOT on .com. And you...

    How Reliable is the Let's Encrypt SSL Certification?

    I have another +1 for Let's Encrypt. With the cron job or cpanel plugin, it's 100% reliable and hands free. As far as the actual security of it, I don't know. I didn't stress test it and wouldn't know how. But it gets me on HTTPS and gets the lock in the browser with little effort (and free).

    Using Aged Domains For Money Sites

    Why not do both? Create a new site and also recreate (or write new articles and make it on the exact same topic) the pages that have links and 301 the old URLs to the new ones. Whenever you have a "this or that" kind of question, the best answer is usually "both" or "somewhere in the middle"

    Signing Up For Content Writing Services As A Writer From Outside USA?

    Upwork might be a good option too. Translation services might be something you can offer too.

    Multiple Links from same Sources

    There are 100,000+ sites at least, if not millions, that all link to the same set of sites. None of the link givers or link receivers are penalized. It's a really natural thing to occur. Get all the links you can from sites that aren't selling links and have tons of other outbound links.

    The Bragging Thread - Inspire A Newbie

    I had a pretty good Amazon day yesterday. I'm doing better than I've ever done recently and I hope it sticks. That's around $120-$150 of commission, which would be my record if it would all ship out at once. This is a much better way to spend free time in college than getting drunk and playing...

    So I bought a new office desk. (Post pics of yours or one you want)

    Mine's like this: Never get a particle board piece of crap. Not only is there not enough space under and between the sides of the desk, but the entire thing starts to wobble after enough time. I guess they aren't supposed to be permanent fixtures like a high quality desk. Good for a few...
