    Disqus changing affiliate links?

    So Disqus wants to change links in your content, but not allow you to change links in "their" content (which is your content that your users generated)... That does sound sketchy. It sounds like one of those setups where they join a million affiliate networks and overlay affiliate links for...

    Do you have a job or went full time on your dream?

    Most of us did the responsible thing and kept our jobs until we were sure our income was as stable as possible and we had enough savings on hand to weather a storm for a good year. Reality doesn't care about your dreams and passions. It's not a magic ticket to success. It will chew you up...

    Roll Call: Who's Grinding Late on a Saturday Night? (Aussies, You Can't Fool Me)

    You guys working 22 hours and sleeping 2 need to focus on the 80/20 activities and outsource more. If money is a limiting factor, you should STILL follow this advice. It's the fastest path to not needing to work 22 hours. Sleeping is going to increase the quality and quantity of your output...

    Earn $50,000 if you can rank for "SEO Hero" in 4 months.

    You have to be a special kind of sucker to waste any time on this scam.

    Looks like Trumps going to win

    Never get stuck in an echo-chamber of lies that distort reality so badly that you begin to project your victimization fantasies on over 50% of the populous. Millenials want to feel like victims and be persecuted because it validates the excuses instead of forcing them to not be pussies. Guess...

    Wickedfire.com hacked?

    Don' forget about when he offered the once in a lifetime chance for anyone to ask him one question and get one answer back, over email, for the low price of only $216. And never responded to any of the emails. I don't expect or recommend anyone who fell for the scam to admit it publicly, but I...

    300 Class Redirects No Longer Lose PageRank

    If this is true, then they must be dinging some other metric, likely one based around relevancy.

    Inc Reporting Paid Links To FTC

    It was only a matter of time, just like with Facebook and Twitter killing parody accounts built to sell sponsored posts. You can't bypass the gate keepers. Instagram is going to drop this bomb at some point too. Best thing you can do is create a persona for your site or be a real person and...

    Pinterest Page or Page On Main Site?

    Is your site powerful enough to rank for the term? Pinterest is. If you can rank your own site, I'd do that for the direct visitors. You'll only get a percentage of them to click through from Pinterest. But you might get a lot of repins and followers out of it you can remarket to over time...

    Facebook Edgerank analysis.

    Summary: The 3 main factors are: User Affinity - Relationship between user and content Weight - Actions taken on the content type Decay - Age of content Each of those are busted up into lots of sub-factors. Language The Facebook post or the page it's linking to should be in the native...

    Ecommerce affiliate site

    You determine the quality of the answers you receive by the quality of your questions. You've just asked an extremely broad question. I'd hack out the cart and the ability to create accounts. Remove the quantities and other options surrounding actual purchasing. Change the Add to Cart...

    Your opinion: Get more traffic or optimize current traffic?

    My question relates to another possible answer... But first, I'd say to get to where you can remove yourself from the editing and posting phase of the content creation. Maybe even find someone to come up with content ideas too. Make sure that while each is primed and written for your target...

    Popping Out a Burner

    There's no sense in building it in a no-index folder and then building links in hopes to rank. Unless you're talking about the lander for the product itself. A subdomain could work. Later on if it goes bad you can delete it and all of the bad links will 404. No need to clean up. This is why...

    Your opinion: Get more traffic or optimize current traffic?

    While I grapple with an answer, let me ask: What percentage of your traffic is from search engines?

    Mandella Effect, WTF?

    I've seen a lot of examples of this but the Berenstein Bears one is the one that made me go "hold up here for a gosh darn minute." There's nothing more entertaining than this stuff, riding the line between fiction and reality. The more far out it is the better.

    Anybody using RevContent, Taboola etc as a publisher here?

    The goal of a viral site should be to suck as many pageviews out of a single user on one article before getting them to bounce. Use pagination to get more views out of CPM ads and then try to get them to bounce through a CPC ad. Those ads are definitely ugly and barely ever relevant. I'd...

    Parsey McParseface + Syntactic Ngrams = Weekend Fun

    Spinners that are just plucking synonyms out of a thesaurus are going to be screwed for the reasons mentioned above. Especially users trying to go for 90% or higher uniqueness. It's gibberish and any human eye can see that without even reading it. And this public tester can accurately tell up...

    Can we discuss PBN links?

    I disagree that there's no computational test that can be run to find a PBN, especially if you have a single leak in data like mentioned above. If you truly have all of that taken care of and have plenty of outbound links pointing to other sites, then sure you could survive. But I'm not...
