3MB's is nothing these days. People stream GB's off of Netflix and Youtube all day long. GB's off of Spotify. Imgur probably loads TB's daily. It's not something I'd be concerned about. It's also the price you pay for creating a large image with marketing appeal. Have you compressed the...

The problem with this is that you can throw up a Wordpress site with nothing on it, let the Ping aggregators pick it up, then the Website Value and Alexa Scrapers all pick it up and link to it. Wait 2 months and you're magically already DA15 or so on Moz. Their metrics are complete garbage on...

I didn't even think about keeping Penguinized sites around for Bing. I let a lot of sites expire or rage deleted their databases when they were slapped in bulk. Could have just fired even more spam at them and let Bing eat it up. Waaay too late for that. But then again, I can't imagine...

This tech has a long way to go. That's nowhere near real-time. It has to listen and translate and spit it back out. The real advancement will be when it can understand the context of the conversation, the syntax of all languages, and in effect have a "look-forward" algorithm that shortens the...

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. If the negative aspects of humanity weren't involved, then we could talk about true free market capitalism. But you'll never have that. Some innovator could create something that could destroy Google. Accept Google would purchase it, run campaigns against...

If you're paying attention you'll have seen reports such as: China spending fortunes to publish propaganda to social media Facebook suppressing conservative stories, Donald Trump news, and falsely reporting "Trending" stories Twitter suppressing conservative stories, shadow banning accounts...

Header bidding, CPM stacks with 10+ advertisers in them, 5000+ HTTP requests per page load, and then to add insult to injury people paginate content. There's so many better ways to monetize your content without running off your users. No wonder Ad-Blocking is such a huge thing. This is one...

There's lots of information out there about industry average CPMs. Whether it's accurate or not is another question but all you can do is jump in at the "average" and start building your own supply and demand curve. Here's something I found with a quick google search...

All you've done by speaking to him is paint a target on your back. You're not going to turn cutthroat into a teddy bear nor stop him from being a turncoat. A snake is a snake and will always behave that way. You know what he is going into this. Don't be surprised if it gets worse. This is a...

I'm a skeptical person. When Google started pushing out it's Accelerated Mobile Pages project, I thought to myself... why? We've already made mobile versions of our sites, then we made adaptive versions, then completely fluid responsive versions. I'm not interested in remarking up my HTML...

^ Yeah. Stay honest. Grant Cardone talks about this. He says his definition of success includes honesty. If you made 500 million through being a scum bag, you aren't successful. You're a chump with a lot of money. This part about having a unique angle to a site is important. Last year...

Coming back from the Keyword Research day about AIDA... Would you recommend creating a Customer Profile for each stage of the AIDA funnel? Obviously the top portions aren't extremely valuable, but you could educate and push a percentage all the way through the funnel. This could be in one go...

What I would do is head over to domainer forums and find guys trying to liquidate their portfolio, and I'd cherry-pick the ones I thought had resale value and I'd negotiate very hard to get the best deals possible. I'd even pick up extra ones I didn't want if it meant I could drive the overall...

Sorry to not comment on the rest of your topic just yet, as I'm slightly in a hurry. I do have a question though. Did they use hyperlinked breadcrumbs? You know the type... Level 0 > Level 1 > Level 2 > Current Page I don't necessarily agree with Silo's these days. They are far too hard to...

Like others, I've been hanging on to far too many EMD's, ever since the days of making 100's of those all earning a couple bucks a day. It was a cute idea and a giant waste of money for most people. There's only one guy I know of who scaled that model into like 25¢ a day per site. Kind of...

It's kind of cool to read texts on your phone and then speak back into it with a speech-to-text converter and fire off a text. But you're not always going to be in a place where you can talk. But that is cool, I'll admit. It's not $100-300 cool. Imagine all the idiots in movie theatres now...

^ You have to set off several red flags before you set off the algorithm police. They don't have time to comb through everything. Several wires have to be tripped before attention gets called.

This is the same phenomenon that allows people to fake their way into guruship too, though. I agree with it being a self-judgement and confidence thing, but those can go awry. I think newbie-ship can be transcended in a specific area with a depth of knowledge, or across a whole field with a...

Are you doing any keyword research and using those keywords in your title, description, closed captions, and tags? (hint hint)

Are you the bastard that's spamming my site with about 7,000 comments and emails per day?
