    I'd leave it and say what you think they do well but don't be shy about mentioning what you do better. It's similar to brands replying to bad reviews instead of deleting them. It acknowledges that an issue or competitor exists and let's your brand claim where it stands as opposed to hiding or...

    Using YouTube to Promote My Website? (Finance Niche)

    A forum is a viable option, you just need to consider if the time spent maintaining it is worth it for you and how you plan to manage the impact of low quality content potentially residing on your primary or subdomain. You're not going to outrank the big guys on big terms at least not in the...

    Using YouTube to Promote My Website? (Finance Niche)

    Ryuzaki's points are spot on about subdomains. If you do decide to go with the forum, subdomain would be the cleanest route to keep UGC separate from your written content on the primary domain and easier to get rid of if you decide it's no longer worth maintaining. Another thing you could...

    How Does Reddit Detect Previously Banned Users?

    At what point would it actually be easier to just run Reddit Ads and not have to worry about all this shit? It's a pretty straight forward platform, you can pick the subreddit you want to promote in instead of fucking around trying to avoid bans.

    Are these free or do you have to pay for the API?

    What do I do with 100K generic email subscribers?

    This will become a factor when you see your open rates, unsubscribes and spam complaints. If you haven't been sending email, warm up your list by sending to your more recent subscribers, they'll be less likely to mark as spam. If you hit that whole list at once you might hurt your deliverability.

Some of the examples struck me as odd though, in particular guessing income level by the sound of the car or listening for a baby to stop crying before prompting a...
