    The "No Dev Question is Stupid" Thread - Basic HTML / CSS / Etc.

    I'm very happy with it, I've been using it for years doing reporting. I use it to collect unsampled data from Analytics (weekly increments). I primarily use the Google Analytics, Google Ads, Bing Ads, and Database connectors. I use the MySQL connector to combine internal data with traffic data...

    The "No Dev Question is Stupid" Thread - Basic HTML / CSS / Etc.

    You could use the JDBC google apps scripts to do it. Try something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42208721/how-to-connect-google-sheets-to-database I use Supermetrics which I believe uses the same connection. But it's very straightforward, plug in in the database connection, put...

    Using internal URL parameters to properly track info content conversions

    Very cool, I wasn't aware of the offline conversion tracking. It would also be cool to pass your traffic and campaign details over too. I did something sort of like this with amazon affiliate links a while back. The script might be similar to what you're doing already.

    Using internal URL parameters to properly track info content conversions

    To be honest, I'm not sure I follow what your question is but I am curious as to what you're doing here. Are you passing a parameter containing an identifier of your landing page into the affiliate link? for example a user's path starting at your info page, then visits a product page, then an...

    SEM - Thousands of Keywords - How To Optimize Cheaply?

    You can reverse this logic a little bit and find phrases with the wrong intent and use them as negatives. For example if I'm selling a new product, I would exclude "used", "rent", "rental" and "free".

    SEM - Thousands of Keywords - How To Optimize Cheaply?

    To be honest, that probably wouldn't matter. Google is really good at matching shopping ads with buying intent searches. Pull your search terms report, I bet they're mostly buying intent anyway. That and you can't really keyword target a shopping campaign. They show based on the data in your...

    SEM - Thousands of Keywords - How To Optimize Cheaply?

    You may want to restructure. I'd start by looking at what keywords and search terms converted and create related ad groups based on those. Pause everything else. You can slowly reintroduce the other keywords as you test. If you aren't already, consider using modified broad match for data...

    User Expectation Versus Controlling the Flow of Page Rank

    Thinking this through a bit more, I agree. And to be fair, I remembered most of my sites don't have "Home" links, my old school web design brain kicked in on the previous reply.

    User Expectation Versus Controlling the Flow of Page Rank

    Why wouldn't you? It's a navigation element. If the logo already has a link to the homepage you aren't sending anymore authority to it from an additional link but there really is no reason not to if it improves user experience.

    Get unlimited, free traffic from Twitter with this 1 trick, 99% auto pilot

    Haha fair enough, I'm just trying to wrap my head around how I could use this. I think it would likely perform best without the subreddit link/credit but would have to consider the impact on your brand. This could be a cool way to build a pinterest following while still crediting the original...

    "Frontend" to interact with databases for analytics

    Power BI seems solid. I've only played around in it but, It creates charts and visualizations similar to excel and it's fairly easy to use especially if your database is well designed. The desktop version is only as powerful as your PC, so there could be some limitations there if you're doing...

    Need someone to fix a Wordpress Slug/URL issue

    I'm guessing you want to still use your current code that uses the html extension but you want it to show as the directory like: "/some-folder-name/" You can do that using mod_rewrite assuming your on apache. You may need to activate the module. For example the following .htaccess line will...

    If a term has rarity, how is it deemed relevant to the topic? How do you find terms to include that would fit that description?

    TF * IDF is a formula used to measure the frequency of terms used in a set of documents. Documents referring to each listing in a search result. The formula is designed to put weight on words used infrequently within a document but across many documents. The idea being it will create a list of...

    Alternative to Grammarly for Checking Content Quality

    Are you having the writer use grammarly? Maybe there is a grade threshold you can give them. For example, an 80% is acceptable. That way the instances where grammarly suggests something incorrect or strange sounding, they can ignore it. I think option 2 is your best bet though.
