    Adwords ( and other PPC ) Master Thread

    Interesting point. The budget is still daily though so wouldn't that just become overspend? Maybe they account for a campaign historically being under its daily budget to determine how much they could go over in a day? Seems like a bit of guesswork that they're willing to credit you for if they...

    Adwords ( and other PPC ) Master Thread

    Monthly shouldn't be an issue. Unless maybe your high traffic day is at the end of a month. Even if you do overspend: I have had it happen but it's rare. Maybe it will happen more often now.

    Good God... 49" Super Ultra Widescreen Monitor

    I have two 24" monitors. I enjoy having two because I like being able to snap programs to the full width of each display. Is there a way to simulate that with one long display?

    2nd Tier Online Advertising

    I want to make sure I'm not leaving any opportunity on the table as I build out my paid strategy. Having worked for a 2nd tier search engine years ago in as a web designer I had always been curious if that was something that should be included in my PPC strategy. I know click fraud was always a...

    2nd Tier Online Advertising

    I'm looking for recommendations for 2nd tier advertising options. Years ago there was 7search, Lycos, Looksmart, FinditQuick and Ask. Are any of these still relevant? Did these ever really work? I'm also looking at Criteo and Adroll for retargeting. I'm looking to drive traffic to an ecommerce...

    Do you really need related posts under the article?

    Doesn't make a difference whether you have related posts on the side or bottom. That's preference. Showing related posts keeps readers on your site. It also helps Google understand the context of your articles. Search engines likely understand the difference between body content and template...

    Spammy Traffic Followed by Drop in Google Traffic

    I'm not sure what to make of this but, I've got a client site that in 2015, Google Analytics shows traffic from google, direct and referral to a nonexistent directory on their site with various porn related urls. The referral traffic is from sites that have the google custom search feature. I...

    How much would you pay for this domain

    Could you do anything with it that would justify that?

    Linking to Internal Pages Blocked by Robots.txt, Nofollow?

    Pick robots.txt or noindex, combining the two won't work well. Google will see the robots.txt, not crawl the page and never see the noindex directive. Pages blocked by robots.txt will still show in the index. Pages not blocked by robots.txt that have noindex won't be indexed but will still be...

    I have a very specific extraction setting in screaming frog that I want scheduled to run weekly. I want it to crawl the site and save a a csv, preferably with the date in it. Would a desktop macro program like http://www.winautomation.com/ work for this? I know python is probably a good...

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

    This looks awesome. What are some of your intended uses for this, automating rank tracking, keyword research? Could something like this be modified to track Amazon prices and buybox ownership?

    Local SEO - Locations Where Products Are Sold

    I'm working with a client that wants to display a map of all the stores that carry their product, they also want to show their main local location. I originally had planned to build this out using ACF until I came across the Yoast Local SEO plugin. My concern with the Yoast plugin is that it...

    Be an Affiliate - Feel a Fraud?

    It shouldn't matter if you got traffic from Google vs a niche forum or community. If the content is helpful or entertaining there's no reason to "feel a fraud" if you've actively promoted it. That's marketing. It's so important to diversify traffic, even established brands that play by the...

    AdSense Policy Update: No Pop-Unders, PERIOD.

    It's fine as long as it's not opening in a new browser window. Usually exit intent modals "pop up" over your own content, in the existing tab.

    Create an Automatically Updating Table

    Probably took the initial time to compile the list of sites, then automatically pull the stats for each site to update their rank.

    Backlinks from older existing blog posts = good?

    I'm not sure how Google sees it but, it doesn't seem much different than someone snagging your image and months later you asking them to credit your site. Unless the site sells many of these links and creates an unusual pattern of it happening.
