    Anyone dealt with DomainAgents

    Yes, someone reached out to me earlier this year via Domain Agents and I sold them a domain. They are basically just a broker that the buyer can stay anonymous while negotiating. After a little back-and-forth we both decided on a price and the transaction was done via Escrow.com Here is what...

    Is it possible to automate content production? (Without hiring writers)

    If you are truly adding compelling content that people will want to read and share then sure. But the post implies too many buzz words like "automate", "scrape", etc.... I think this quote sums up a great answer from one of the best in the biz.

    My Media.net Account manager is taking me to dinner on Thursday, what questions should I ask?

    Ask them what they think of Media.net getting acquired last month by the Chinese tech co. and what if any significant changes they anticipate coming to the platform and how it's operated.

    Throttling of Keyword Planner For Low Level Accounts By Google Confirmed

    If your account got hit with the limit the Google Keyword Forecasting tool is still an option. When I run PPC campaigns it's actually what I look at. I agree the micro-spammers are going to hate it and I welcome the changes :D

    That post was too compelling not to be interested ;)

    They weren't lying.

    Sorry if I missed it but how many pages of content are we talking about? Less than a few hundred? If so, take Ryuzaki's advice and just export the content with a brand new install of Wordpress. Sign-up with a competent host like Knownhost or Liquid web. It's far easier starting over with a...

    Finding the average volume of a product sold per year?

    I've tested Jungle Scout on a business that is doing $30M+ a year selling products across a broad range of categories on Amazon with many SKUs... this is sales data I actually have access to in the Amazon seller account. When I compare it to the Jungle Scout's "sales estimates" they are so...

    Throttling of Keyword Planner For Low Level Accounts By Google Confirmed

    I'm not noticing any changes either (although my Adwords account is quite aged at 12 yrs old) I plugged in the term "seo" as per the screenshot above just to if there was any variance in metrics. Here is what I see with U.S. and English checked. Interesting differences...

    Verizon buying Yahoo for $5 billion

    This is Big Red you are talking about. VZ's market cap is $230 BILLION. Paying $4.8B is only 2% of their own value. Not exactly betting the farm on it. Now when Steve Ballmer made a $45B bid for Yahoo back in 2008, that would have been a much bigger risk to Microsoft (and tragedy / massive...

    Checking a Domain's History

    As far as metrics, you can purchase expired or closeout domains all day long that are 10+yrs old with much better authority than that.

    Examiner.com Closed July 10th

    Not everything, lol If you enter http://examiner.com (without www) you'll get "503 Service Unavailable - No server is available to handle this request." Sounds like it's one giant FUBAR going on over there...this email was sent to contributers 4 days after they announced they would be closing...

    [Hypothetical] You have 50k liquid and you're investing it online. What do you do?

    If you already have an authority site I'd spend it on expert writers and epic articles based around commercial intent, long-tailed keyword phrases with low competition. And someone to do outreach and guest posting. Otherwise, I'd spend the $50k on purchasing an aged, established site. Spend...

    Interview with the founder of Wirecutter

    I've always been intrigued with The Wirecutter as they really took the Consumer Reports model and tweaked it into the ultimate affiliate cash cow. Bloomberg also did a recent interview with Brian that is worth a read...

    Can we discuss PBN links?

    ^ This! The cost of renewing domains, hosting, managing content, etc... I found it to be a pain in the ass. It's actually easier and less expensive in the long game to get 200 high value links via outreach and be done with it. Plus, you'll get the added benefit of real visitors clicking...

    Godaddy has the $1/mo hosting for a year + domain for $12 right now. Can't really get any cheaper than that with a large reputable company. https://www.godaddy.com/promos/hot-deals

    Who Pays Writers? - Database of Prices, Payment Periods, Requirements, Etc.

    Interesting list and quite a range of pricing. Forbes paid $6k for a 3,000 word investigative reporting piece. Would be curious to see that article.
