@dannyhw did you ever follow through with this? If so, I'd love you forever if you posted or messaged me the github link.
@ryandiscord are you still using the code you wrote? Hows it working out?
Pico, Phile, Grav, and others are flat file CMS. (A lot faster than Wordpress [even BuSoL] because there aren't any database queries.) Without going into the technical stuff, the difference between using Pico/Phile and normal HTML is that Pico/Phile takes care of templating/caching/plugin...
In the future, I'm thinking about reaching out to some sites and offering to add them to a page in exchange for a link-back / guest post / something. In lots of scenarios, the more you try to validate and self-talk the more you diminish your authority.
However, if you're reaching out to a...
This is what I would do until you think of something better. There are three or four personal themes already ported to Pico. If you've ever wanted a reason to try it out, no-risk, now could be a great time.
I've been thinking about this thread. For starting a brand new site, seems like it could be a smart idea to buy a ~1 yr old site with ~25+ pages of indexed content that is niche relevant, then 301 it to your new name and start building. Think it would work?
I'm thinking there isn't any reason...
I know that doing this is becoming increasingly popular in certain niches and some people have reported that sites doing it rank higher. Its probably a correlation between good sites also being sites that update their content. But, is there a schema tag or some other 'correct' way to signal to...
If you're a new account with 5 posts that has been intelligently helping others, I wouldn't make a "I want to give back to the community." That looks weird to me, plus it makes it look like the forum has been giving you lots of info when I'd rather be the one giving the forum info. If you show...

Might help if you say what type of outreach you were doing. Broken link? Relevant content? Spamming plz link me?
Were you offering anything of value to the sites?
If its a tough vertical to get links in, might be worth paying?
@Jared I'm thinking about growing a FB group, don't have time to dedicate to it yet. Pages and groups are best used together (at least, if you don't own the group) -- its easier to share page posts (of links) within groups than to regularly drop links. Even if you have no intent of growing your...
Woah, I'd never heard of Genius until now. Pretty slick.
It looks like Genius was designed primarily with iTunes and Amazon in mind. Why would it be against the TOS? You're allowed to use pretty links and redirects with Amazon as long as you clearly state where the link is going.
