    How do Giant Web Sites Using Static Site Generators Update Frequently Throughout the Day?

    Sorry about that earlier. And thanks @Steve Brownlie for clearing that up. Obligatory Explanation I should explain myself a little. WordPress is a smart and dynamic. Every time a user enters a WP website, it compiles and processes what needs to be shown to that user. You can imagine if a ton...

    How do Giant Web Sites Using Static Site Generators Update Frequently Throughout the Day?

    How do SSG devs or publishers like The Verge (who uses Middleman) routinely update their site over the course of the day? Do they cleanse and upload en-masse or in small batches each time?

    Does This Break the Amazon Affiliate ToS? Cloaking Links & Downloading Images Without the API

    Thanks @Ryuzaki for the incredible and extensive insight. Do you credit OCD to much of your success? It seems like given the most correct implementation of Amazon's policies, redirecting (or cloaking) links only benefit easy link switching and as a defense against scrapers. Let's face it. If...

    News articles on demand

    This is interesting although I was under the impression that timeliness would also mean a presence of autonomy. News doesn't wait for you and "on-demand" is another series of steps that delay output. How I would do it. I would contain it to a corner of the website, or even as a subdomain that...

    Hardest Part of Online Marketing

    The problem is that I see all of @CCarter 's points as connected. They all impact the decision of how the other point is executed. Finding the middle ground between all of these is what gets me high.

    Submitting an Order with Limited Connectivity

    Split up the order into many smaller forms, in a 1 to (say) 10 step order process. Each step is a mini form that has to be submitted before getting to the next step. 10 mini forms (or steps) = 1 order.

    Viglink Auto Affiliate Code

    Will reach out to them. Thanks. In any case I might just remove the whole viglink code and use just this to reduce the number of requests being made. I'm not too convinced by the viglink insert to be honest. Heads up, this is what the code is based on: Viglink Anywhere

    Viglink Auto Affiliate Code

    What's the point of having 32,000 merchants under one account when you still have to manually create new affiliate links? The JS they provided doesn't seem to create affiliate links out of unaffiliated links to products in desktop mode, but seem to do so for mobile devices- which is weird and...

    @gasmonkeygarage @RiverStyx A woman can be ruthless in the IM world. Of fuckin course. And on the context of stereotyping, any ruthless woman can outclass a man at any given day. They're built for this more than you realize/would admit.

    Changes Coming To Amazon Affiliate Commission Rates

    Has anyone noticed that the charts laid out are very consistent with the level consolidation of the respective industries? Amazon branded products aside as they are a biased anomaly, items at 4% and below have seriously few to the palm of my hand variation between brands whereas nidustries with...

    Boosting New Blog Posts As Soon As They Are Published

    @mmm91492 I didn't explore because the tool does exactly what I needed, but I recall they had a lot more fields that you could choose from. If you are doing something similar to me, just use a dedicated RSS and throw whatever you want to the common fields for social posting. Keep the regular...

    1 site or 50 (the question is now)

    I've come to realize that these type of questions are becoming irrelevant to me. A niche is such a general term but we use it as though it's one object when in fact it isn't. A niche is broad and vague. Every one here uses a view and an angle to approach the niche that may not subscribe to all...
