The old line seems more relevant than ever today: There will be 2 types of people in the world. 1. People who control the bots 2. Everyone else

As a google advertiser for the last 7 years I imagine ads are the toughest part of the puzzle for G. Displacing organic results for AI-driven answers? No problem! Easy. BUT….what about the advertisers!?!? They sure don’t want SEM to be dead too! How do we marry AI answers + ads? I believe...

Thanks for the reply! I think you’re honing in on what I’m looking for. I have experience with wordpress in the past so am familiar with it. I have come across an issue with shopify in particular: horrible, systemic speed issues. I’ve even had devs hired to specifically work on site speed and...

I want to build a directory-styled site, and I'd like it to be FAST! I am a marketer, not a coder. I've read the posts on this site years ago about how most themes you use that are drag/drop are just horrible for speed. What approach should I take if I need: 1. A CMS that can house all my...

I feel the future of high-rev affiliate marketing is boiling down to 2 main skills: 1. Get good at leaking on platforms. 2. Get good at short form video content. Follow the traffic. The traffic isn't flowing to niche Google operators much anymore. Good content doesn't matter cuz the consumer...

I've been in ecommerce (focusing on paid media, not seo) for quite a few years, but I want to start a business around a passion project of mine and it happens to be once that is pretty big with search. People looking for local information on the topic. I wanted to know your guys' thoughts around...

Anybody seeing the big buzz about this stuff lately? I've been doing a lot of research around that space the past few weeks/months and these are my findings: 1. This space is blowing up. Tons of large media buying companies have been quietly built over the years, and it's actually coming to...

I'm in the process of doing this now with my ecomm store haha! PMAX has been such a load of rubbish. Annoyed I was delusional enough to allow to "let the machines handle it" when I've seen that end in blood nearly always. We'll see how it goes! One addition that I think can be an enhancement...

Yea I always thought auction-pricing was ripe for some "home baking" on Google's part. Lots of stuff that doesn't make sense over the years. "I'm paying $X for these clicks with no competitors....hmmmm...if I'm the only buyer in the auction should my bid be .01c?" Not to mention once you turn on...

Just because this thread peaked my interest, I did this: 1. Googled a very hot keyword where big affiliates play 2. Looked for local news sites that don't belong but rank like 1/2/3 3. Reached out to them to get an article myself 4. Talked to someone on the phone. 5. They told me they only do...

I'm spending less on influencers in 2023. I think the wave of paying for promotions with influencers hasn't turned out like many had hoped. They charge too much, are too disingenuine, its too difficult to reach them and work a deal, and too many accounts are built on doing stupid shit like...

I’ve been a bear on US markets for many years and I’m still shocked how long the US has been able to kick the can down the road. Not to mention how the US consumer feels so pinched and broke but the stocks soar. Bravo to someone I guess.

I'm not sure if everyone is comparing these tools to the google keyword tool. Multiple google ad reps of mine have told me that the google keyword search tool is old as balls and not to be trusted. :wonder:

My wife uses TikTok daily for just about everything. I think we’re at a point in time with a very interesting change in messaging medium. This medium evolves over time to the most convenient, trustworthy delivery of information. Google innovated huge the past few decades in the search field...

Pet probiotics seems to be a strong offer here that’ll net you good commissions vs the usual Amazon 3% BS. Also pet deodorizers/carpet cleaners are a strong offer w good commissions.

I’m interested in this topic too, but from a standpoint of business creation rather than raw investing. Clarifying question: are you most interested in starting a recession-oriented biz or are you looking to invest into other assets that do well during recessions?

@CCarter I believe is correct with all these matters. Not that it matters much, but I went to school for economics and am an ecomm business owner now, so I see a few sides to it all. I think it's hard to ignore that something WILL come. What always irks me though is that many FUD spreaders have...

To mitigate risk, I got a job in internet marketing to basically learn the ropes on someone else's dime. The whole time fully knowing I'd branch out on my own after a while. Could I have gone full throttle into IM on my own initially? Maybe and I probably would've been richer by now. But my way...

Sounds like algorithmic penalty - bot reviewers didn’t like your setup. Link tracking software can often times be the issue. They don’t like those. Try to do direct if you can especially on new accounts.

Funny story here. My wife has leased a Lamborghini Urus - she’s 10 months into the lease. She leases cuz no matter the car it’s boring after 2 years. Cars are her vice. Dealer just called saying they’ll buy her outta the lease + pay her $50k on top of it. They say chip shortages are even...
