The approach best suited for one person may not be best suited for another person. Here is my suggestion:
Do not use third party frameworks or libraries. "Code the web app" yourself. If you can't find answers to questions, search online.
By the time you are done, or by the time you give up...

Your list isn't large enough to track brand awareness and the like. Especially since your revenue is from display ads. Get it to a size where it will matter.
Have a template where you can plug in your site's best articles from the past two weeks. Don't go overboard - set it and forget it. That...
ElI5 answer: Only terms relevant to the topic are considered.
If you want to do this yourself:
Look at the top 20 pages (because you are not Google, to have the whole corpus!) in SERPs. Read the content on all those pages.Find out terms common to most of them. Make sure you have covered all...
My qualification
I spent many, many hours on tf-idf and related algorithms, which resulted in practical outputs - don't want to divulge more than that on a public forum.
ELI5: tf-idf
In layman's terms:
It determines how relevant and rare your page content is, compared to other pages. No...
Attacking the leader publicly is a common strategy. Most companies keep their real tactics private. So I guess we will just wait and see.
P.S.: Bing and DuckDuckGo are profitable.
What idea did they steal? (Serious question)
There's an interesting thread on HN about Dropbox. It is interesting to see what people thought the founders should be doing. There's plenty more of that all over the internet.
I have learned over the years that judging the success or failure an idea, based on how it looks to me when it...
Anything which makes money with minimum risk. I am always open to partnerships so hit me up whenever you (or anyone else reading this!) are ready.
Couple of anecdotes:
I have successfully concluded low-mid five figure deals with a "foreigner" (on another forum) whom I have never seen or spoken...
Can you ask for (1) sar output at the time of the event and (2) OOM logs?
If it is feasible, move the site to a different server and see if the problem still persists. Virtualization has brought with it a whole host of weird behaviors by VMs - sometimes as a result of incorrect configurations...
Those two data points (services killed for excessive memory, using only half the available memory) obviously occurred at different timelines. So no point in analyzing further.
Ask support for memstat output at the time your services are being killed. Not when everything is running well.
That's what it must be (scraping + cloaking), based on the information shared by you.
If you want, you can access your site using a Canadian IP (using something like TeleportYou or TunnelBear or paid proxy service or whatever you want to) and verify. If it looks different and you didn't do...
>What should I use to check for it?
Easiest way: User-Agent switcher extension is available for Chrome and Firefox. Set to Google's, and visit again.
What do you see?
Usually, that's a permissions issue - create "tmp" & "temp" (edit: I don't remember which one, so do both) folders under your user home and WP home with 777 and try again with sudo/ as root.
Edit 1: Make sure to change the permissions back later.
Edit 2: It has been a while so I checked the...
