Yeah, the dynamic shortcodes will mess with you. Also, in case you aren’t, make sure you’re using posts, not pages. 

SSD’s are good. I don’t think Varnish is effective for these kinds of sites, though. I say this because as far as caching goes, it isn’t the same pages being accessed re…[Read more]

Great to see you jumping right into SerpShaker and taking it live on your market. I know there are a few here playing in various international, and European specifically, markets. Some have tried Asian, but I’ve heard of some character issues arising. 

Too bad to hear about your past business, but at least you’ve found so…[Read more]

I could see at least part of that being because most cache’ing to memory is fairly useless since many requests are unique, as are the queries? 

My baby 4 core has been getting womped by google lately, s…[Read more]

Or we could make it more interesting and balance a plate on his head and make him juggle, all the while riding a unicycle and still accomplishing all of the aforementioned tasks. 

Also, send him off to the warm coast for a week o…[Read more]

I do think that creative ways to put the points to use is a great idea. The forum here seems to come and go as far as how often it is used. Although, I do suspect that the chat feature has a lot to do with it – I know that I wind up using it most often. I do love it, I just wish there was a b…[Read more]

It is only more user friendly because there are less options, more preconfigured in a sense. Which, IMO is bad for SEO – again, footprints, low diversity.

I would check out SERlists GSA SER lists.…[Read more]

Shared hosting – Your typical hosting that is around $5/mo. You share resources with others, as a result their issues can effect your site. Your resources are also very limited
VPS – Virtual Private Servers are virtual machines where a certain amount of a…[Read more]

Another concern of mine is pinging G from the same IP. I wonder if it’s better to have a VPN, or if that isn’t any better since they likely know the IP is from a VPN.

Rankings aren’t the concern – traffic is. Build a site, give it a week or two to…[Read more]

Lookup the videos here on using Cloudflare. With CF you can use just one host. 

I’ve found bot traffic lately is a lot less immediate and unpredictable than it used to be. So, I won’t to see how much it’s my fault versus G up to its antics as usual. 

The SS and SerpSpike model is to…[Read more]

Contact support if you haven’t, they’ll have the best idea on how to solve it. 

The formula is Earnings/Pageviews x 1,000.

The thing is, your sample size of 15 pageviews is quite small which means there is huge room for anomalies. 

If you had even just 100 pageviews with say, 25+ clicks, then you’re starting to have at least a little bit more of a fou…[Read more]

Also, when you’re checking out a niche, have you determined a good way of figuring out what the potential CPC will be?

I use it for client sites and have used it with a few super local regional SS sites. 

In total I’m tracking like 900 keywords at the moment. 

But, for shits and giggles I just threw in 29,386 keywo…[Read more]

I tend to think of this as the next iteration of cloaking. I’d much rather be doing this than traditional cloaking.

DA overlays the site, kind of like when you use a site with lightbox. Real cloaking actually displays different things to search…[Read more]

Nope, not a single backlink, and not a single page indexed after a week. 

I’m thinking to lack of caffeine moment may have more to do with something blocking bots. I just can’t…[Read more]

Since the site didn’t index, can I reuse it, but under a different domain? Or is it just completely no good, at this point and I need to build another?

There are right and wrong ways to do it. Evidenced by the fact that their own plugin has changed over the years to accommodate changes in what google looks at. 

Not saying wp-cloaker does it wrong – just saying t…[Read more]

As far as I know you should be able to get quite a few sites under one account.

Andrew has mentioned using multiple LLC’s (and presumably DBA’s) to create multiple adsense accounts.

Becker also recommended Rent A Serp – which was a complete rip off of SemEasy’s work (to the point that a licensing settlement was reached).

I’m referring to Localizer Leads Tool which is a desktop software that scrapes yellowpages, the web, G places, and others (depending on which setting you’re using) to build lists of businesses in local areas. One of the features is the ability to put in business details and…[Read more]

The quick pull of images and content is neat – but you’d have to really use it for i…[Read more]

I can’t vouch for the code itself as I don’t use it, I use the shortcode.

THe shortcodes for maps is in the drop down that has the shortcodes for ads too, when using the visual editor. 

I believe Andres said it won’t happen if you set the title area, though. I don’t set mine because I want the meta title to be the same as the article title.

Also, we watched it from G+ – that’s the only way to be able to interact with the Q&A AFAIK.

I’m not sure if the original issue is Platinum SEO or TwentyTwelve, however, another option is to remove lines 197 through 231 in functions.php of TwentyTwelve

Don’t get me wrong, I can t…[Read more]

Thats how I ‘felt’ about all of it. In the least, I couldn’t see them dropping juice – maybe just weakening. 

Most of my anchor text diversity comes from FCS, but a good point nonetheless. They could be used for anchor text diversity if they dropped all their juice anyway.

Besides, half of this probably just to shake s…[Read more]
