    The hosting "Worst Case Scenario" has happened. Newbs, pay attention.

    From an email earlier from a tech support guy from the company who took over from Volsh. Apparently this happened as they were trying to migrate my stuff which was supposed to be available until June 19th, also known as 1 day in the future and therefore not today: Everyone who wants to go back...

    Seeking opinion on engineering schematics

    I have been quietly developing a product for the last year. The actual physical Proof of Concept has been done for a while - now it's been translated to engineering schematics in CAD/CAM. If you want product details PM me and I'll hook you up if you're someone who's a known poster around here...

    Got this notice late last night: Seems like a good opportunity for you hosting re-sellers and/or owners. Whip up a migration package and sell me something, STAT!

    WP Blog Auto-comment poster?

    I'm looking for the best WP auto-comment poster. I don't really care if it's part of a larger package or just stand alone. Yes, I assume I'll end up paying for it - I want the best product available for this. Recommendations please? Feel free to PM me affiliate links if you truly have a...

    Suggestions for managing a local SEO project?

    I have a local SEO project going on. I'm using Auction2Post to put up content for a used car site. It's close to ranking #1 for a medium sized town (150,000 people). There are probably 10 major car dealerships and a number of smaller ones. Now that the site is close to ranking #1 the plan is...

    Let's talk about fireworks

    I'm getting ready to buy some for the 4th of July - usually they ship ground freight so you have to do it ahead of time. Fortunately just about everything is legal where I live. Anyone got a mail order supplier they prefer? Or if someone happens to be running an aff site for them PM me the...

    WP Footprint detection prevention

    I have a number of IP's. Each of those has several (<10) WP installs with similar constructs in terms of themes, etc. I've got the robots.txt all done up appropriately to prevent spiders from visiting the inner workings but as we all know that doesn't mean jack. I've been considering adding a...

    Totally messed up WP site

    I have a WP site that I am going to re-build. It is just a mess. Needless to say it's my last site on my crappy shared hosting. When I try to download all the posts as XML - I get an empty file. I try to download the DB - nothing. Anyone have any sneaky tips for getting data out of WP? I...

    Just found my first high-value domain

    I found an exact match .net domain that has 110,000 searches a month. The .com for this domain is NOT developed at all. It just has a landing page saying the domain is for sale for $25K or lease for $250/mo. Consequently I suspect the .net will be easier to rank #1 than it would be if the...

    P202 link not tracking correctly

    I am setting up a new campaign with an EWA offer. The EWA offer link works correctly - I can paste it directly into a browser and it re-directs appropriately and shows a click in my EWA stats. Obviously this isn't an EWA problem. Their stuff is solid. I have a new campaign set up in P202...

    Private lander review?

    I have a somewhat exclusive CPA deal going - exclusive enough that the business owner put a re-direct on his site for me to use before I got a lander going. When I got the lander up and running the sales went to hell - obviously I don't want to out my lander/niche/offer - so if there's a couple...

    Best WP drip-feed data importer?

    I'm starting some new stuff and I want to build a catalog-type site from a datafeed. This time I wanted to do it drip-feed style. I've been looking at a number of different packages - anyone have recommendations for a Wordpress datafeed importer that will drip-feed? It looks like a couple of...

    So. Very. Pissed.

    My hosting has been down for 24 hours. I have not had an update from the vendor in 10+ hours and the last thing I heard was essentially "Oh - it still doesn't work?" It's a VPS...and the owners are WF members..... No answer on the tech support #.... No answer in direct email to the two...

    Simple task scheduler?

    My brother in law is a great guy - he works in a foundry and just got a decent promotion. He's now in charge of 120 or so subordinates. These are very skilled people - but they are NOT computer wizards. His subordinates are part of the maintenance crew and do tasks like... -repair machinery...

    Awesome hotel in Den Hague

    I just looked this up today for a friend who wanted to know about this. If you're feeling the need to travel to the Netherlands - specifically to Den Hague - you can't go wrong staying here: Steigenberger Kurhaus Hotel - Photo Gallery I stayed there a few years ago for a couple weeks. It was...

    So I popped my PPC cherry

    202 clicks, 1 conversion - and I couldn't be happier. I'm down $190 or so and learned a lot in the process. Pointless post over, flame away and carry on.

    Headed to HDI Orlando

    If you are also going to that convention (non-IM) drop me a line. Given how huge that thing is I wouldn't be surprised if others from here were there. Hell, if you're just from Orlando and from WF drop me a line - I'll offer to buy a beer or two.

    PPC newb question

    Most of my weekend on WF was running searches and reading old material - I was very well reminding of how much great information is on here. I've recently gotten a few PPC campaigns up on Adcenter, FB, and Yahoo Search - mostly I'm starting relatively small. One of my FB ads - which I think is...
