I just realized I have an old ScribeSEO account at the $27/month price point. I never use it. I know how to do keyword research and I get how to do on-page SEO. The frugal part of me doesn't want to pay for something I'm not using, the neurotic part of me figures I'll cancel it then realize I...

I've been doing jack-of-all-trades social media for a client for about a year now including periodic FB ads (which I do both for my day job and as an affiliate), but now the client wants to expand their Facebook ads and have me manage it as a separate contract from what I'm already doing. As my...

I make some easy money for a client by doing a mini book report on daily news related to their niche, but I want it to be even easier. The client doesn't tend to read the posts at all, they're designed just to show the brand is keeping up with current events to their social media followers. Can...

I think I'm overthinking my phone situation and would love any feedback. I'm from the US, but live ~11 months of the year in Mexico. Not all of my clients know this because they've never asked and it doesn't matter. I have a personal number with AT&T on a plan that includes voice in Mexico. My...

My girlfriend entered a popularity contest. It's a basic approve a Woobox contest app and vote thing. I'd be super appreciative if anybody can take the <10 seconds it takes to vote. In case the link doesn't take you direct to her photo, she's the one holding/petting an octopus. Here's the link...

A site I manage for my day job has seen a pretty massive YoY decrease in traffic despite 1-2 unique SEO'd (but not over) articles per day. There were some writers we had on staff before I started that I think did some slightly shady link building, but we've never had a notice in GWT. There is...

Just so we're on similar brainwaves, let's pretend I'm doing a site geared towards horseback riding the Hawaiian islands. I hate horses, so it's not really about that, but gives you a decent idea. While equestrian enthusiasts are my primary target, beyond the best places to ride, I'm also...

It seems like it's setup for service providers to pay to post since they're making money off the services. If I'm just looking for some decent travel, adventure sport related links, do I need to pay to post over there?

TL;DR version: I have a gut feeling this potential client is going to be a pain in my ass, do I keep forging ahead but cover myself contractually or fire him now? Full version: I don't really do web design for anyone but friends or my own personal projects. It always seems to take about 10...

I'm setting up a WordPress real estate site for an international client, so unfortunately all of the US based IDX options don't really help here. Basically custom post types for properties, custom taxonomies for things like beds and baths, custom fields for descriptions, price, etc. A user can...

I know asking a tax question on here is like asking a clown to perform my appendectomy, but every CPA and tax prep person I've contacted has blown me off so I thought I'd see if there's anyone here who has dealt with a similar situation who may have some suggestions. My girlfriend and I are US...

A buddy asked me for any research I know of that suggests a difference between posting new content on his work site daily for a month vs. 30 posts on the 1st. I know in my experiments, I see a bit of an improvement when I do daily, but I haven't really quantified it or published my findings. He...

So the company I work for has an external SEO company come in about once a year to look at what's been going on and offer some "fresh" suggestions. I haven't yet seen the full report, but this time around it sounds like they're suggesting we merge our authority blog on one domain into the main...

One of my various side projects that's about to launch is (another) web design business. Yes, it's in a niche that needs it. The big push is that I finally have a salesperson who is coming with a ton of warm leads. I'll have this person and one other dealing with customers. I'll call them...

It seems like between sitemaps, RSS, IFTTT, Pipes and maybe some custom code, there'd be a way to grab a random published post from a WordPress site and feed it into Buffer. While it seems like there's a way, I sure as hell haven't been able to figure it out. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

Just screwing around while bored and found a misspelled keyword that according to MS gets pretty decent SEOT and SEOV while having easy SEO competition. But it's one of those keywords that in Google gets autocorrected. Is MS telling me the SEOT/SEOV is for the incorrectly spelled keyword? Or is...

I'm not looking for free plugins or anything, I have all I need, but am curious for another reason. I know they're pretty with it, so I'll PM details to anyone interested.

I have a wordpress site I manage that I'm running Adsense ads on. Is there a way to figure out which post is generating the ad revenue? I'd love to focus on the posts that are already performing well and try tweaking them even more to increase their potential, but I'm not seeing an obvious way...

Sorry if this is the wrong spot to ask this, but it seems like the best to me. On a WordPress site, how do you setup which image shows up when a link is shared to Reddit? It's not based on the featured image and on a few of my sites doesn't even pull the first image on the page. Perhaps my...

I use my landlady's internet (with her permission), so the ISP won't answer my questions directly. I thought I'd see if anyone else had any ideas. Whenever I use BitTorrent (Transmission client), you know, to legally download Linux distributions and such, I can get reasonable speeds in the...
