    Does google favor popular ecommerce sites?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    For eCommerce queries, google favors eCommerce websites - websites that actually sell the product - over "info" sites, if they determine that the users intention is to buy something. So you will see plenty of instances when a 0 links page on a big commerce site ranks very high in top, while info...

    News Aggregator Website

    I still don't see how your site is different from a social bookmarking site like digg or reddit where you can vote or comment on other websites articles. Or do you imagine you will be able to copy / paste full articles from other news websites on your own site? Cause that won't last long, it's...

    Is this a good idea?

    IDEA 
    Flash games website monetized with adsense have a very hard time making any money at all - since no one clicks the adsense ads, since they are there to play the game and don't want to leave the page. Take a look at the industry and see how many people complain about a lack of good monetizing...

    Success on KickStarter is highly dependent on your ability to promote your kick starter project (aka bring eyeballs to the kickstarter page, get press, get featured, etc...) rather than the innovation of the product. Don't make the mistake that so many people did and assume that just putting...

    Let's Learn from a Loser: How I Lost $10k Outsourcing

    SOURCING WEB/DIGITAL 
    Instead of talking to developers and expecting them to research open source projects that will save you thousands of dollars on your project for free (I hope you are not under the misguided assumption that developers knows by heart all the open source source codes available) try paying them to...

    Unique website development question

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    You are probably not going to be able to find a plugin that does that off the shelf as it's a highly personalized customization in terms of functions and features. Your best bet would be to hire a wordpress developer (more precisely a php developer, since wordpress is coded in php) to create one...

    Where does the profit come from?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    The "free stuff" that those companies offer is initially subsidized by either: A) Investment money from VC companies until critical mass is achieved, such as the case for Facebook, then the monetization process starts (ads + promoted likes, and etc...) B) Other products that are cash cows...

    That's pretty basic actually, Google Adwords tool show the CPC required for you to appear on GOOGLE.COM the official search engine for that particular keyword.

    What happens when no one wants your leads?

    They are not stupid, you just have a limited knowledge about how their market operates and you are unable to see their problems and needs properly. I would do more market research and talk to your prospective customers - without trying to sell them on something - to really understand how their...

    SEO Help, Site not ranking in Google and Bing

    MARKETING 
    The Keyword "Express Home Loans" in the australian google do not seem to be that competitive to me, based on the low quality profile of the websites that rank in top and the fact that you are already on page 3 with virtually no offpage seo done so far. Most of the links you said that are...

    The good thing is that your competitors do not have that many links as well and for the australian google search engine, your term is not competitive at all.

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    A website does not change its code only when you see that "stuff has modified on the webpage". This comes back to what dknise said, if you don't understand how software works it's hard to assess the difficulty of an idea. A website can look identical on the front end while the source code...

    Unique Ebook - how to promote on Amazon?
