    Google Ads: Google dipping their hand in our wallets

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Same....the ads that were more general terms I had running, I had to cut those out months ago. Now, I am busy adding negative keywords daily due to all the crap being allowed to come through via modified broad, or even exact match. As frustrating as it may be, staying on top of it will...

    AMA: SEO

    HOT! MARKETING 
    My site has been stuck on page two for months now. I did get it on the bottom of page one for a few fleeting moments but it went back to page 2 shortly. I feel like my content is superior that anything else in the market. At this point, is it all about getting more quality backlinks? I have...

    You are correct Andy, exact is far from exact anymore. My google rep called me today after I e-mailed him. His reply, well...you are getting leads at what seems to be a good price. He does not see all the BS leads that has been coming through that google is counting as a lead but in reality...

    The Antonio Brown Saga...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    First thought that came to my mind was possible CTE. He has some random, bizarre things happening around him and he isn't thinking things out well obviously.

    SEO Reality Check - Lessons from building 17 websites, and almost 50 PBN sites in the last 5 years

    EXECUTION HOT! 
    Nice post @Jonathan Hoch. I have stayed away from PBN type links, due to the fact it is "risky"....if Google ever catches up...bam the traffic disappears. It is also risk/reward but eventually it will blow up as it is not REALLY adding any true value. I noticed some of my competitors had...

    Collecting the All Important Revenue

    @RichieG I run a lead gen site for small businesses who have past due customers and refer them to collection agencies who can assist in collecting on the delinquent accounts. I am not sure if your business spans multiple states or not, but it is important if you do decide to hire a collection...

    Should I Close My Business?

    INTRO 
    I wouldn't get a lower paying job. You have started your gutter cleaning business, which his more than most can say. You have got jobs and you have made money, more than most can say. You say some days you can make $1,000, other weeks only a few hundred. I would focus on marketing and scale...

    Possible Blue Ocean? Affordable "tiny" housing park

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    I wonder if a Tiny Home retirement village would be desirable. People have been retiring to MHP to live in trailers in FL for decades. They have "The Villages" in FL, essentially all retirees. 110k population. Tons of golf courses, tennis, even doctors, within the community. But they are...

    Sales Down For 3 Months - Help?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Thanks @biophase and @AndyBlack I am going to give it a bit longer. It is a very, very narrow niche site. I suspect, after a few more weeks, I will have some more data to dive into and then see if I can find out the cause for what I suspect is a slump in sales. Will try to remember to give...

    Sales Down For 3 Months - Help?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Similar issue with my site, for any eComm guys who have experienced anything like this. The site/domain has been around for over a decade. Running on Volusion currently. We have not changed anything. Can't put our finger on why the sales dropped off so dramatically over the last 2 months...
