Hit by Penguin Update - Need Recovery Help
MARKETINGKeep in mind that any SEO info that's more than a year old is worthless. Well, that's not exactly true. Some bits are still useful (mostly the super-white-hat bits), and some are worse than worthless, to the point of being actively destructive (which is why you're needing some penguin recovery...- splok

Your opinion is needed! Which one to hire?
PEOPLEThanks for the info! I have a couple of equipment questions that seem relevant and may be useful to the OP too. If you were going to spring for something in between a gaming headset and a $600 studio mic voiceover and video recording, what would you recommend? I was considering picking up a...- splok

Hit by Penguin Update - Need Recovery Help
MARKETINGNo terribly specific advice, but do a bit of googling on disavowing links and reconsideration requests. If you plan to run this site yourself, you're going to end up needing to do your homework on SEO anyway. You can hire SEO companies, but if you don't know exactly what you're asking for and...- splok

Minimalist lifestyle?
OFF-TOPICIt seems like sort of a silly question when you could just toss out everything except the things you mentioned, so I'll assume that the problem isn't logical but it's more of a unreasonable attachment to your stuff. So, here's a couple of things I've done (repeatedly) that really simplifies...- splok

What is the best way to monetize porn in 2013???
If you had 2 businesses sitting on a table and you could just pick up one of them get started, would you pick: 1. The business that has a nearly infinite amount of similar goods on the market at a much lower (free) price? or 2. The business selling something with little competition that...- splok

Golden Nuggets- Tips, processes, & How To's
GOLD!Depends a bit on the people though. Different management styles are better suited to different types of people. A fast-food restaurant staffed with F*ck-ups who don't really want to be there probably needs a boss. But a group of highly skilled developers who really want to make the thing...- splok

USA physical address on website for a Panama based company - tax issues?
TAXES | REGSAh that's a good point, I was assuming he was in the US but wanted his business based offshore, but that was a pretty silly assumption. You don't need to base your business in a state just to have a mailing address there, but if he isn't a US resident and, then just getting a mailing address...- splok

USA physical address on website for a Panama based company - tax issues?
TAXES | REGSPeople can give you their opinions on tax-related issues, but realize that they're just opinions. My opinion is that companies should be taxed whereever the company is actually based, and that shouldn't have anything to do with their mailing address. Google, Apple, and Yahoo seem to make most...- splok

Can a fast-lane business be started on WordPress?
NOTABLE!To be honest, any time anyone asks if they should use Wordpress, the answer is pretty much always yes. Wordpress makes it easy to start, and starting is the hard part. If someone was experienced enough to use anything more complicated than Wordpress, they would know whether or not they should...- splok

GTA 5 Pulls In $800 Million in One Day
OFF-TOPICIf I have time later, I may mount a more vigorous defense, but to put it simply, most game players probably aren't choosing between spending the next hour saving the world or playing GTA. And even if they were, there's only so much saving the world that you can do in a day, and afterwards...- splok

Might Be Thrown Out Of The House
OFF-TOPICSo you're saying that "I've blown lots of money on iTunes!" is a good reason? And that "I've been working on starting up a business!" is something you can't say? Also, "no way out"? You're sounding pretty melodramatic man... How about just calmly and rationally explaining the situation like...- splok

GTA 5 Pulls In $800 Million in One Day
OFF-TOPICPeople jump on the launch day/week numbers like crazy, but they rarely stop to actually take a look at what's behind all the zeros. Ok, so $800M revenue in a single day, and that's probably considerably more than 50% of what the game will ever bring in. The sales figures for a AAA game drop...- splok

I am completely lost
That doesn't change math. I live in a crazy expensive place too, and people either live in shoeboxes, have shitty commutes, rely on multiple roommates (or at least two people with solid incomes), or all of the above.

I am completely lost
Even if you find another 50k job, that's about 3k/mo takehome, and you're spending 1700 of that on rent (probably around 2k after bills)... so 2/3 of your total income just to keep a roof over your head. Let that sink in for a bit... Now at 30k, that's less than 2k/mo... so obviously that...- splok

Sold All My Stuff. Taking a 9,000km Train Journey Across Asia.
OFF-TOPICYa, they can really be a pain in the a$$. I love being in new places, but I hate the planning and bureaucracy involved in getting there. There are lots of places where it's easy enough to just pop in for a visit, but Russia and China aren't those places.- splok

Sold All My Stuff. Taking a 9,000km Train Journey Across Asia.
OFF-TOPICYou may be way on the other side of this already, but I'll mention some caveats just in case, since I almost got screwed a time or two myself... Sometimes visas can take way longer to get than you'd think, and some countries won't give you a visa unless you've already booked a flight out of the...- splok
