Can you change the browser settings to stop pop-ups? I'd do that first if you haven't already. Next, add the Adblock extension. Because websites depend on ad revenue I usually whitelist the ones that aren't intrusive, but I'd block pop-ups for sure.

What about taking the high-end route? You could focus on pricey vaping devices, supplies, and bars. And pair up the vaping experience with cigars and top dollar scotch and whiskey.

Thanks for replying! I need to look into that and start playing around with keywords. Would you feel comfortable registering an .in domain given the problems with Mitsu?

Perhaps I should have given better context. I stated that, "some of those signature lines will have five links that have nothing to do with the blog topic," but that doesn't apply here. This is a forum that centers around domains, SEO, website development, and similar projects. We all try to...

I think it's gotten tougher in general, Jessica. If you're selling a product, an affordable way to get a backlink is to send the product to a blogger in exchange for a review and a link to your page. It would need to be done strategically - a blog related to your niche that ranks reasonably...

Are cryptocurrency and blockchain centric domains still popular or has the market already become too saturated? I've been playing around with keyword names on domain name checkers and several I've checked are already registered, but have no active website. Still, there's a new superstar...

It can be a useful idea. Some people change their browser settings to stop automatic redirection. It would help steer these visitors in the right direction if you provide a quick explanation with a link to your new website.

I wouldn't play around with anything Google related because you're going to need Google for search engine ranking and ads. Best not to anger them. I would normally agree with Domainant's laid-back take on this issue, until I read this thread on the forum. If France can seize a domain that's...

I think you could be onto something here. I'm going to do more with our Instagram page and start placing ads on the platform. I'll see how well it converts. Thanks for the help!

Does closing the loophole help GoDaddy's bottom-line? I'm surprised there are many worthwhile domain names that expire in the first place. I figured bots were behind most of the big scores. I'm sorry to hear that this has changed your business.

Ever since Facebook has been under scrutiny for mismanaging user data, it feels like they're reworking algorithms and becoming less commercial friendly. I believe it's hurting business. My updates are no longer showing up in personal feeds like they used to. Has anyone else noticed this...

Ah, thanks for sharing that, Jeff. Yep, I've never noticed the "search settings" feature. I know the useful terms for advanced search and left it at that.

It's a pain when using a VPN, because google insists on showing me places out of my location because that's what the VPN gives them. However, how many people are really using VPNs right now? How many people care about tracking? We're web savvy people, so we're blocking tracking and ads, but...

Since Google is putting an emphasis on SSL/https certificates, will backlinks affect your ranking if that site doesn't use them? Basically, will it hurt me if I backlink to a site that doesn't use the extra security, even though I do. Will it hurt me if they backlink to me?

Thanks for replying again, JackD. It sounds like a good solution for businesses and something I'll mention to my boss once I look into it a bit more. I bet other sites are using the same method and I just haven't picked up on it.

Generally, an altcoin is any digital currency other than Bitcoin. We're talking Dash, Ethereum, Monero, Ripple, Paragon, Litecoin, the new ICOs anything but Bitcoin itself. I'd say Litecoin and Ethereum have staying power. Litecoin has proven itself already even if it hasn't skyrocketed in...

It just sounds extraordinarily disingenuous when you consider the fact that Chinese citizens have a monopoly on Bitcoin mining. That country has benefited the most from mining and the sales of mining equipment. So, is that government shooting itself in the foot or is something else going on?

Doesn't Google punish you for that though? I thought unoriginal content was a big no-no when it comes to Google rankings. I've never noticed a site using an RSS feed for content. Is it a common practice and I'm just missing it?

I've noticed several auctions on Flippa that list a site as a turnkey business with automatic, weekly content. How exactly is the site posting content if the owner isn't writing it or paying someone else to do so?

I'm not a website developer exactly, but I take care of two WordPress blogs that are hosted elsewhere. Both have the SSL certificate. I keep WordPress, my themes, and all plugins updated. I locked down my login page and use two factor authentication (which annoys me to no end) plus I keep...
