Yes, you are correct, you only really need proof of address once you start offering credit (running hard credit check). And you're also correct in terms of AML - once a person crosses over a certain threshold or raises and risk alarms,

Monzo also use Transunion for their credit checking which are lot more relaxed compared to the other big 2 (Equifax and Experian), which usually require 3 years of address proof to run through their KYC/credit checks.

When I interviewed at CM they said they actually provide data back to Google/Apple/TfL. I guess this for analytics, but I’m unsure if they charge companies for their data. As far I know, their Pass weekly transport card is now the

They pre-purchase annual oyster cards and sell them back to you at a weekly rate. They recently got Apple Pay which is really useful with the express travel option so you don't need to use touch/face id to tap in. They still have

It's Moz's Metric. Majestic has their own metric (TF/CF Trust Flow and Citation Flow) and Ahrefs (UR/DR URL Rating and Domain Rating). I would say Ahrefs's is marginally more accurate then the others but to be hones

As an example, people use the Google sites as a Parasite. I said in my other reply, with the last Google update, most of these pages are over a year old, so it would be hard to replicate it if you were build a site today: https://

Hmm that's not 100% correct. Google still does apply this to some domains. Blogspot is a good example of this. and the s3.amazonaws.com is the same domain for EVERY bucket, so it definitely has link authority. The thing the article mis

Nofollow's are still relevant. If 100% of your backlinks are dofollow, then that's going to look unnatural, and you will be more likely to receive a Google penalty. Nofollow links aren't going to pump up your stats, but they

It's called negative SEO. There was a Google update that is a bit more lenient so your competitors can't negatively spam your site. Unless your competitor had some serious dosh to mass spam your site on PBN's, they would most

Dofollow and nofollow don't matter as much as the did a few years ago. It will look like unnatural link building if 100% of your backlinks are dofollow. There's usually a intial period where sites with zillions of spammy backlinks

Yes - Ahrefs only measures Google search traffic. If you were to use something like Similarweb, it will give you a estimate of overall traffic from all platforms: https://www.similarweb.com/website/dailymail.co.uk
