Feedback : - An overall calendar would be good. - Software updates would be good, including what you're about to update and what type of php version the updates need. - Is it possible to change the text in the html ? I'm thinking about

I don't think it's false. I have a site with one page, one video. Time on site really is zero seconds. However, playing the video may trigger an event that allows Google to measure some of the visits.

Government websites need to start with the user. What's the point of showing all the information if it's not relevant ? What's the point of showing me permits that only apply to residents, if they don't apply to a business owner ?

So Google UK is now allowed to use everyone's photographs (not just thumbnails) and use those photographs to sell ads next to it. How is that right ? It only applies to orphan works but you can easily and in an anonymous way strip out the m

You're right, some of it gets lost, but where I live there's a company that recycles all kinds of electronic equipment, circuit boards, mobile phones, .... The company's name is Umicore, they recover the gold at a cost that's cheaper t

That doesn't sound fair. But it doesn't surprise me. Most of it is a waste of my time. I find my apps in the browser from people or companies talking about them. Then I go to the app store and do a search for it.

I think you're right. A lot of companies are making an app to show the contents of their website. That just doesn't make sense. The app I use for that is the browser.

I think it could work but you need 2 things: niche content and an audience adding value. I'm not interested in what the NY Times has to say about sports so why would I pay for it, I'm not even remotely interested in 99 % of all of the

If I'm not mistaken, they do have 5 billion in cash and cash equivalents. ( I don't know where that came from, equity or net income in the previous years ? ) So they can keep this going for 18 more years. And then they can start selling the

It's not always about being productive. If problems start to surface and you're not there talking to those you need to talk to or you're not there to see it for yourself and you do half of all your work by email, then chances are high you'r

It's not that unusual. Lots of companies start out the way this guy did. This happens all over the world, not just in China. In order to scale things up, you either rely on manual labor or automated machinery. And you can outsourc

I've seen companies enter into a partnership with a Chinese company to manufacture niche products. A few years in, the partnership is stopped and the Chinese company copies everything, shows up on trade shows, etc. There's nothing you can d

I don't see a lot of companies doing this in the near future. Most of the products out there are made in different materials and most companies consider their CAD drawings to be their IP. You might as well partner up with a Chinese company

My impression is local plumbers don't care about SEO. They don't care about scale. They care about making money. They don't need SEO for it, they need to offer a good service. Links with a no follow attribute do have some value,
