You can try to combat a part of this by installing Ghostery. It will block a lot of these third-party requests. As a website owner you could link to the share page, instead of loading the widgets, or load the widgets only after the user req

Create web applications, rank as a web application. Create web pages, rank as a web page. This is a band-aid by Google. Developers created inaccessible websites (JS-only, no HTML fallback) and Google still wanted to give those sites a chanc

That page is commercial spam (or "veiled spam"). It serves no other purpose than to get a link to his own product site, no discussion, no nothing. Just: For the special price of 999 Euro you can get your own. How is that quality c

Yes, it can improve your rankings, both directly and indirectly. Directly: It adds rich content to your posts (video's, audio, images). It adds keywords in the image alt attribute and image description. Good images will increase your r

MetaFilter should definitely nofollow their external links in the comments. That makes sure that spammy/unnatural links do not count as a vote (which turns MetaFilter into a bad neighborhood as far as search engines are concerned, and

Sorry to hear you did not get in. Must be very disappointing. I'd have a deeper look at the feedback though, and assume good faith in the rejection. From the rejection: Unfortunately, we were unable to get to believing that you had a

Adsense has an age requirement. You have to be 18 or over to use it. From the terms of service: By submitting an application to use the Services, if you are an individual, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age . If you are 18

Google won't give you the exact links that hurt you. I think if they did, then people would just disavow those specific links and go on spamming (hoping some other links would stick). Not really a lesson to learn there. They do give yo

In my experience Quora ranked a LOT higher before these shenanigans. I do not think Quora is getting the best of both worlds here: High organic rankings and many user sign-ups.

Parsons still has a crater on the moon named after him. Very interesting story though. I think Parsons is more renowned in occult circles than in scientific circles. His legacy remains in both.

Data size is relative to company size. If I work with a 120Gb clicklog file for a company with 10 employees, where no other employee has the tools or know-how to work with such a dataset, then that data is (treated as) big data. In the hand
