Wow, I really see what PG meant about scripted videos now. After a few takes I unintentionally created a script in my head. I had to walk away from it for a couple days and ended up doing my video on my next take. Finally, it sounded like

Hacker News uses tables for layout vs CSS at Reddit. And of course, Hacker News isn't exactly styled.

Thanks. We're working on suggested users now based on who you already follow on Twitter. Global "recommended reads" will come after public profiles are launched. All the above will be done in the next few weeks. Nothing is planned for Face

It looks like the main domain is ranking for everything but the most random queries. Interesting to see the AJAX crawl in action.

The original author says that they won't rank, but the pages are ranking in Google with the #!. The problem is stage.gawker.com is ranking instead of gawker.com. Click the first result in [3] and it will ask you for a username and password

Usability-wise they're horrible. I'm not so sure it's going to hurt their rankings though. They're using the #! in URL structure to conform with Google's AJAX crawling rules [1] and Google is linking to the pages in the SERPs. Now they have

I think the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act [1] made this impossible in the US. Instapaper would be a third party seller and would be bound by new data pass rules: (2) the post-transaction third party seller has received the express

I wrote a small wrapper on top of backbone and Backbone.Rails.js [1]. The combo replaced a very bulky internal framework, and I would never go back. [1] https://gist.github.com/719080

I use visited links to personalize my site. There are definitely privacy implications when doing it on a large scale, but I wish there was a middle ground.

Unfortunately, the next version Firefox will block this hole, and I imagine other browsers will follow suit. http://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/03/privacy-related-changes-com...

I've read anywhere from 5-40% of the beta list will pay. I'm using 5% to be safe.

Perfect. I needed a replacement for the visited link technique that's being squashed by Firefox.

Heroku is definitely up to the job. I've stored 100s of thousands of tweets a day using Heroku workers and a larger Amazon RDS instance. Have a look at scaling your Resque workers up for your daily task, then back down once you're done. I h

No problem. Thanks for expanding. I didn't mean to imply that changing the match type will magically increase quality score. To me breaking them out as exact matches is about making the targeting better, both for the text ad and the landin

If it's a very general term, you can expect a lower quality score. I would break out all the queries it's being matched to as exact matches, effectively using the broad match to research keywords.

You can definitely do this the API. If you can handle doing some manual work, you could export files from your program to import into the Adwords Editor. The fees for the API can be limiting when you're dealing with w/ a lot of changes.

I delved deep into Adwords after suffering a SEO slap from Google, that cut my revenues (and staff) in half over night. As long as you find your niche and stay on top of it, Adwords is the best bet in my experience. I would say run some tes

Are you using broad match? If so, you should regularly: - build out your list of negative keywords - create new ad groups with exact matches on any queries that trigger your broad matched keywords Also, test your ad copy continuously. You w

a) I can't believe this linkbait made to the top of Hacker News b) the people posting comments about giving away the secrets are newbies at best.

I have a similar DSL built in Ruby that can be run by by either Mechanize or Watir. I highly recommend Watir if you need to scrape ajax.
