   Product is great, but I think distribution is waaay overlooked in the startup world.

    Its simply a byproduct of being in an emerging market. I don't know much about The Gold Rush, but I'm guessing people involved with it weren't staying at their jobs very long.

    I'm starting to wonder if people are interpreting "resources" to mean "CPU resources," when I really mean "resources" as in time, money, etc. What's your hypothesis for why the crawler started indexing more pages per day when your response

    I don't know the details of how their crawler works, but it seemed to me that if a page takes more time to serve to the crawler, there would be some lost resources. Even so, faster page load time also means higher AdSense CTR, and more mone

    I understand the user experience issue, but I'm trying to illustrate that there's also the issue of Google's resources. They are a business after all, no matter how they hope to not be evil. What I did to make the speed improvements - check

    From the comments: Yeah, 15% sounded high to me, too. But, from my Commission Junction account: 23 leads 3 sales —– 13% conversion ratio – about right.

    In Google Analytics, under Visitors > Visitor Loyalty > Length of Visit, you can find the number of 0-10 second page views, which could be a useful metric to try to reduce - now if I could make a line graph out if it instead of a ba

    That's an excellent example that you seem to have been able to access quite readily - impressive, +1. And I do agree that you can't just look at P/E ratio. But the key difference is ...based on one breakthrough tech product... Apple has a

    These reasons are pretty weak. For example: #3. The Share Price Apple still has a P/E ratio of only 22. Meanwhile, Amazon's is 70. If Apple traded at that P/E ratio, the share price would be $940, instead of $270. Whose investors should

    Thanks for that. I heard something similar but couldn't find records of specifics. I suppose that means that its 6 in Chrome as well. And of course, there is IE7, which is still what many of my visitors use.

    That's a much more attractive configuration file than an Apache one. I see that you're using FastCGI. Something I didn't mention was that I attempted to use FastCGI, but gave up because my memory usage kept snowballing until I had to reboot

    Thanks for that explanation. Based on what you said, I think I'm approaching it okay. On a few posts that have really high bounce rates, I use the Custom Post Template to serve CSS and JS inline on those pages (amongst other customizations)

    As I talked about in the post, I have some pages that are popular with search engine visitors. They generally come to the page, read, and then leave. I serve CSS and Javascript in <style> and <script> tags on those pages so

    I heard that advice about nginx, but was concerned about lack of a mod_rewrite module for smart URL structure. Is there a way to have search-engine-friendly-urls easily with nginx?

    I'm not sure about that inline issue - I hadn't heard that. I actually got that advice from Yahoo, I think. The inline Javascript and CSS makes the page load faster, so in theory it would help.

    Well, so much for that. Now Google Chrome and Twitter both think my site serves malware. Anybody know what to do about this?
