Bots have been an issue on Spotify for years. Spotify is pretty good at sorting them and removing fake streams.

Yup. But they still support the feature and sold people on that benefit. So whether the product is still accepting new sign ups is neither here nor there. They are part of the “problem” that they are railing against.

There’s a certain irony that Basecamp’s own CRM product expounds the benefits of tracking email opens and clicks. “The simplest system available to send an email to a group of contacts. Track opens and clicks and stay top-of-mind.“ https:&

Limited evidence suggests that might not be the case. Portugal decriminalised personal use of all drugs some time ago and it’s generally been regarded as pretty successful. [1] The mortality rate from drugs in Portugal is 3 people per milli

Interesting! How did you find a relevant domain with backlinks that were going to work for you? This is something I've looked into in the past, but discounted as I thought it wouldn't work, so would love to know more about how you

Can you really convert 10% of that sort of traffic though? I would have thought 1% would be ambitious. Quite prepared to be wrong though - I suppose if the relevant keywords are really strong then maybe it would perform higher.

You can yes - in fact, I was listening to “D for Diagnosis” on BBC Radio 4 last night. The show title was “Ever Changing Labels” and a psychiatrist made the point (3’20” into the programme) that what we call “depression” in DSM-V has 9 symp
