I think that their response is also proving a point to the general SEO community that this sort of activity is frowned upon. It's very unlikely that your typical website would get such a harsh punishment for something so small & trivial

These are purely examples, and run off an affiliate basis. There's a bit of education needed in this particular marketplace as to why hosting your own coupons locally is a good idea :)

Stuart from Crowd9 here, we have a few products (plus quite a few unfinished ones): StoreCrowd, Couponzor & Thinng. Melb based, all bootstrapped, all profitable. Check me a line on @thegyppo if you want to chat.

We're working on something that allows merchants to build customised coupon pages for their business imagine coupons.walmart.com. We've mostly used Bootstrap, however it'll be interesting when businesses ask the pages to look like their cur

Outsource the writing, then spend time doing the quality checking rather than the hard yards. That should allow you to scale 2-3x faster & take on more work. The downside is trying to find good contractors who can translate to a standar

Hey guys, I was really inspired when I saw the reception to HackerThings yesterday. We built an app over the course of a few weekends that we've been using personally but not had the time to promote, we're growing organically just via word

I don't think this has anything to do with the Opensearch.xml file, from what I've seen Google is also doing this manually. Previously they have been using the title from DMOZ but, Check out our startup in the SERPS "StoreCrowd" the branded

You make it sound like throwing up a page about a specific keyword will help you rank after x days. That is simply not the case, if I'm building 100 links per month & you're building 0 then my "time to rank" is going to be significantly

I really can't get over how a blatantly spammy website (Adsense plastered over pages) just reorganizing SO content can have such a huge traffic velocity - check this alexa chart: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/efreedom.com

My Uncle used to serve on the Invincible, heard lots of incredible stories. Can't imagine they'd sell this to just anyone with a load of cash though?

This is looking like a similar option for us, I'm doing pretty hefty hours between startup & fulltime employment at the moment (although we are profitable). So just need to get the timing right, but definitely looking forward to more fl

Any reason (I can't think of) why they might choose such long URL's for the job listings rather than something short like /positions/air-bnb/ruby-developer-needed/? Just makes the URL's a bit more readable especially if we're sharing them a
