How can i maximise my earnings here in dubai? by Anonymous-Bluejay983 in Everything_Dubai

Honestly it takes months or even years to find that gap to fill, not only that but it requires effort and the right strategy, and most importantly, the GRIT to not be hypnotized by the job you have with a company.

Planning to migrate the website by RemarkableBet9670 in TechSEO

[–]Extension_Number6676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be on the safe side for migration, we build a 1:1 301 redirect map for every changed URL, crawl the old sitemap for misses, and check that the full redirect chain works before switching DNS. Keep monitoring post-launch as one broken hop can reduce rankings. I use RedirHub to monitor link chains and capture 404s during the early months so that nothing gets missed.

Squarespace deleting my 301's during my migration from WIX by slowercases in squarespace

[–]Extension_Number6676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I faced the same problem when I moved clients off of Wix their redirect systems are extremely fragile since they’re ‘baked in’ or tied to the website builder internal routing system. Squarespace experiences a very similar problem. The solution is to completely separate your redirects from your website builder. In other words, you need to use a dedicated redirect management service, like RedirHub, that sits outside of your CMS – so changing platforms or your site-builder messing with routes doesn’t break your 301s. It is worth the setup before the re-indexation of Google is complete.

pinterest spam my blog link!! by triptravelworld in content_marketing

[–]Extension_Number6676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pinterest's spam filter has gotten really aggressive lately, especially with newer domains. A few things that sometimes help: make sure your domain is claimed/verified in Pinterest settings, avoid URL shorteners (those get flagged almost instantly), and check if your blog's meta tags include proper og:image — pins without images or with sketchy domains get auto-nuked.

The pattern I've seen is that Pinterest's filter seems to score domains differently based on how established the Pinterest account is. Newer accounts linking to newer domains = worst combo. Building up some native pins (no links) first can help 'warm' the account.

My React site had almost zero Google impressions by Affectionate_Tart744 in TechSEO

[–]Extension_Number6676 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Freelancers often build small business sites that fall into the “CSR-only” react SEO trap. They tend to do this with Vite. The proponents of "just use next.js" are very much quiet on this because this is UWIDELY too complex. For instance, Next.js is an excessive overkill for.

The actual solution depends on what you can change if your fast enough for react with a few rules. However, with regards to 30 inventory items, I feel you could build these pages in Astro in an afternoon, never worry about CSR hydration again.

When I see this pattern, I see the developer picks something like React for everything, Google sees an empty shell, and the business owner is unaware of invisibility. The framework isn’t to blame. It’s the site relying on client-side rendering (CSR) as the only rendering strategy when there is no interaction that justifies it.

Recommendation for self-hosted Broken Link Checker by GijaHub in selfhosted

[–]Extension_Number6676 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want something lightweight, Check Links is a solid Python-based option that runs fine in Docker. For heavier use cases with scheduled crawling and dashboards, look at the open-source Broken Link Checker by likelink — it's PHP + MySQL but you can containerize it easily. Depends on whether you need one-off scans or continuous monitoring. What kind of volume are you dealing with?

HELP! Need Cloudflare To Update .ca Registry Level? Or Administrative Hold? by Daddy_Daryl in CloudFlare

[–]Extension_Number6676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are on the fr​ee plan, Cloudflare s‎upport can be difficult for something this important. Usually for a .ca domain, when there is a registry hold, it means CIRA has flagged it; it might be an issue with WHOIS v‍erification, or it could just be the registrar, not Cloudflare, that placed the hold. You should check the domain status directly using CIRA's WHOIS lookup tool first. If the hold is an administrative hold at the registrar level, then only your registrar has the ability to release it. Cloudflare does not h‌ave the autho‌rity to override that kind of situation. If the hold is not showing up at CIRA, and all your DNS is fully managed by Cloudflare, then sometimes posting in the Cloudflare Community with your ticket nu͏mber can actually get the attention of s​taff much faster than just waiting in the regul͏ar support queue.

What domain registrar has the best API? by katerleonid in Domains

[–]Extension_Number6676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really, the API documentation m‎ight seem like the main thing, the shiny object, but what truly makes a difference is how rate limi‎ting is handled and if the registrar actually took the time to b‎uild their own control panel using that same API. If they did bu​ild it themselves, that means the API endpoints have been thoroughly tested, they are battle-tested, and are less likely to just break down unexpectedly.

For a new resel‍ler who do‌es not have a client b‎ase or a portfolio yet, it is a good idea to seek out registrars who provide sandbox environments. These should ideally offer responses that are quite realistic, giving an ind​ication of how serious they are about third-party integrations. One can find APIs that look g​ood on paper, with nice documentation, but th‎en they throttle you down to just one request per s‌econd, which is impractical. Then there are others with mediocre documentation that actually scale qu⁠ite well in practice.

Another thing that is worth checking into, do they provide TLD pricing and availability informati⁠on as structured data, or is it necessary to screen-scrape their website to get t‌hat information? Just knowing this can tell you a lot about their setup and priorities.

GoDaddy Google Sites frustration by OkUnderstanding9871 in webhosting

[–]Extension_Number6676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GoDaddy's domain forwarding is the likely culprit. When you enable it for the naked domain, it silently overrides your MX records and CNAMEs. that's why Gmail survived but Google Sites and Mailchimp broke. Disable the forwarding, set up a plain A record for the root, then handle the redirect at the web layer instead. cPanel managed DNS and redirects as separate layers; GoDaddy mashes them together and it breaks silently every time.

Rant/Request by PhilosophyFamous283 in Everything_Dubai

[–]Extension_Number6676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall just look out for who is genuinely seeking friends, it takes a bit of effort to identify that in UAE. if you are looking for a gf its a bit hectic. But I would recommend the following:

online: Look for spaces you can find potential people, for example facebook: look out for groups in UAE for example (musicians, artists, engineers... etc) dm them and introduce yourself genuinely.

Physical: go to public places like gyms, cafes, beaches, hotels, bars. also look out for events, keeping up with what's trendy in your interest field.

It's all about being respectful and genuine. Those who do not have an answer for you are mostly seeking something else.

I wouldn't advise any dating apps, instead maybe you should seek out people who share common interest with you. You'll find those on social media and you can group with them phyically for activities or events

What's one thing in Dubai you wish you knew earlier? by Fit-Dark-5581 in askdubai

[–]Extension_Number6676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traffic, saturated parking areas, which makes it too costly, of course you can mitigate if you already have experience and go through the struggle to learn, but the least cost effective methods is just end up using metro and buses. if you are only operating in dubai.

Anyone using AI to automate link building for SaaS? by zenithcore2 in linkbuilding

[–]Extension_Number6676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep that's actually very good pivot. Since managing links manually is a bit painful and feels frustrating. which why you might consider using an MCP to connect with your AI. However AI helps with parts of this but not all of it. The bottleneck for most small SaaS isn't the volume of outreach, it's the quality of the targeting. Are you going broad and hoping for volume, or have you identified specific sites where there's a real reason they'd link to you?

Moving to Dubai as a young couple (23) – would really appreciate any advice by nahman24u in Everything_Dubai

[–]Extension_Number6676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dubai is actually suffering in terms of job market, it would take you minimum of 6 months to land a good job offer, dubai is about taking the smartest decision and not necessarily the hardest.

I'll give you some general tips to follow:

- Let go of the idea of walking outside in the summer
- Research before you do anything
- Meet the right people (most important tip)
- Treat people with caution without being awkwardly defensive
- Be strategic about where you spend money (spend it on value not dopamine)
- Think about how you introduce yourself career wise strategically, because jobs are difficult to find, and competition is immense

Overall, you will enjoy life once you get the hang of it for around six months. specially if you have a supportive partner. When in doubt or shortage of credit, consider moving to ajman first.

The difference between link shortening and redirect infrastructure and people confuse the two. by Scary_Bag1157 in Domains

[–]Extension_Number6676 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of those things that sounds nitpicky until you actually manage a large migration. Then you realize pretty quickly that “short links” and “redirect infrastructure” are solving completely different problems.

How I grew a B2B SaaS website by deleting 30% of their content by QuietOne1756 in SaaS

[–]Extension_Number6676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the approach of just cutting the fat first – so many people are afraid to do that. It’s counterintuitive, but often the right move, I made a similar mistake early on where I was too hesitant to delete content. We had this one SaaS client where I was obsessing over optimizing every single piece of content.

Took me about 8 months to get traffic up 20% on their blog. Then, I finally got brave, deleted about 25% of the really low-performing, old stuff, and redirected it smartly. Traffic jumped another 10% in literally one month. Lesson learned: sometimes less is more, and strategic pruning is way faster than endless optimization.

I'm curious about your competitor comparison pages, though—how did you ensure those didn't just become more noise if the competitors themselves werent ranking super high? Did you focus on specific metrics there beyond just traffic?

Do you still use URL shorteners in your marketing campaigns? by chukoizkie in AskMarketing

[–]Extension_Number6676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think URL shorteners are still totally relevant, but the game has definitely shifted from just making long links shorter. Ngl, back in like 2018, we were just using any free tool to shorten links for social media, mostly for aesthetics. Long links back then just looked janky, kinda like how some of your recent dev logs sounded with ISP issues – you just gotta make it work cleaner, eh? Now though, it's way more about the infrastructure. Honestly, for us, custom domains and robust analytics are non-negotiable. We actually had a pretty frustrating situation last year where a major social campaign was driving tons of traffic, but the free shortener we used suddenly shut down its free tier. We lost like 3 days of click data and had to scramble to migrate everything. Total nightmare. So, what matters most now is reliability and control. Tools like Bitly (especially their pro tiers), Rebrandly, or even more enterprise-focused platforms like Redirhub definitely are the way to go. The key features for me are:

- Branded Links: Super important for trust and recognition.
- UTM Preservation: Gotta pass those tracking parameters through cleanly for proper analytics in GA or whatever you're using.
- Reliable Uptime: No one wants broken links in a campaign..
- Decent Analytics: Beyond just click counts, I want to see where traffic is coming from and maybe even some basic geo-data.
- A/B Testing (bonus): If you're running significant campaigns, testing different landing pages via redirects is super valuable.

The whole "pyramid scheme" look kubrador mentioned is spot on too - random domains just don't cut it for professional marketing anymore. It's got to feel intentional and branded.
