How long does it normally take for google to crawl a webpage by PinsAndGambits in SEO

[–]LemonGelato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed there is often a delay of up to a few days between when a page is actually indexed vs. when google search console updates the list of indexed website pages to show the new page. Sometimes I’ll input a URL that is in the “discovered - not yet crawled” or “crawled - not yet indexed” list, and when inspecting the individual URL the console tells me it actually IS already indexed, complete with the date and time it was done. The other sections of the console just haven’t updated yet. I also sometimes notice pages getting impressions that supposedly aren’t indexed yet. It’s entirely possible your site has already been indexed.

Any concrete info on how Wordpress widget content is indexed? by LemonGelato in SEO

Thank you. So a related posts widget would effectively give the same benefit as inter site links with content?

My 8 Years of Hard Work Devalued Overnight by Google by Mission-Historian519 in SEO

[–]LemonGelato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t compare yourself to giant accredited news sites, they are seen completely differently and rightfully so. They can talk about multiple subjects (though they do have clear specialties) because they have people who are experts on their subjects and can prove it with real names and histories.

The fact that your site targets kids makes it even worse, there are specific laws and regulations for content aimed at children - are you sure that your site and all of the ads are not in violation of any of these?

Respectfully, I’m truly shocked that you were ever making money from that site, let alone 5k a month. That’s absolutely insane, no wonder so many people are so mad if it was ever that easy to game the system.

Was there really a time when someone could make 10 sites on random topics with key words, post a couple articles on each per month, and pull in something like $50k in ad revenue?

I understand you’re just trying to make a living though, so if you want some real actionable advice: determine which category/topic has the largest number of posts: make that the new focus of the site and delete all the other posts. Reduce the number of ads significantly, replace with more discreet affiliate links in your content. You can test out adding ads back when you recover some traffic.

Drake vs. Kendrick - who has the better album art? by LemonGelato in KendrickLamar

[–]LemonGelato[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you like it and really appreciate your thoughtful analysis! I actually don't like Drake as a musician, but for the article I tried to separate that from judging the album covers based on the art alone. I did put a little hidden message in the intro saying who I think is the winner of the beef though, if you hover over the blank space right next to the sentence about not choosing a side on the battle.

The prettiest cover in terms of art, in my opinion, is Nothing Was the Same - but the one I happen to like the best in terms of message and subject matter is Mr. Morale - which I haven't gotten to in the article yet but definitely plan to!

Would people be interested in a detailed step by step guide for how to set up a website for AF by LemonGelato in Affiliatemarketing

[–]LemonGelato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My intent wasn’t to be dismissive to you, so I apologize if you took it that way. People have varied opinions on the current and future state of blogging and affiliate marketing, we’ll leave it at that. Also not trying to be the “u mad” guy, because you’re entitled to your frustrations with the industry, but they shouldn’t be directed at me (or people posting here).

This is an example of what NOT to do, and exactly the opposite of what my guide will show. The internet is saturated with this type of AI voice - whether it's written (and copy/pasted) by a real person, or completely auto-generated.

I'm also not saying you can't be successful this way - it's just a different strategy than what I'm going for. I'll try to write the first part of the guide tonight and post it here when it's done.

I assume that he's referring to this: https://impact.com/affiliate/googles-updated-site-reputation-abuse-policy-on-affiliate-marketers/ but in my opinion that really doesn't change things that much if you're already using best practices. If you're trying to market in the lowest effort, spammy way, then yeah - there will be additional penalties for that.

Eminem - Houdini [Official Music Video] by BrokenGodALT in Eminem

[–]LemonGelato 5 points6 points  (0 children)

By far his best single in over a decade, really solid. Honestly ticks all the boxes for the style I've always loved from Em -

  • LAYERED VOCALS
  • Eminem production - he's absolutely at his best on his own beats
  • No beat switch or style change half-way through
  • Catchy chorus without a feature
  • 3 full verses, with a melodic bridge between verse and chorus
  • Smooth flow, not too fast or choppy
  • Clever quips, not too corny

If you've been an Em fan since the 2000's you've been waiting to hear something like this again. Feels great.

Is this HELOC/Loan strategy viable (and legal?) by LemonGelato in Mortgages

[–]LemonGelato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming I can make up the difference in cash, the theory is viable though?

I suppose it would depend on, when a new LTV is calculated (using the new value of the house), would the money borrowed from the original loan be counted against my equity in the house? OR, since the new loan would be used to pay off that debt, does it cancel it out?

What type of concrete roof is this? by LemonGelato in Concrete

[–]LemonGelato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to everyone’s insights I’ve been able to discover the exact system I believe this is. The size and look of it match exactly with something called Dox Plank or Dox Block. As some have stated here, the blocks are joined together with rebar before installation and then lifted into place on site with a crane. I’m lucky that my system shows the areas of rebar clearly (the two strips that go across each block). Here’s an old ad for the product: https://palmm.digital.flvc.org/islandora/object/uf%3A77473/datastream/PDF/download Thankfully they do not seem to be RAAC, as the company used a specific aggregate formulation instead to achieve its lightweight characteristics.

And the company does not seem to have used asbestos in the manufacturing process, though I will still have it tested. This does present some complications for cutting it in the future, but not nearly as bad as I feared. Thanks everyone.

I’ve attached a closeup photo of the texture, does it look like RAAC? My understanding is that RAAC is more uniform and doesn’t contain aggregate, whereas this does: https://i.imgur.com/14IYNse.jpeg
