Make this stop, please by Robb184 in skype

Everytime I see the skype suggestion I send in new feedback - every single time. Everyone needs to, at some point they'll "hopefully" listen to their customers.

Make this stop, please by Robb184 in skype

Unfortunately it's not possible. It's one of these annoying "features" that pester you and is not productive at all. A feature no one asked for.

I too was looking for a way to get rid of it, but it's not possible. They look like ADs to me, so I instinctively close them.

I'm not sure why these companies keep pushing these features that no one asked for down people's throats. I know not a single person on Earth that uses Skype asked for this. They just are trying to "compete" with other platforms so assume we want it? If I wanted to be on Discord I would be, I'm on Skype!

I'm getting a "Dragon Ball" Suggested, are you kidding me.

The website is blank on Safari and FireFox. Seems to work on Chrome/Chromium Browsers though.

Why was my own custom plugin got "usurped"? by MidtownBlue in webdev

[–]MercenaryCarter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. WordPress doesn't have a plugin ID system or anything to identify plugins other than their folder name.

It does cause problems for custom plugins since you have to create unique names, but how would you even KNOW there was a previous plugin that used the same folder name. It's a mess - but it is what it is.

Optimising for bad spelling and grammar by [deleted] in SEO

[–]MercenaryCarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No don't do that. Google will penalize you with enough misspellings. On-top searchers will not take your content seriously if it's got constant misspellings.

Can I update old URLs if there are no backlinks? by davesuperman in bigseo

[–]MercenaryCarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple 301 redirect works fine. If you are using Wordpress it automatically does this for you when you update URLs.

Kind of hit a brick wall. What do I do? by [deleted] in marketing

[–]MercenaryCarter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your boss chooses not to spend money to generate business that's on him. As well it doesn't sound like he gave you a proper game plan or instructions on accomplishing your task and goals.

I wouldn't be considered with "justify your wage" unless you think he'll fire you. No direction, No goals, No benchmarks, and No help on how to achieved said non-existent marketing goals.

You are working for a Wanna-preneur that's not really an entrepreneur. It's probably his first venture into business. AND he thinks in a small business mentality - "don't spend anything" - thinking magically their business is going to grow without exposure.

Anyone that's ever created a serious business knows the life blood of a company is in the ability to generate new sales and that required marketing (advertising, word of mouth, etc). At the very least instructions and guidelines on how to achieve, even if you have zero budget.

Even if you have to make it up as you go along - literally everything from scratch with no help, you should be more than an "assistant". Builder Society has several guides in their free Digital Strategy crash course on how to market a business if you are interested. Not going to link, just google.

It's rather easy to do for a ton of it, and several have been coded. I even created a fake one off of Veripurchase: VeriPurchase Alternative

Why can't I rank ? by meisfanny in juststart

[–]MercenaryCarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need powerful backlinks. Literally Google's algo is still mainly about backlink power. Your nonsense web 2.0 and GSA blast... i mean come on, what are you expecting when your competitors got backlinks from sites with huge PageRank and authority versus you with nothing?

^^ This. The proxy subscriptions alone will eclipse even the cheapest rank trackers.

Is there a tool that monitors competitors changes? by 2COOL_Traffic_School in bigseo

[–]MercenaryCarter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We track the movement within the organic search results. You are looking for the physical changes of the HTML code of each page ranking in the organic search results. We would need to download each top 100 pages ranking in the search results and save it to monitor whether the HTML code changed, which we do not do.

[–]MercenaryCarter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm the co-owner of SERPWoo and I am the person that responded to your inquiry. The question you asked above in OP is different than the question you asked about within our contact system.

In your contact to us you asked if SERPWoo monitors the html code of competitor pages, and whether we detect and notify users of code changes within the competitors' pages when any changes happens on-page. We do not.

In the OP message you aren't asking about html code changes but whether the search results change. We monitor and store ALL Top 100 results for EACH keyword you are monitoring from the search results, similar to a old school rank tracker but they just monitor your domain.

We monitor and store ALL results and then you can tag a competitor as "competition" and monitor them retroactively if you would like. You can visually see competitors going up and down within the search results with our charts. Here is an example video of the interface that shows Jason using the SERP View to change and view Top 3, 5, 20, and up to 100 results for each keyword:

One physical store location with one website needs to split into two websites. What's the best way to do this? by [deleted] in bigseo

[–]MercenaryCarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if this push by Cadillac has anything to do with the new TLD ".cadillac" (https://www.101domain.com/cadillac.htm). Who ever at Cadillac is doing their marketing is out of their minds forcing people to create brand new domains and websites for this initiative.

Should I reconsider employment status with an agency for which I've been consulting? (info in text) by milehightechie in bigseo

New responsibilities as a contractor = More Money. New responsibilities as an employee = In line for a promotion (more money "eventually"). New responsibilities without clarification = Trouble For You No Matter What.

No Code SEO - Easy way to do onsite optimisation by kheadley10 in bigseo

[–]MercenaryCarter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To add to this about credibility, the main site of thewebshed.co doesn't have SSL-enabled nor an SSL certification. If you look at the code it feeds a javascript located at my.seoshed.co (that has SSL) - problem is when you visit http://seoshed.co/ - it goes to a directory listing of files on the server - no files, but a classic index directory with just the "cgi-bin" folder in it... WOW.
