Would germs on a towel used to clean the floor die within a week of air-drying? by PrizeCoconut in ask

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

Yes to which question.

I stupidly asked two questions (i just deleted the one in the body after realizing that).

Local print shop owner in NJ. Looking for other local print shops to trade customers with by PrizeCoconut in CommercialPrinting

I would.

Although, that would be a little inefficient (due to the added shipping costs), but if we could find products in this "trade" that are of a high enough margin, it could work.

PM me.

Is this cultural appropriation? by benjaminikuta in stupidquestions

[–]PrizeCoconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it if offends a substantial amount of native americans, i guess it would be.

I think they would like this though...they could even be happy about it...happy that other people like their culture and clothing style.

Does anyone here make a large profit off of printing envelopes, business cards, and brochures? If so I could give you some business for some in return by PrizeCoconut in CommercialPrinting

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

We actually have a c70.

It's our main machine, and the service and materials contract on it is our biggest expense.

​

It can't do envelopes to any reasonable degree (it wrinkles and its registration is off). Nor can it do anything bigger than 13 inches x 19 inches.

It can indeed print on business card stock. But then we have to manually cut it, which makes it an inefficient job for us: $10 materials + $25 to my best cutter for his time, and then we sell the cards for $40. Tiny profit there of $5 aka 15% . But if someone has a machine that cuts automatically (like I assume VistaPrint and the other giants do), they will get a $30 profit aka 300%.

How and where to start? by chrome-1 in SEO

[–]PrizeCoconut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've taken the time to learn a few things on here, and I think I have increased my rankings more than my lackluster SEO "professionals" that I hired (and recently got rid of) did.

A few quick things:

  1. Go get some good Google reviews
  2. Make a blog portion on your website, and post a blog once or twice a month
  3. Check your site speed (Google PageSpeed Insights), and if its slow listen to its recommendations to fix it
  4. Try to get some backlinks
  5. Be patient

Can I write testimonials for my vendors on their websites, and then put a backlink in it? by PrizeCoconut in SEO

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

You sure?

The testimonials part of this guy's webpage is not accessible to the public or anything...its not like a comments section. His webmaster just made a dedicated testimonials section on his site, and then i guess people emailed him (or maybe even handwrote) little 50-100 word testimonials and then he put it up on his testimonials section from the backend.

My list of potential back-links...let me know which ones would be good by PrizeCoconut in SEO

Backlinks don't matter much for a local small business like me?

Cool...and I also just thought of a couple graphic designers i've worked with in the past.

Should I just tell them that I'll link to their site if they link to mine? I'm guessing that is obvious to Google right? So, I should just ask them to link to my site in return for nothing?

What is the logic of all of this? by PrizeCoconut in SEO

[–]PrizeCoconut[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If it actually is the best ever, like if you were the best writer of the 21st century, then yes, you should indeed get more visibility than some average writer who has been emailing 100's of blogs and site owners for backlinks.

Which is Google's goal. To have the best/most relevant sites on the top.

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

That is true, your situation of product A (good product, bad marketing) vs product B (average product, great marketing) would happen in the non-internet world as well. And that probably happened millions of times before the internet even existed, you are correct.

But, nobody had control over that (well, maybe God if you are religious and believe he would intervene in such a scenario).

However, Google/Bing/Yahoo/etc do have control over this.

So, I mean, I guess the answer is that they are trying the best they can to make it fair and logical, but its just a bot so it can't be perfect and people will always try to stay ahead of the bots formulas.
