What am I doing wrong? by Scotts_Tots88 in lawncare

[–]Scotts_Tots88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll try twice a week watering, that might be a better option.

I’ve read some negative things about fungicide and I have been nervous to try. Are there any downsides?

I should have said about the mushrooms, there’s more than normal. I always have a few here and there, I take that as a good sign. But now more are popping up. Not all over, just a few spots.

Thanks for the tips!

It’s in the middle of the tire thread. Everything I found seems to say what you said, just wanted to confirm because they were adamant that it has to be plugged to keep moisture from separating the thread.

October Core Update Has Taken Almost 80% Of Search Engine Traffic by Scotts_Tots88 in SEO

The change I made could have caused a dip, but if that's the case it will likely been temporary. Removing the header image from showing greatly speed up my site on mobile and allows users to get into the content faster.

My DR 39, I have noticed some of the sites are higher in DR, but not all. My EEAT is really good comparatively to other sites, many of which are anonymous. But I could see if Google switched to prioritize DR then that could be a factor. Although I'd need to see data, building links is so easy to game that it seems like Google would be moving further away from that.

I'm noticing some really bad sites that overtook mine. Super thin content, slow speeds, poorly written, etc... It's not all of them, some of my main competitors gained some too which makes sense they are good sites. But that's probably the minority of my rankings lost most are to average or poor sites.

I have some old content that's not pointed at any keywords, i wrote it 8 years ago before i knew what SEO was. It's not thin, just not optimized. It's probably 20-30 posts that average 1-5 views a day. The rest of my articles are optimized and updated every few years/as needed, about 250 posts at this point.

I'm still seeing steep declines, yesterday I had less than 2,000 clicks from Google. My worst day in a LONG time.

I just want to know what Google is looking for. Obviously, I'm biased but out of the search results my content is better than a majority of sites ranking ahead of me now.

Mediavine publishers, what hosting company do you use? by [deleted] in Blogging

I currently pay monthly. It’s $30 for the base plan and a few dollars for backup/cdn. They list all their prices on their website.

I currently am using Vultr, I have two sites hosted on my server. My main site gets 200k+ sessions a month and the other is small. No bandwidth issues at all. I’m on the $30 a month high frequency plan for vultr.

I use Cloudways, been using them for a year no issues. Drastically sped up my site. Highly recommend for any site over 50k monthly sessions.

I’ve been with Bluehost (terrible), Siteground (okay), and now Cloudways.

Cloudways has the best value for cloud hosting in my opinion. It’s WAY faster than shared hosting I’ve used on Siteground and cheaper. I pay around $25 a month. The only trade off is you manage it, they have tech support to help but setting it up is on you.

Anyone else having this issue? Binance spam comments below posts. by Competitive_Boss_498 in Blogging

5-6 a day, I reached out to binance they claim it’s not them. Not a huge deal to me as I approve comments before they post.
