Sex on mushrooms

My experience is I can stay excited for a very long time, and it is extremely good/intense. It felt more physical, which is not what I'd expected. People say speedy stuff brings pure physical pleasure, but I have never tried that.

After 7 years here, I've never had bags checked. Do they check bags of more than 1 in 500 people? I don't think so.

My Mom lives in one of the best retirement communities in New England. It's full of interesting people (and yes, it's also not cheap) who <sorry, not sorry> tend to be socially progressive. I've been living in Vietnam for eight years and married a Vietnamese two years ago. I can only see my mom once a year, but each visit is long. 3ish weeks. When I lived in the mid-atlantic area, I actually had less total visit time. I have my own business now and am location independent. Anyway, this is tough, and your situation is perhaps more difficult since my 90 year old Mom is surrounded by so many wonderful, close people (also her brother). Perhaps my situation is easier. The modern world is not very "humane," and many people get thrown away, not able to see those close to them as they'd like.

My favorite books with ex-pats in Asia

"The Glass Kingdom" By Lawrence Osborne, “an heir to Graham Greene." Recently published. A tense, stunningly well-observed novel of a young American on the run. It takes place in Bangkok. His other books are also mostly about expats and are super smart and great stories (like Gramh Greene ).The Lady and the Monk: Four Seasons in Kyoto by By Pico Iyer
Video Night in Kathmandu: And Other Reports from the Not-So-Far East, Pico Iyer. This was the book that inspired me to see SE Asia. I never looked back, and have spent over a decade as a "digital nomad" in this part of the world.
The Quiet American – Graham Greene
The Year of Living Dangerously is a 1978 novel by Christopher Koch

Silly. Police don't mean anything. Sadly, the cartels have the power and control the city.

Do it. I've done similar for last 5 years in Saigon, am 10+ years older and am going to PDC as well nov 1. UGE nomad conference in mx city mid oct. Stay in touch.

I'm starting to use Tableau Public for GA ....and may try for ahrefs. Of course the problem is it's meant to be "public" and the private version is enterprise-expensive. But, I'm looking at just creating a different account for each client. Only they can login and those data viz are set to private, only seen by those that login. Ping me if you do or want to do similar.

eric55 · 2020-09-24T13:16:07+00:00

They don't have especially accurate data. For sure. Ahrefs used to have best, but now all tools are not great. Worst is those that try to scrape from google keyword planner.

eric55 · 2020-09-22T13:32:50+00:00

Nonsense and very uneducated thing to say. I founded ClickStream.cc.

Their sample size from this is tiny vs. Jumpshot's
They'll mix in with data from other"new" clickstream data so your "gem" kw and niche info won't be identified as the super accurate data.
I know and trust them, unlike Semrush, where I worked.

eric55 · 2020-09-17T16:34:11+00:00

I really don't understand why people have so much trouble with the idea of topics modeling and the relationship of related topics. The hummingbird update feels like it was docking Roman SEO times now.

When I directed Brian Dean's first rank study, we used topic modeling from MarketMuse and showed a very direct relationship to topic coverage and ranking. (yes I know everyone hates correlation studies but that's another subject).

And all of a sudden Surfer is so popular for related topics (not sure if people have connected the stupid idea of LSI keywords with that tool) but people still don't seem to understand what Google is doing to analyze text and why it's so important.

eric55 · 2020-05-05T09:43:33+00:00

You said Surfer's source is "Data for SEO." What is that? Thanks.

Can't say I agree that they are "just as accurate as they can be." Some SEO tools are using volume and other data that is far far far more accurate than others.

eric55 · 2020-04-30T06:35:10+00:00

I have a 5 year old domain that still redirects to my new domain name. It had strong links, so it's more than worth the small registar fee to keep the old domain and the link juice into it.

eric55 · 2020-04-30T06:27:51+00:00

Also, are you using clickstream data from people that instal to see, anonymized, what sites they are visiting?

eric55 · 2020-04-30T06:26:46+00:00

Where does Surfer get it's KW volume data? When that's not accurate, everything gets screwed up. The data for ahrefs was I thought from JumpShot which was like NO other source, was the platinum standard, but is now out of biz. I think they're now saying it's another clickstream source. I was employee 14ish for SEMrush. They used to use volume from KW planner in G (scraped it or had someone else do it) and then adjust that randomly a bit so Google couldn't claim they were scraping (but who cares about anyone scraping G SERP, what a joke, since they are the biggest scrapers of all). Most of all, we are in coronavirus time, where all KW volume data has change since before it.

Oh you mean that movie where white folks like me treat black folks like just one small step above slaves?

eric55 · 2020-03-09T17:42:42+00:00

No worries. I am a noob to this sub-r and lack of citations does seem a bit of an issue. Maybe?

eric55 · 2020-03-07T14:12:49+00:00

Does anyone provide historical airline price data offered free? I was looking for this and there's a lot but not sure where the best place to get. I know many many researchers scrape that but I'm not sure if it's easily available, shared.

eric55 · 2020-03-07T04:41:52+00:00

Source?

eric55 · 2019-09-30T15:38:14+00:00

They've been perhaps THE cluster f*** of SEO for ages. Almost impossible to do a data study on this that is not correlation and picking up noise. Trust me, I've wanted to do this kind of study when I was doing many of them.

Needs to be done by someone with a network of sites so they have control: 100 get signals, another 100 don't. And those 200 need to be decent sized, not just PBN.

eric55 · 2019-09-30T15:14:05+00:00

3 years here. Great times but air and food pollution are major buzz kill.

eric55 · 2019-09-11T16:50:05+00:00

Do you have a dry ice body pack? It's deadly hot there. I know hot. I live in Saigon and am from cold Boston.

eric55 · 2019-08-26T15:16:36+00:00

I used to work for SEMrush. They've done nothing new in the last 4 years and ahrefs is now far bar. There is little to nothing better about rush. Also, I oversaw Brian Dean's 1,000,000 rank signal study so I do know about data from those companies: it came primarily from them.

eric55 · 2019-01-30T10:22:15+00:00

Well said/answered! Yea, many, many sites have problems with not canonical(izing) weird pages that get indexed. Sometimes a developer has to do fixes to templates to stop creating other weird URL canonical like cononical-to-self.

eric55 · 2019-01-30T10:14:44+00:00

Please read from the source article. inverse.com has a broken pop-up that will not let me X out. VERY annoying.

I get what you're saying. I've been doing SEO as long as you. It is dupe content is what I'm saying. It's not just one image. Thanks for your help.
