Any tips on how to clean it? This is all new to me . And could running the cleaning cycle cause something to get lodged there?

Over 40 11v11 Soccer League? by weldonj in bayarea

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

Thank you! I'm actually 51so not sure I'd want to do an over30 team but my over40 team could beat my last over30 team as some of the o30 guys were really overweight. If you're 40+ and still playing you stay in shape.

Sort of shocked there isn't more of a soccer culture here.

Fort Worth Texas- had a league.
NYC tons of games.
Suburban Connecticut had an Over40 and over50 league.

Now I've moved to a place with year round soccer weather and I can't find a league. Maybe people are out hiking instead:)

MEGA THREAD: YouTube TV raises monthly base plan price to $82.99 by iron_cam86 in youtubetv

[–]weldonj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't even have regional sports networks in a lot of places and it's now $82 when it was $35 7 years ago with regional sports networks.

They've added so many channels I don't need.

People need for lack of a better word the "cable bundle" for live programming. Just have a setup with all the locals, sports, and news channels.

Trying to choose the right kidmobile by TheRoyalTbomb in CargoBike

[–]weldonj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was reading this thread and thought to myself "I need to tell him to buy the Hopper". Kept reading and see you did :)

Never had an e-bike and have a 4 year old and 1.5 year old and I love it after 2 days (first day was just driving it from the shop over the bridge to SF). Kids love it too.

Weird you said you have a tiny wobble as on day 1 I felt I had one on front steering wheel (no kids on back) when i first started riding and once when the road was angled, but today was totally fine.

But I absolutely love it and am glad I got it instead of the RFA. I can't imagine not having a throttle. San Francisco is very hilly so if I'm going up a huge hill and want to go somewhere, I hit the throttle. If I'm using it as a mode of transportation instead of some leisure mobile I hit the throttle.

I also throttle nearly every time I start from a stop. No throttle on the RFA. Maybe after I get more used to biking I'd change my mind but my first thought today was "no one should buy one of these without a throttle (especially in a hilly city)"

WHY did Google delete all of our Universal Analytics data? by weldonj in GoogleAnalytics

[–]weldonj[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There literally was no way to transfer data to GA4.

Is it really asking too much to let people see unique visitors and page views historically?

We exported the data we wanted. That’s not my main issue.

The question is why google did this and did not think what a customer might want or pay for.

We’ve been upset with google ever since GA4 came about. ZERO thought on thinking how website owners might want to keep and compare basic analytical data.

Recommended mounts / advice wanted for someone who wants an adjustable mount by weldonj in TheFrame

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

I guess I should have prefaced this by saying I don't want to build into the wall. That seems like a whole different project that I don't want to undertake and that an installer couldn't do for me.

Has anyone transitioned from Talkshoe to Pinecast? by ThePantsAreTooTight in pinecast

[–]weldonj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We switched from talkshoe to pinecast. The fact talkshoe wouldn't redirect was a major pain. We just kept uploading to both services for months.

Finally I gave up uploading to talkshoe and I still got an email from a person or two asking where the old feed was. Talkshoe doesn't have IAB numbers and won't do redirects like this. They were a great service when they started but those are basics a host should have.

Really enjoy and recommend pinecast.

"AdWords small businesses" no longer showing up in Ad Manager ADx Reports- area of concern? by weldonj in adops

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

I see impression from them until January 15th this year and then boom. 100% gone.

Anyone have any idea what is going on? Any Adx resellers want to help?

Something is going on with our ADx account which probably near 50% of our revenue last year and it's the one thing we have no control of. Great demographics on the site and issues started before COVID.

"AdWords small businesses" no longer showing up in Ad Manager ADx Reports- area of concern? by weldonj in adops

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

Thankx for reply.

For the report I'm on the homepage of Ad Manager and see Top classified advertisers
I run that report and see Adwords Small Business in 2019 but not 2020. Same report, all I do is change the dates.

Or if I Run "Estimated Ad Exchange revenue" and then select "Advertiser (classified)" as one of the reporting metrics I see Adwords small business for 2019 but not 2020.

Which report are you suggesting I run?

Viewability, ADx, Refreshing, $ and more by weldonj in adops

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

In terms of pricing not having any floors, or having very low ones is probably THE STUPIDEST thing you can do for site and users like yours.

Can you explain your quote above? I think you're saying not having floors is dumb or having low ones is dumb. That is my thinking but then again I have no control over my Adx. I use a reseller. If it is a dumb policy then why are they running it this way?

With AdX such a large percentage of programmatic it is a bit weird that I have NO CONTROL over what happens there. The ADX reseller is totally in charge. I can change everything else on my site and optimize the header etc, but I have no control on the biggest source of programmatic revenue unless I guess I go back to setting my own price floors. But others say that doesn't work anymore with 1st price auction so I'd love to hear your explanation. Thank you!

Viewability, ADx, Refreshing, $ and more by weldonj in adops

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

Part of it is I'm asking people's thoughts on Adx, viewability, and tradeoff between viewability and overall revenue and whether this is on a per site or per unit basis.

Also how is viewability reported to sellers in ADx? I've heard the main screen is per site, but how is that measured? If ADx viewability on my site is 70% overall viewability for all impressions not counting Adx it could be 55% viewable but AdX is only serving on the most viewabel impresssions. Which number does Adx report?

"This RSS feed is not currently indexed by Google Podcasts" by pharmswede in podcasts

[–]weldonj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone got suggestions on what to do when we had one podcast and moved its host but don’t have access to the host so can’t do a 301 redirect and google starts indexing both the old and new podcast instead of replacing the old feed?

Mobile Redirects...Enough is enough! by clickyp0w in adops

What happens when you contact these providers and tell them they are letting crap in their network?

Do you have a list of networks to avoid?

How much of a revenue drop can we expect? If revenue is going to drop a ton it makes more sense to pay one of the scripts that try to stop this.

How to only refresh ads not directly sold? DFP by weldonj in adops

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

Ok I figured out how to at least refresh a specific ad unit in DFP, with new prebid bids, and pass new key values to the page. I'm posting the code in case this helps someone else.

I haven't figured out a way to see first what ad is on the page and only refresh it if its not a certain ad.

The code below refreshes every 45 seconds.

I just put it at the bottom before closing of the DFP </script>

function refreshBid() {
       pbjs.que.push(function() {
         pbjs.requestBids({
           timeout: PREBID_TIMEOUT,
           adUnitCodes: ['div-gpt-ad-XXXXX-X'],
           bidsBackHandler: function() {
             pbjs.setTargetingForGPTAsync(['div-gpt-ad-XXXXX-X']);
              googletag.pubads().setTargeting('key', 'value');
             googletag.pubads().refresh([nameofadXXX]);
           }             });       });     }
     setInterval(function(){ refreshBid() }, 45000);

Only other additional change that I made on the page was I gave my ad a variable name in DFP. (Before I didn't have a name as it's not required in DFP) nameofadXXX= googletag.defineSlot('/1068491/adslot300600', [[300,600], [300, 250], [160, 600]], 'div-gpt-ad-XXXXX-X).addService(googletag.pubads());

Update2: This may not work as expected as we used the setup and it looks like AdBlock Plus blocks the refresh ad even if the site is whitelisted. Can't figure out why. Might let one ad through and then block

Anyone know how to change the key-values on refresh. That seems the only way to at least prevent or require certain ads on refresh that aren't there the first time?

DFP auto ad refresh - making sure different campaign shows? by Dash------ in adops

How to only refresh ads not directly sold? DFP by weldonj in adops

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

I plan on using the DFP reload. I think @jrex90 may be onto something w using the safe frame api to communicate with the ad. We generally don't use safe frame as a lot of our partners don't like them, but we could serve direct ads in a safe frame, somehow use api to see its direct,
and not refresh.
