    It's pieces like these that remind me why good writing skills are important, and one shouldn't stray from the basics unless they're fully aware of the trade-offs. For this article,…

    Over the long-term, Google's algorithm will connect the average person to the page most likely to benefit them, more than it won't. There is no "best result." Any page falling unde…

    This is very much misguided. Many websites do have "hacked" (blackhat/shady) SEO, but these websites do not last long, and are entirely wiped out (see: de-ranked) every major algor…

    You wrote a very poorly structured, punctuation-less, run-on sentence in the GP comment. You did so again here. In both instances it is unclear what you're trying to convey. Couple…

    Would it be correct to say your brother is also not the type to network with others easily? An automated system is the last-line in hiring; recommendations -- internal and external…

    Curious, what areas did you find most inciting?

    You got me there. My connotation of armchair psychology is more informal and doesn't match the more rigorous, APA definition. I'll make one note: the psychological profile I wrote …

    The above was from personal experience and observation from having been a part of many online communities -- pre-dating reddit -- in all ways including: here-and-there member, firs…

    Ranking individual pages is vitally important in the website traffic game. Suppose Mozilla's goal for its blog is to generate a lot of organic traffic so that people are aware of M…

    Google crawlers treat the first few paragraphs as an abstract, and weigh it heavier than the sections that follow after. The balance between SEO and readability has already been st…

    Hating the game vs. hating the player. We all have to do things in our own self-interest, especially when there are higher powers bearing down upon us. They're not off the hook, bu…

    Is it entitled? Most would agree, "very" (but that's not my concern nor judgement to make) Did the maintainer screw over people that were using Actix? Very likely. I sympathize wit…

    Chromium still has Google endpoints. Iridium was developed specifically to degoogle all attempts at phoning home.
