Why do I like to screencast on YouTube? (I make videos and share them with people on YouTube)
Two main reasons:
Sometimes, there’s a third reason, also – I can make a video and, later on, reuse it.
John Mueller: The one thing that I notice in talking with the mobile indexing folks is that when the e-commerce category pages don’t have any other content at all other than links to the products then it’s really hard for us to rank those pages. So I’m not saying all of that text at the bottom of your page is bad but maybe 90%, 95% of that text is unnecessary but some amount of text is useful to have on a page so that we can understand what this page is about. And at that point you are probably with the amount of text that a user will probably be able to read as well, be able to understand as well. So that’s kind of where I would head in that regard.

Naval:
You’re doing sales because you failed at marketing.
You’re doing marketing because you failed at product.
It’s important to separate product from marketing and understand that products benefit marketing, and marketing benefits sales.
This is such an important step.
“Google has stopped supporting the rel=next/prev markup it launched back in 2011. The interesting part is, Google has not supported it for the past few years and didn’t tell anyone!”
Google hasn’t supported rel=next/prev for a while (thanks for telling us)
Imagine companies putting effort into implementing rel=next/prev, and Google ignoring this for years.
They apologized for this behavior (Google apologizes for rel=next/prev mixup), but, still, it’s not a pleasant thing to do.
I know people losing domain names for not extending the registration on time.
I also know people losing the hosting of their websites.
Some tips:
Regarding organizing a contest for likes on Facebook: this is a very bad idea, in my opinion.
Seth Godin: And so, the money you spend on customer service isn’t simply free. It actually repays you many times over. (via »)
I think customer service is overlooked.
Why does it matter, mostly?
Acquiring a new customer is five times as expensive as retaining an existing customer.
44% of companies admit they, “have a greater focus” on acquisition, while 18% focus on retention (the rest claim to have an equal focus).(Acquisition vs Retention: The Importance of Customer Lifetime Value)
Know you know. :)
As I see it, the best way to do link building is to be outgoing.
Do things.
Take part in events, launch things.
Podcast, do travel guides, take interviews, organize events, sponsor things.
Goodfellas (1990): I knew everybody and everybody knew me. I was part of something. And I belonged. (via »)
I liked this solution:
For removing an action hook you should use the same action name, callback name and the priority that was used to add a action in parent theme. And register it on init
add_action( ‘init’, ‘remove_my_action’);
function remove_my_action() {
remove_action( ‘woocommerce_before_shop_loop’,’storefront_sorting_wrapper’,9 );
}
So, if you need to remove a specific action on WordPress, that’s how you do it.
Related videos, as far as I know, are a big part of YouTube’s success.
Having a huge library of videos is fine, but there’s always the question – “What to watch next?”.
YouTube algorithm might be a huge accomplishment, but sometimes a viewer wants to watch specific things.
This is why I like the option of filtering results by type.
If I watch a video: Smile (1992 Digital Remaster) – YouTube, YouTube will ask me – would you like to view this or that kind of video?
It looks simple – ask people what they want and just offer them those things.
In practice, though, not that many websites do.
