    301 Redirect Expired Domain for Local Service Company

    Thanks. My concern is that this is kind of unnatural. They are linking to me when all over the news they merged with another company. Eventually I think I will need to get more links directly to the main site than from the expired domain. If anything, the metrics boost may lead more HARO...

    301 Redirect Expired Domain for Local Service Company

    Thanks. I think I lied though it may not be 100%. It's more like they are an orthodontic equipment manufacturing company in NY and I am an orthodontist in CA. Or like they are a lawnmower store and I am a lanscaping company. It is a bit nerve racking but I think I have to try is since my...

    301 Redirect Expired Domain for Local Service Company

    Let's say I am a pediatric-focused orthodontist only in California with DR 4. I bought a domain on auction for a DR 30 orthodontist in New York (which was acquired by another orthodontist in NY, but they let the old domain expire) In other words, the niche is basically the same but the...

    My CPA died and I want to sue him

    My old CPA died and I wish I could sue him for being a complete idiot. I just started doing my taxes with my new CPA and she tells me I have way overpaid the IRS last year in quarterly taxes. I was honestly paying my share on the taxable income I generated in each quarter. The goal was to keep...

    PayPal Tax Question

    Speaking from US experience: PayPal does report your earnings. However, if you spend that balance on business expenses, you can deduct that from your taxable income and pay nothing.

    interest rate half a percent? shove it up your ass

    Savings accounts aren't for saving! They're for emergencies, large upcoming expenses and preparing to invest in something real. Therefore, the rate is actually irrelevant. Part of the reason stocks, bitcoin and everything else performed so well in 2020 is that rock bottom interest rate...

    How Much Is Enough Data? (Google PageSpeed Insights)

    Right, that's a possibility. However, I don't see any reason why the two sites would have a radically different composition of browsers used.

    How Much Is Enough Data? (Google PageSpeed Insights)

    Maybe it's helpful if I add some background into why I care about this. I recently designed a website for a client and he thinks the speed data on Pagespeed, GTMetrix, Pingdom, etc are not real and too good to be true (see screenshot). To be honest, I think he might be right and I'd like to see...

    How Much Is Enough Data? (Google PageSpeed Insights)

    If you've used Google's PageSpeed Insights, you've probably seen: "The Chrome User Experience Report does not have sufficient real-world speed data for this page." I thought it would be a good resource to discuss here: How much is enough "real-world speed data"? What's the highest traffic...

    Want to help my Stepdad Succeed : Construction Company Marketing Tactics?

    This is a good point about partnerships. But my guess is that your uncle had a BBB or some other source that proved he was trustworthy. From what I understand, OP is starting from scratch. This means a website, GMB etc is extremely important for building trust. You are right though, word of...

    Want to help my Stepdad Succeed : Construction Company Marketing Tactics?

    I inherited a company in this niche and then created an agency which specializes in marketing for remodeling/roofing/construction. However, my agency is for more established firms...I would avoid all agencies at this stage. If you are in it for the long run, here are my recommendations for what...
