Hey, I'm looking for an email server running Interspire and Powermta, plus hosting. Is this something you'd be interested in? I need 24/7 customer support. Current server is in Karachi, been down for two weeks, no one answering questions or fixing/replacing it. I'm building out an authority...

Is the number of visitors staying pretty steady or is that bouncing around too? If you don't mind, what's the range of bouncing for the CTR?

Hey, GoldenDragon, I like the way you think and act. I'm working up an action plan right now, and have written it up here, it's called Big Site Journey. My approach is a bit different than yours, but based on CB and email traffic like yours. Love to get your thoughts on my plan, and would be...

I'm moving to another state this week, so updates will be sparse...by the way, I'm not selling anything here, either directly or indirectly. Just trying to share my approach and give back a bit. My plan is to base the site on three perennial interests: relationships, money and health. I have...

OP, do you think the drop in adsense CPC could be due to FB being your only source of traffic? I know this has been asked and answered, but it seems like it could be a factor. If not that, and I'm not saying it is -- just asking the question, and if it isn't smart-pricing then what could it be...

Hey, I'm in OR too. So, there's some issues to be aware of, one being that sending from one domain promoting another domain has to be done correctly or it can get you flagged. Free offers are spam triggers also. There's a long list of things that can trip the spam flags, actually. I'm using a...

"I'd suggest getting a custom coded software suite so you can easily avoid getting detected by spam mechanisms." Can you tell us a bit more about this?

Hey, This is the first thread I read here, and my first post. Thanks to the OP and the other experts who shared knowledge and advice here. First, I apologize if it sounds like I'm bragging. That's not my intention. I've been in direct marketing for 30 years, 95% of that in direct mail. I've...
