I have a huge csv of data(product import list from a supplier) that I need to work some data magic on and I decided to tackle the problem with VBA in Excel, since doing it in any other way would be a pain in the ass and possibly take too long. I've never worked with VBA, but so far it seems...

I just looked at the difference between the two.... I guess I'll be doing a sweepstakes. Now, what is it that I have to pay attention to?

Hey everyone, Launching a new site soon and I was hoping to start out with a giveaway of a product related to the site. We'll be giving away tickets to an event, fairly costly tickets at that. I've never done a giveaway before, especially not one of this magnitude (we're expecting plenty...

I'm a computer tech (so pretty much as "computer geek"y as they come) Several recommendations: 1. Don't get an SSD right now, the tech is too new and there are issues with most of the SSDs on the market. 2. You don't need that much RAM.... especially not with the things you said you do...

I've been in SEO for a while now and have some good ranking sites and keywords, but only recently have I started frequenting these forums. One thing I've seen thrown around a lot here is the term "web 2.0s". I know what web 2.0 is when referring to websites as something that describes their...

Awesome! Good luck to all

Sorry, that statement wasn't directed at you. I was just speaking to those reading the thread getting the idea of possibly sabotaging their competition with tactics like this.

Had no idea subscriptions weren't transferable, good to know! Is there a specific reason for this that you know of? Or is it just some sort of Paypal technical limitation?

Karma's a *****, tanking a competitor might help you in the short run, but it's a vicious cycle. Just don't do it. Also, I sure as heck hope you're wrong about "unnatural" links being detrimental to ranking. I always figured Google was smarter than that, there's just no way they can kill your...

So far so good on my end. No movement at all on my two sites. I've made an effort not to "over optimize" my pages over the years. Honestly, I'm surprised that hasn't been a negative in the past.....

: / I was giving it a shot too, halfway through it I remembered that meta tags are only interpreted in the header anyway. Although with some clever data entry I was able to get the meta tag to show up on every page, just not in the header. Guess it was to no avail, considering bitablegravy's...

(had to edit your quote since it won't let me post urls yet. Thanks but I don't have access to the files on the server (they are hosting it and don't allow ftp access, or any access actually, to the files), and thus can't edit the htaccess file

Agreed Fathom, they're being ignorant about it. It's a shame too, because I could have made us both a good chunk of cash too : / I'd move on, but I still think it's a good niche and they're a solid supplier. grav6: Guess I'll just have to hit the grindstone and get my own store sooner.

Thanks for the tip, but the issue isn't that I'm trying to hide the fact that I'm working with an affiliate to provide the products/website, but that the affiliate is forcing me to use a specific robots.txt (they are hosting the online store). I also don't have the ability to edit much page...

Not sure if this was the best place to post this, but I couldn't find a more fitting section since it's a blackhat technique that I'm looking for. First some background: Found an online store that was offering an attractive affiliate program, the program had good margins and was a space that I...
