Not sure I would agree. At one time (i.e. circa vb3) they were the best but vb5 is horrible and the way they released it with half the features missing and no roadmap was about as bad as things can get if you rely on a piece of software to run your business. It's very obvious they're trying to...

I just bought SickNetwork. Unlike some of the others you mention, Sick is self-hosted. No monthly fees. It's $100 and they're giving 50% off during the beta. It's a little buggy at the moment but they've been fast doing updates so I'm hopeful. For instance, I saw someone post a problem in...

Just curious what logs could be kept if the VPN doesn't keep any. For example, I recently signed up with BTGuard. My torrent client connects directly to BTGuard over an encrypted connection. All my ISP can see is that I connect to BTGuard. If BTGuard doesn't keep any logs and the...

Wanted to give it a try. Ordered.

@cloakndagger2: Thanks, that was sort of what I was getting at.

Appreciate the feedback, FatSteve. Frustrating. Finding a lot of semi-close but not close enough domains :-)

I've seen a lot of great advice on 301'ing a high PR domain to a low PR money site to help boost the PR on the lower PR money site but one of the pieces of advice invariably given is that the two domains should be related. For instance, if you're in the fitness niche the 301'd domain should be...

Yes, some really great feedback.

That's sort of the crossroads I'm facing. Why not just post the job listings on the blog in the first place? :-)

Appreciate the offer but, to be honest, I'm really not looking to invest a lot of money into this. The whole point of having a separate site was I thought that having a targeted website would be easier to rank for job keywords than a blog that had a more diverse range of topics. That's proving...

Appreciate the feedback. The reason I've steered clear of what you're proposing is that that is essentially the situation I'm currently in. The blog gets enough very targeted traffic (most people who read it work in the industry) that I doubt buying traffic would make much of a difference in...

I was hoping I might get some sage advice on something I have been going back and forth on. I have two websites, one is a blog which is more or less an authority site within it's niche and the other is a job/employment website for the same niche. The original idea was I would sell job listings...

I've used Search and Replace WP plugin. Worked okay the few times I've needed it.

My bad, replied in the wrong window.

Exactly. While Google hasn't mastered catching this one *yet* there's no reason why you can't go the extra step and simply clean up the translated article so that it's human readable. I end up having to do that anyway when I purchase content since it often comes with grammatical mistakes that...
