    Fiverr stock falls to $22 from $323

    And it seems like they aren't open to fixing product bugs or expanding categories. Their only plan for fixing the finances is more fees, which I can't see turning the company around. Thoughts?

    Your business should have a website

    If you're trying to run a business, especially one you can build, scale and sell, you should have a website. It's insane to me... there's some very advanced marketing topics discussed here, and then there's people who don't grasp the importance of having a website.

    Namecheap is $17/year for .com renewals?

    I feel like it was just a couple years ago that it was $10/yr. CloudFlare is $9/year. Dynadot is $10/year. I've got enough domains it's probably worth spending some time this week transferring out of NameCheap. Who are you guys using?

    Anyone ever had their site falsely blocked by Chrome from a false Netcraft report?

    Netcraft basically can send automated reports to Google and have your site blocked in Chrome. First time I've experienced. I just have a SAAS product, hosted in WordPress. No security issues or anything. I'm pulling paid ads in the meantime. Pretty annoying. Not sure why Google gives such...

    Anyone else find Facebook ad manager has so many bugs anymore?

    Facebook ad manager is so delicate. One misclick and your campaign is not salvageable. It's like this for most my accounts, ranging from $5/day in spend to $10,000/day in spend. So frustrating. I spend almost every day in Ad manager and it just gets worse over time. Today's error: Something...

    GPT-5

    Initial thoughts? My pro account just started to show it. Plus account is still not showing it. I wish it had improved image generation as I feel that's the major fault right now. Lots of decent text models out there already. I

    Just noticed my personal Reddit got banned and several others in the chat groups the same. 8 years old, 40k karma, no major changes or anything. Anyone noticing a bunch of bans this afternoon? Like ~3 hours ago.

    xxxsmmpanel is probably a scam

    Tried out this panel today. It had some interesting offerings I found when comparing a few thousand panels. Support is not replying and orders automatically cancel. Crypto only - go figure. I'm not out much money but maybe I can save someone else who is thinking about trying them. This thread...

    Looking for alternative to SmartProxy/Decodo

    Looks like prices for APIs range up to $15. I have another project using SmartProxy but I've caught them overbilling so I'm hesitant to build with them again, but I see most competitors are still more than $1.25 per 1k requests. Is SmartProxy/Decodo the cheapest JS-rending scraping API?

    Anyone ever started a comment pod?

    All the big accounts are using them. No one likes to talk about them, or if they do, they say negative things while continuing to use them. Anyone here part of any big comment pods?

    How do spammers on Upwork find my personal WhatsApp phone number after I post a job?

    It never fails. I'll post a job on Upwork, and I get hit up my 3rd worlders on my personal cell phone WhatsApp moments after. I don't see my personal info anywhere on my job posting. Any ideas?

    Anyone else find it wrong for proxy providers to rotate your proxies on you?

    I have half a dozen proxy providers, one of them is "Oculus Proxies" They are static but every 1-2 months they rotate the IP addresses which totally defeats the purpose of static proxies. Has happened several times to me. Sometimes their support is even unaware of the proxy lists changing. This...

    SEO Audit

    I need someone with some time to prepare an audit for a website. Looking for manual audit, not automated. They need to carve out a few hours to really dive into the site and prepare a PDF document. I completely forgot who I used to use for this service and cant find one in the BST section.

    Avoiding bans: keeping constantly screen resolution across Windows Server sessions

    I have multi detect browsers and a team that uses my VPSs to connect to the browsers to avoid changing OS versions. Ban rate is far lower on my social accounts. However, the problem is that screen resolution can change if any team members doesnt configure it properly. Like if they forget. I...

    If you're getting banned in AdsPower, try this

    By default, AdsPower and many other anti detect browsers are set to reopen tabs. I warm cookies before nearly every session before going to my target site. Be sure to disable this setting on all your profiles. Start each session blank, warm up, and then proceed. It'll help with the bans. I...
