    Is content locking almost dead?

    Rarely do we see new advertisers. Outside the US, the ones we do see are usually promoting email/form submits that scrub a whole lot more, shady cc submits and pin submits that convert poorly because of the country and subscription prices. The US seems to have the same advertisers, just...

    Facebook android app and shared link thumbnails

    I noticed a decent drop in traffic for the past few weeks. Turns out, the android app has been badly cropping link thumbnails, shared before and after one of the previous app updates. Not all thumbnail images were affected, but quite a few for me were. I found this...

    Facebook Click-Gap

    https://www.wired.com/story/facebook-click-gap-news-feed-changes/ Don't see any talk about this. This looks like it will affect more than fake news, but legit content too. Thoughts? The update rolled out several days ago, but I haven't seen a noticeable change in traffic.

    Push Notifications and Facebook in-app browser

    Searched and can't find any discussion on this. What's the deal? I'm pretty sure other browsers show push notifications but Facebook does not.

    Ranking for large, one time events like the Super Bowl

    This past Sunday, I searched google for a super bowl live stream out of curiosity. Media/news sites filled the first few pages. I think there was one site, with no ads on the 3rd page and a couple spammy "parasites" after. I find this weird because there is usually HUGE money to be made with...

    Facebook broke their inapp browser, again

    Links that open in a new window, do not open at all. Noticed this after the app updated today. This has happened before: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/ogads-problem.923033/#post-9837487

    Facebook app and sharing (different languages)

    I've noticed a decrease in shares from countries whose first language is not English. I've also noticed Facebook apparently changed the way content is shared by websites opened in their in-app browser. It would work like this: press a share button and publish on the next screen, content is then...

    Monetizing clickbait traffic

    Popunders are no good because of the Facebook inapp browser not having tabs. Visitors leaving because they can't get back to the content wouldn't look good and would probably kill the link's reach. Native Subscriptions from propeller and similar networks? They seem to be blocked by the Facebook...

    Share locker and the Facebook inapp browser

    I'm testing a share lock (similar to OnePress Social Locker) on a site that gets decent facebook mobile traffic. Interesting find. Desktop users are sharing without a problem but mobile users, specifically those that open the site in the inapp browser seem to be having trouble. I'm tracking the...

    Latest GSA tutorials

    I've had GSA and the captcha breaker for awhile now. Never used either, preferred manual (hey, it seems to work better) but now want to scale up quite a bit. Are there any sites out there that offer tutorials, paid or free with updated info? Searched the forums but everything seems to be old...

    Video clickbait finally dead?

    https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2017/08/news-feed-fyi-taking-action-against-video-clickbait/ They announced this way back in August! Seems to have finally be happening. Just wondering why it took them this long? I continued to post links with images that had the standard play button up until...

    FYI: Facebook doesn't like content lockers

    EDIT: Content lockers from networks using the same old domains (at least I'm assuming), like domain.com/locker.js - Gotta run a few more tests. Several different domains hosted on seperate servers with different content. All banned same day. Doesn't affect me though as none were getting much...

    Future of Facebook

    Thoughts after watching Mark Zuckerberg yesterday? The US goverment is really starting to get involved and if he doesn't make the changes they're demanding and stop using the "We made a mistake" excuse, who knows what will happen. This is also more than just election and politics. I'm talking...

    Best time to post links

    Pictures and videos get normal reach during the day, but posts with links reach little. Reach is fine if the links are posted at night, usually after 10 PM. Started a few months ago for me. Anyone else having this issue?

    .com for links or does it even matter?

    Has anyone tested this out? I've done a few small tests and the results are mixed. Overall, do .coms get more reach than others like .us and the ones that are not blocked automatically (.xyz)?

    Live Stream and Watch TV niche

    Interesting find over the past few weeks. Both of these niches did amazing a few years ago, thought I would give them another try but with a twist, instead of the usual spam membership ads or content lockers. One thing I noticed? Google wouldn't rank either. They indexed but were nowhere to be...

    Ranking for big one day events

    Lately I haven't seen many sites targeting these keywords or they completely disappear from the SERPS the day of the event. I'm talking about huge events like the Super Bowl. Certain keywords bring in huge traffic, before, after and during these once a year events. Churn and burn does still...

    Facebook ghosting domains from news feed?

    Around 2 months ago, my traffic slowing dropped over the week. I lost around 75% - A few days ago, the domain was blocked for being against community standards (all pages)... Pressed the not spam button on the news feed and surprisingly, it was reviewed and cleared within a few minutes (message...

    Facebook inapp browser - Mark link as suspicious

    "Automatically send Facebook details of your visit to this website, including a screenshot". Does the app itself take a screenshot of what the visitor is seeing, instead of facebook crawling the page and returning what they find back to the reviewer (assuming it gets reviewed)?

    Facebook crawler / bot fake user agent?

    One of my holiday "quiz" viral type of sites went viral over the past week. I noticed google analytics real time showed a decent amount of US visitors with "not set" under city so I started going through my logs: 66.220.x.x (among other well known facebook ips) referring URL: m. facebook. com...
