Have you noticed that the shadowbanning of Independent Publishers is heaviest during the time of year when ad rates are the highest? Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

We have been made aware that the Advanced Custom Fields plugin on the WordPress directory has been taken over by WordPress dot org. A plugin under active development has never been unilaterally and forcibly taken away from its creator without consent in the 21 year history of WordPress.

PROUD HUSBAND POST! Yesterday @VickySimmance pulled off a blinder of an event. Completely organised by her, from start to finish. Ran per the plan with over 100 people being entertained, fed and watered. Epic job done. Big thanks to @thetafferboy, Becky Simms, @Rach_Marshallx, @HathawayP and @CrystalontheWeb for joining us on stage.

As someone who has run dozens of business websites on WordPress over the past 15 years, never once had it occurred to me the risk that @photomatt could disrupt that experience—on a whim—because of a personal beef with my hosting company ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Heads up. @Zendesk is a scam organization, and you should avoid them at all costs. I need to cancel our plan, but there is no way I can do it myself. They force you to contact support. That feels illegal... but ok, I used their chat on April 30th which was a total nightmare to navigate and eventually got to the point where they were going to get a human on the case to help me cancel. Seven days later, on April 6th, I received a response from an agent that did NOT grant my request to cancel but instead says, "To better assist you with this, may I kindly ask for your reasons behind this decision?" Ugh. I explain that we have switched to another product. No reply. May 30th, my recurring billing kicks in again for $358. I reply and complain that I was trying to cancel but they didn't get back to me. NO ONE REPLIES TO ME. My renewal is coming up again, and I still haven't been able to get off this software. I should be compensated for so much time wasting. Can this be brought to the FTC? Anyway, don't use Zendesk.

Many years ago, I used to work in the highly competitive world of UK Holiday Parks. I used to know EXACTLY what offers were going live on my competitors site, before they went public. This meant I could adjust MY messaging and offers to compete. Guess How?

Understanding your sites Organic click-depth is an important metric. 📲 In the example below, 30% of this clients traffic is from #4-10, and 4-5% traffic is from Page two. ⚖ Its often easier to move the needle to Pg1 from Pg 2.
Local SEO results (map listings) in the Payday Loans niche are full of fake addresses driving traffic to a handful of sites in the U.K. Both those results are different addresses but same website. In the region I tested there are 18 linked addresses to this website with local.
