I just want to rant for a second.

I’m working on a project that is currently built on two platforms; WordPress and symfony2 with a planned API written in ruby.

Why three different platforms and two different languages is beyond me but here is some background.

My boss insists that the blog is in WordPress because it’s going to help with SEO. He’s been name dropping Matt Cutts and quoting him as gospel for all things SEO. So I created a blog for him with a great looking about us page and a great layout for the blog.

So one of my sites got hacked, how do I fix it?

An old WP site that I kind of forgot about, I just did a site: search for it in Google and all the results were talking about Cialis.

When I view the site it looks just fine, but if I do a view source there is some

<!–start-add-div-content–> <p class ="nemonn"> bullshit in there and a bunch of Cialis links.

It doesn’t actually show up on the site, but it’s there in a view source, and obviously Google is seeing it since that’s all it shows in the SERPs now.

What’s a good social media comment plugin for wordpress?

Something like this:

Maybe minimal and simpler

It seems one of the standard these days is

There is another one that doesn’t even require you to log in. It just sees you as being logged into your facebook account on the browser and inserts the box at the bottom should you wish to comment. I can link to a specific blog that does it, but i’d rather not do it while i’m here at work.

It’s one of these, I used it a while back

Creating a local affiliate offer for a business? Possible?

For one of my businesses I need leads. We have our own websites etc and they are all performing decently (I’m sure there is some room for improvement though).

I was thinking to myself, instead of me trying to figure out all the latest SEO/Social Media/PPC techniques, it might be easier to have other people do the work and I pay for the lead. Is there any Affiliate network that I could setup with that it would only cater to customers from my province (Ontario, Canada)?

Does this 2FA Method for accessing SSH/FTP/ADMIN URLS on your domain make sense?

Dedicated IP VPN that you can login to from any comp.
before you get assigned IP after login VPN you have to go through 2FA via web browser (redirects * traffic to that 2FA screen before granting you access to network / IP that you can use to login ssh/ftp/url htaccess)

this way your actual site cannot be accessed without passing through 2FA first.

sounds like a good idea or horrible?

Woah… Idea time.

Using a paid VPN for restricted IP FTP/Admin Access..

what would you do if you owned broncos.com ?

and didn’t want the name taken away but wanted to make money off of it? I was thinking data feed site from shareasale of denver broncos stuff.

(Similar)

Only legit way I can see doing it.. ie. Trademarked by the NFL similar to the Nissan website lawsuit. You’ll have to show a clear indication you’re not infringing on their brand. So talk about the animal, history, etc. Really depends though, if I owned that I would contact the NFL and Broncos and work out a agreement which allowed me to operate a fan site given it’s a positive one.. Then sell products and NFL tickets off it. Best to try to work with them first, because I would hate to build up a site then lose it for a domain that valuable.. Would also call Kelly law and see what they think first, lol.

Basic problem inserting image into div tag

So I’ve set my css stylesheet and set-up my page with a set dimension.
The problem comes when I insert an image that is the same size of a div. Instead of forming around it, it goes out of the borders.
Is there a way to make the image fit the exact size of the div?

Damn, all it accomplished is to move all my other shit around

FUCK WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THIS WHITE SPACE THAT KEEPS POPPING UP FROM ANYWHERE

Adsense revenue share

Google never used to share these number no? I remember people always speculating what they were doing

For displaying ads with AdSense for Content, publishers receive 68% of the amount Google collects from advertisers. For AdSense for search, publishers receive 51% of the amount collected from advertisers. These percentages are consistent, regardless of a publisher’s geographic location, and are not in any way averaged between publishers. We don’t disclose the revenue share for other AdSense products; the revenue share varies for other products due to different costs of developing and supporting these products.
