    What to do with this data? FB custom audiences?

    I haven't run a campaign of my own in years so I'm wondering what you guys think about this or if anybody wants to partner up doing something. So I've got ~1,000 email leads/minute being harvested from LinkedIn, and at a slightly slower rate I'm enriching them with all the data from the...

    Web scraping framework in PHP using jQuery selectors

    https://github.com/dabbamont/domquery This isn't fully tested and isn't well documented *yet*, but I'm using it as a sample for a few companies that are considering me for engineering positions. If you've done any work with scraping or data mining in PHP you'll see how powerful it is. I've...

    Anyone like to beta test a totally new type of ad serving platform?

    I have all the components running, but I need beta testers. It's a bit hard to explain, but what my platform does is combine a few common concepts from the industry with a different approach to deciding which ads to serve. It's not universal, or meant to be universal. It replaces huge data...

    Question for people who use the AdWords content network

    I haven't done PPC in a while, but I remember in my tracking scripts I was able to take the referrer and parse out the actual URL of the page the ad appeared on. Can you still do that? What I'm looking to do is write a script where I can track clicks, cost and earnings from each domain and set...

    Huge data set, better option than a database?

    So let's say I have one table that has 50-100 million entries. Just a text value and a numerical value, no primary key or index. I'm inserting the results of a query into a new table, a GROUP by thing with a COUNT to aggregate and count up all the rows that have the same text value. Is there...

    Am I the only one who goes on posting sprees here?

    I feel like every few week I just get the urge to come on here and reply to every goddamn repetitive thread. Then I hate myself for bumping most of them.

    Market for this on here?

    I hope this is the right place to post. I'm looking for partners or input on a new venture. It's a paid link buying service, but with really great links. What I'm targeting are sites that have good rankings in the target market. The value of a link is based on its serps and the search volume for...

    Creating similar facebook campaigns

    Last thread I read about facebook on here was full of flames. If you wanna flame flame on! This might be a dumb question. I'm assuming that FB's algorithm is more or less aiming to hit a target CPM. What I've been doing is starting at the $0.75 / click level and as CTR gets between .3 and .5%...

    Dominate local google rankings

    Some guy was selling this on blackhatworld, or at least I think he was. I got banned for suggesting that I'd figured it out without buying the product. Anyway, when the local listings come up on google, you can edit any of the urls. GO FUCKING DO IT.

    Nameserver Squatting

    So listen to this. A local forum I post on only had one available DNS server, so a few years ago they started using a friends. Just the other day, the friends domain dropped and got picked up by a speculator. The secondary DNS was still set to the expired domain, which had a nameserver running...

    Brainstorming a new niche?

    Don't know if this is of use to anybody, but it's a heck of alot more useful than what the other sites I've seen have out there. Top 50 tags? YAWN. My Web BETA - Find Everyone's Tags - Yahoo! When you click, it takes you to pages for those tags and you can click through to a tag cloud...

    Creative Commons and commercial licenses

    I'm interested in using an API on a site that will promote an affiliate program. The API I want to use is available under creative commons license but for commercial use, it says I need a commercial license. What exactly is commercial use? I'm not charging for access to the site at all, so am I...
