Always add. Never subtract. (An expensive lesson)
I've been in the development game since the early part of the decade. When I first got started, I used a 1.0 release of a CMS along with a template I tweaked for my own use. I used the same CMS/template on three different sites; all of which were identical in name and content except that each one referred to a different U.S. state.

After I added the content/images, I left them alone. Each of these sites went straight to the top of every major search engine and remained there for almost a decade.

Every now and then I would add more pages/content/images. I would never remove old content - that is, until a couple of weeks ago.

About two weeks ago, I decided to make some very minor changes to the front page of each site. I removed a couple of words and removed/renamed some images. I purposely didn't update the template or the CMS, so that it wouldn't effect my search engine ranking. Unfortunately, it didn't matter.

The next day I was knocked off the front page of the search engines. I waited a while to see if the sites would settle back into their spots, but I don't think it's going to happen.

A couple of things I noticed...
The more aggressive the competitors, the more damage to page rank. Competitors have always tried to copy my domain name in their content text/meta/key words, etc. Once I made the changes to my sites, these competitors were quickly ranked in my position. One of my sites had very little aggressive competition and it has recovered pretty well.

Also, I've changed images before, but usually just change the image and keep the file name the same. This time I didn't, for what ever reason, and it ruined a very profitable business.

I figured I'd mention this to all it might pertain. Be careful! You may add content, but you should never subtract from it or the consequences could be dire.

Uncommon Financial Advice For The Digital Marketer
http://leanvertising.com/uncommon-financial-advice-for-the-digital-marketer/451
A topic not covered much in digital marketing for freelancers, affiliates, consultants, contractors and first time business owners is money.

This post is mainly for digital marketers that are making the leap into their own business for the first time, or those that are beginning affiliates.

I know many will read this and disagree with my advice, but I feel that the lessons I learned from running my own business has taught me some very valuable financial advice that only comes from first hand experience.

MUMBLE - La sicurezza di Android - 2
http://www.matteocavallini.com/2011/01/mumble-la-sicurezza-di-android-2.html

Giusto per riassumere, la situazione del versioning di Android è la seguente...

We're going to release the first version of our app and wanted to get some feedback as to how long you test internally, how long you allow a larger testflight group to test, and then how long until you push a new version to the app store. How do you test new versions of your app and how do you use testflight in the process?

Liquid Go is like Go except your stones are a liquid and there's no turns.

Somebody had to do this. Let's actively avoid the delusional masses
Since you are reading this you probably know what I’m getting at. People who are grounded in reality ( according to my definition of course) are rare and may often be lost among the sea of the deluded masses. So this post of mine is an attempt to gather people who are like-minded.( people who I deem to be grounded in reality through my own colored lens of the world). The idea is to form mutually beneficial alliances in this insane world. Right now this process of forming alliances is somewhat unplanned and subject to chance events(you meet/know someone reasonable at school, work etc.). I'm hoping to cast the net wide by leveraging the internet. As to what exactly should the alliance be, or what it hopes to achieve is something to be discussed (though I have some concrete preliminary thoughts).

How to start: Email me your core beliefs ( though I personally prefer a voice chat with on Skype, google hangouts etc.), especially the beliefs where you think you differ fundamentally from the vast majority of people. I will quiz you on various subjects ( and so can you) to see if our beliefs align. Overall my beliefs can be loosely labeled as: generally anarchist (i.e a live and let live approach), generally anti-authoritarian ( meaning I believe govt/authorities do not protect your interests), largely capitalist( i.e vehemently opposed to coercive co-operation, put forth by typical socialism) etc. Perhaps at the bare minimum we have to share a meta belief that it is necessary to reach out and cooperate with other like minded individuals as it is virtually impossible to 'de-delude' the idiotic masses though arguments/dialogs etc. My email address can be found on my profile. In my profile you will also find a link to some webpages that outline my beliefs.

After this step, if we think our beliefs align, I will add you to an an online forum ( zero people as of now) , where you can interact with other people that I will be screening.

Caveats:

-It often takes a very long time ( months to years) to form mutually beneficial alliances. ( more so when individuals are geographically isolated from each other.) Perseverance and patience will be very important.

-The online forum is not to rant against the world, or a place to discuss your core beliefs. ( I would think forums for that already exist). This is more of a place for doers.

Side note: It’s really hard to for me to believe that someone else is not doing this ( i.e what I’m attempting in this post) already somewhere. Let me know if you are aware of similar efforts, I would be eager to join.

For the critics - do not assume that I'm naive. While certain specifics can be commented/criticized, giving me moral/philosophical advice is not welcome. I'm _not_ looking for it.
