Agree wholeheartedly. I’ve also been scammed by a third-party Amazon seller, and I half-wonder if they continue to allow third-party sellers as a way to further promote Amazon Prime — when you’re on Prime, you can simply filter out all non-Prime items. You know in your head you don’t have to deal with all the extraneous, spammy crap associated with non-Prime purchases.

We once built a site (for a major consumer brand) where the client insisted on so many carousel slides that they started duplicating slides in the lineup because it had been too long since they’d been seen.

(Our recommendation was to avoid a carousel, but the client had to have it!)

Etab | 10 years ago | on: SEO hidden text and AJAX

Is the argument that Google doesn't index hidden text, or that Google penalizes the use of hidden text?

This experiment proves what we knew -- Google indexes hidden text; however, it doesn't prove or test what people want to know -- if Google penalizes results that hide text.

Nice work.

My first reaction was, "Huh? Why not just use your phone's built-in Contacts?"

But then thinking about it for a minute and watching the very helpful video demo on the homepage...

I like how you can open the app and start entering info. Much better than fiddling through Phone or Contacts app. Really nice touch on including the location.

Seriously -- good job, Tommy!

Related: "I don't have a Facebook" is the new "I don't have a TV." For some reason, those who either refused to sign up or chose to deactivate their accounts feel the need to share this with everyone everywhere.
