ok yes I agree definitely too broad of a statement to say "google notifies when your site is hacked," but they definitely try.

I'm assuming you read Japanese, anything else notable?

I agree, I didn't think it was really that effective for the amount of time and effort they had to put forth. Not to mention the fact that I got 2 follow up emails (1 on the NYSE) really angry going after them legally.

Thanks for reading really appreciate it. Yes Google sends a notification via email via Google search console ( formerly known as Google Webmaster Tools) a lot of times when a site gets hacked. A lot of times they catch it long before the webmaster does most of the time it is a shared hosting with an absentee admin or webmaster.

I know a lot of people in this crowd probably run across these situations all the time but a lot of people don't realize why exactly their sites got hacked and what the purpose is. Thank you so much again for reading and checking this out.

Just here to share a bit about my experience. I've been affiliate marketing for 8 years, and self-employed for 5 years. (I also run another business)

Affiliate marketing is an emotional roller coaster, not just in the sense that the money goes up and down so much. It is evertything, constantly watching traffic and analytics is very draining. It becomes almost impossible to go on vacation when things are bad. Almost worse wehn things are going good because all you are worried about doing is scaling.

Like a few other people in this thread, I've been out of the game for a while. I still have a few profitable campaigns that I am lucky enough to have nailed down to the point where I'll dominate as long as the niche is alive. I stopped innovating and testing new things because the industry is so god damn shady. Not just the CPA offers, I've had affiliate managers steal my campaign creative ideas, networks continually not pay me out and so many people fk me over.

Part of me thinks I would still be in the hustle if I didn't get married and have a kid, but for me it isn't something you can do if you want to responsibly sustain a household.

For anyone looking to get into this: pick a product (CPA, CPS) that you can get behind mentally. Can I promote this? Do I know how to sell this? Do I know how to write creative ads that will be better than the next guys?

Develop my hobbies, outside of my career (my career is also my hobby.)

In addition to tech, I like working with wood, electronics, and firearms. Would like to be able to build cooler things with electronics, wood and be a better shooter. I do all of these things a lot in my spare time but would like to do so more often.

Side note / fun fact - I know years ago we got a warning from Google for using a screenshot of the search engine results (modified, I think it had an arrow) on our company website.

Not a hardware guy so don't know a ton about this, the oversimplification was a bit necessary for me. With that, I'm very excited for DX12, is it available for download on Windows7-64 yet?

awesome, would love to know what sub-reddits received the illegitimate takedown requests. Can anyone take a stab at which ones?

Thought this community might like this since the big Patch.com 'scandal' last year was so hot last year on HN.

Not bad, quite nifty interface as well. I'd use it for a quick site.

Perhaps the next step in the evolution of this logo would be to add some CSS selectors to the text (shadow, glow) for readability purposes against img. backgrounds.

there was a pretty rowdy thread here that went down when this site was discovered. that was pretty much the end result /public opinion.

really nice, well done and great job working with parsons on his!

Good question. I don't work at a company with a lot of culture so I'll refrain. I'd like to see answers to this from the same company, but the CEO's perspective vs a mid level workers perspective.

Just thought I'd give this a share here, I've been a lurker for about 3 years now. This project was one that I wanted to tackle for a long time, learning how to make images. I work for an agency with a lot of talented designers, so I had a lot of really great help. My motivation to do this came as a result of the fact that I do a lot of side projects and don't want to rely on other people for every little thing (like banners, etc).

Hope you enjoy and don't flame me too bad I am still a beginner!

Kind of a lurker here but thought I'd step in since this is where I spend at least 10% of my week. I am in fact proud of our company blog. I do about 80% of the posts and try to get authority figures in the industry to guest post whenever I can.

I honestly started off just because I knew blogging was good for SEO, but now I love blogging and would do it even if no one read my posts.

Since the time I started blogging a few years ago, our traffic has SOARED in ways I never thought it would.

I focus on writing about general news in the industry as well as theory. As far as best practices:

1. The number 1 rule I stick by is only write posts that I would read myself, and that I am proud of.

2. I try not to newsjack, if I can be one of the first people to write about a piece of news that is going on in the industry I will take that as an opportunity. When that happens the traffic comes pouring in.

3. Although I do a lot of SEO myself, I don't ever worry about stuff like keyword density or other stuff that could drive away readers.

We've had dozens of clients and employee hires that have found us through reading our blog.

I am really liking this design and HTML is so clean. Anyone know what the breakdown of this stack is? A lot of the illustrations are SVG how are they animated?

unbounce.com has a pretty nifty system going, especially if you want to try a bunch of different systems quick. beyond that you can just grab a template from some place like themeforest and try out a few different WP landing page themes.

I've just started getting into making my own furniture last year. I've found it is a really code release from coding/designing/staring at devices all day long. Building a website or app is very rewarding, but there is a different feeling when you build something with your hands that you actually use. It's nice to have an actually hobby.

I've made 2 tables and a desk. It started out of necessity: I have a really weird obtuse-angled wall that no desk would fit inside. Wrote a post about it if anyone wants to see. http://bit.ly/1k6XiU7

Haven't moved onto chairs/couches etc because the whole upholstery thing kind of scares me. Also - you can easily build most furniture for a few hundred dollars, but you have to look for it! I have a construction dumpster near my house right now with a ton of old pallets they are throwing out, that right there is enough to make some really cool stuff. Also re-purposing is really "in" right now so in my opinion even better :)
