A marketing agreement is a document that sets forth the terms and conditions for which a marketer assists clients with their marketing activities.

The following marketing agreement template could be the foundation of marketer's contractual arrangement with clients: Marketing Agreement Template

It identifies six elements of an effective marketing agreement:

• Deliverables
• Timeline
• Ownership
• Payment
• Confidentiality

Website design proposals are used to pitch web design services to prospective clients. It captures details about a webmaster approach, services, and payment terms, and shows clients that you take your work seriously and are thorough in your approach. A website proposal gives you more credibility and ultimately increases your chance of securing a job. Here is a simple three-page website proposal template with its key elements explained: Website Proposal Template - Elements & Template

A website contract (aka a website development contract), is a formal agreement between you and your client outlining the terms and conditions of your web services. Such services include things like designing web pages, turning designs into a functional website, offering web hosting, and website maintenance.

Here is a simple website design agreement template for outlining the terms and conditions of your web services: Simple Website Design Agreement Template (doc & pdf)
The template has been reviewed by legal experts and covers the following key items:

• Responsibilities and services
• Deliverables and timelines
• Payment terms

Generally, you can use this contract template for all web services. The only thing you’ll need to adjust is your deliverables to match the goals of the project.

Hello! I just created my website https://kathlinvirtualassistant.com/ but when I run it through page speed insights I get this error saying

Lighthouse returned error: FAILED_DOCUMENT_REQUEST. Lighthouse was unable to reliably load the page you requested. Make sure you are testing the correct URL and that the server is properly responding to all requests. (Details: net::ERR_FAILED

Any advice? Thank you.

Hey Webmasters!

I would like to invite you to read my blog post about how to allow you visitors to contact you via whatsapp, I wrote an article about it.

I'm been hosting my WP site on Ubuntu server.

​

At some point I think I messed with Ubuntu FTP user permissions or group permissions or something of that sort and after that this happened:

​

1. Wordpress is unable to update on its own. When I try to update WP or plugins it says. "To perform the requested action, WordPress needs to access your web server. Please enter your FTP credentials to proceed. If you do not remember your credentials, you should contact your web host."

​

So first problem is wordpress unable to work on its own without me providing these FTP credentials.

​

2. Now, when I do provide these credentials this is what happens:

Downloading update from ....

The authenticity of wordpress-5-3.1-new-bundled.zip could not be verified as no signature was found.

Unpacking update...

Could not create directory.

Insallation failed

​

I checked the FTP permissions in ubuntu and it has access to wp directories.

​

And funniest thing - when I enter ROOT access to this FTP User and FTP Pass window it says "ERROR: There was an error connecting to the server, Please verify the settings are correct."

​

My WP folder and files are set to recommended permission settings. If I set 777 then it will work, but I can't exposes my WP install folder like that. Right now folders have 755 permission. Files have 644.

​

Can anyone let me know the steps to take to troubleshoot this?

​

What exactly could be causing these access problems?

I don't really know what happened but my "Percent Cached" metric in analytics suddenly dropped by a lot.

This happened yesterday. I did not make any changes or update any Wordpress plugins.

I noticed the "Total Requests" increased, "Total Data Served" increase, but the "Data Cached" stayed the same.

Here is a screenshot: https://prnt.sc/q8out9

Today's trending is the same with the abnormal percentage (not show in the screenshot).

Any ideas what happened?

They've been my registrar for around 15 years (they weren't complete shit back in the day). I'm leaving now though, and here's why...

I renewed a domain last week, and added privacy protection, as usual. $25 total, whatever, it's the going rate. A few days later, I get an email from Sitelock that says "Thank you for purchasing SiteLock through our partner Netfirms." WTF? Check my CC statement and there's a $15.99 charge from Sitelock. Try to log into Sitelock via the links in the email, says I am not in their system.

Look at Netfirms and there's a new button under the privacy section of my domains, for Sitelock, that's turned on (even for the 7 domains I hadn't renewed). I shut that bullshit off and hop onto support chat. They tell me it was never on, and there is no charge. They don't believe me until I forward them the email from Sitelock. Even then, they insist there was no charge (how tf would they know?). I am looking at my god damned credit card statement; SITELOCK, right there, plain as day. They tell me I'm full of shit (paraphrasing here, and I was nice to the poor Indian gal on support; it's not her fault). I tell them they lost a customer, and go to remove my CC from their billing. NOPE. Can't remove the card, can't change anything about it, their claws are in. Best part, I paid Netfirms for privacy protection, and Sitelock was forwarded my name, email, and CC info.

Here's the thing, their "partner" Sitelock is charging people $15.99 a month, per domain, and it's being added by default (hidden throughout the purchase process). That is some serious cash, and is well worth losing, what... 5% of their overall registrar customer base? Hell, domains are $15 a year, they will see mad profits even if Sitelock is only kicking back a tiny percentage. If 10% of their customer base either leaves, or cancels the service immediately, it's still raining money. It's a scam; I don't even care what Sitelock supposedly does, it's certainly bullshit.

So yeah, all those sites that say to avoid Netfirms; BELIEVE THEM.

TL;DR - Netfirms is using Sitelock to fleece their customer base. Pass the salt.

I want to know that if for link building if I am doing high-quality free directory submission manually will it consider as spamming as per the Google guidelines which can affect my website.

Can we do High-Quality free manual directories submission for link building or not?

/r/webmasters and /r/webmaster are kinda dead.

Surely there must be a bustling subreddit for webmasters somewhere?

Today I have the opportunity to test BetaPage and I will be happy if you help me. I made the registration around 2 months ago and a few hours ago my project has been approved. I'll share with you everything related to this process. I think this can be very useful information and validate BetaPage as a good opportunity to promote your future project globally.

​

I would like to ask you to:

1. Recommend information I should track. Currently, I track the votes number and the traffic send to my homepage from the "new" section. Will track the "trending" section and their newsletter, too.

2. Vote for the project to qualify for the trending page (their homepage).

​

This is the publication on BetaPage:

Thank you! Expect a summary of the whole process in a couple of days.

I noticed on an old archived site, Youtube embeds have stopped working https://geekout.org.uk/posts/Launch_Video/index.html

What tool can crawl my site and tell me about such issues?

I have my original primary domain with Wordpress on it: mymainname.com

​

I bought a second domain, my2nddomain.com and parked it onto the primary.

When I type into the address bar my2nddomain.com it takes me to the right place but the URL in the broswer address bar changes to mymainname.com.

How do I keep the name in the address bar which is typed?

I have already a domain, mydomain.com and its pointing to my website which is hosted by Hostinger.

​

I would like to register a new domain, myothername.com and have that point to a sub-folder on my main site, so not actually to my main site's home page.

​

Is there anyway of doing this ?

I have google adsense.

Two ads were visible today, but my ads (top banner, top right sidebar, and very bottom) have disappeared. I didn't code them, I used a plugin (it's discontinued now) and placed them manually. My adsense is still up and running but I've made nothing over the past week or so. The plugin has been discontinued for a while but the ads have worked for the longest time and the ad on the sidebar is custom code. I have no idea what has happened.

The site is http://vgculturehq.com

Can anyone offer any insight or help? I really do not know what to do and am at a total loss. I need this ad revenue and my site has been doing really well. It's killing my impressions.

Thanks.

Any ideas how to better block individuals other than an IP ban?

I know I might be wishing for something that doesn't exist, but maybe you'll have some ideas on how to change our business rules...

We run a large website that composes specialized educational group chats.

Our marketing practice is to provide a free trial of these online sessions with no credit card required (we're trying really hard to grow the userbase). Users need to validate emails to sign up but the perv just makes new ones.

We have a domestic (USA) scammer that signs up for accounts, joins these sessions and flashes the group, and does other inappropriate things. He is immediately blocked and banned but he returns about weekly.

We often have minors in the groups so we have contacted authorities in the city that we have noticed a trend (IP geolocation of a library and businesses locally). We have a picture of the person and have filed a police report. We do not have a name. He connects from a new IP every session so an IP ban is proving impossible.

This one guy is a complete threat to our business. I am wondering if you all have any ideas on what we could try. I think this one guy is going to force us to start requiring credit cards to sign up which no matter what is going to hurt us.

In the past when I've had clients who aren't interested in premium email hosting (G Suite, Office365, Rackspace), I've set up mailboxes for them on their webhosting accounts or at the domain registrar. However, I've never liked those options and only use them because they're inexpensive and convenient. I'm finally thinking about migrating some of those to a better service. What are some of your preferred inexpensive ($1/box per month, or less) options for email hosting? Anything that offers a good price for webmasters who might be setting up a few accounts each at multiple domains is ideal. Thanks!

UPDATE: Custom domains are essential; POP or IMAP access is preferred. I know that a few hosts offer webmail-only for free, but I'm looking for something a little more versatile.

I run a site for a music school that allows visitors to create their own accounts (so they can register for workshops from the school). I knew when I set this up that I'd get spammed with b.s. accounts, and I'm taking steps (captcha for starters) to control that, but the account spam I've gotten is unexpected.

Lots of it, to be sure. but it appears that every single nonsense account that's been registered has an email address ending in .club. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? It's certainly convenient for me, but I'm guessing that's not why it's happening. Any speculation?

I am going through 404 logs and noticing a good amount of attempts to load ads.txt.

Should I block these? Or maybe add an empty ads.txt?

What is the best practice for this?

Looking for a safe website hit counter, any suggestions?

Hello All,

If i upload search console verification file i.e. HTML File multiple times what will happens?

​

Hey.

I just wanted to ask someone a question, but I don't know who - so I have to ask it there. I'd like to create my own internet shop, which will have only 3/4 items in it's offer to sell for about $250 each. But I don't know what I can use to create my website - shall I use PrestaShop, or it's designed for bigger shops? I've been also thinking about WordPress, but I don't really know what to choose, since I'm really a newbie in this whole coding-world. Of course I will use someone's help later, but only when I suceed with my business. So, overall - I'm looking for something newbie-friendly, on what I can put short list of items, without sweating my sh.t on. Can someone help me in making my decision?

Yes, I know I should have a solid contract and agreed-to payment plan. But there are times when I have to launch a client's web site prior to being paid in full. I do this in good faith and have almost always received the final payment.

​

I may have a pending situation where a client is going to stiff me for enough money to make me care. The domain registration and web hosting accounts are in his name and although I've currently got login and FTP access, there's nothing to prevent him from revoking that.

​

I don't want to get into a legal battle and I don't want to renegotiate the contract. I just want a way to temporarily disable the web site until I'm fully paid. Banks can foreclose and take possession of houses if the owner gets behind on his mortgage and car dealers can repossess cars if the owner stops making payments. I need something like that to encourage payment and where I can restore the site once payment is made.

​

I played around with an idea a while back that involved installing a "dead man's switch" in the web code. It was a snippet of PHP that looked for the presence of a file on a domain I control. If the file exists, the web page renders normally. But if the file does not exist (because I removed it due to failure to pay) the code snippet writes some javascript that does a redirect to Google or Bing or something like that. It's non-destructive, but can obviously be seen and removed by the client if he's tech savvy enough. I'm just not sure this idea is foolproof enough (for example, disabling javascript would break it).

​

Is there anything I can do in situations where a site is already live? It seems that temporarily taking down the site is the only leverage I have short of going to small claims court.

​

What are your thoughts?...

For over 10 years I have been developing websites and I act as a webmaster for 3 rather big sites and yet I don't know any peer webmasters with experience who would like to chat and exchange ideas and challenges.

I haven't used my own ad-server in probably 4-5 years. Lately, i've been just pasting adsense code in and not trying to sell ads separately.

Today I was researching ad-servers and first searched for phpadsnew.. and remembered (i think?) that it became 'OpenX'.. searched openx and found the commercial .com version(s) but the .org site isn't coming up.

Did that get forked again to another name? What is everyone using for an open source ad server?

Thanks!

Hello dear webmasters,

I would like to know which online service that allows hotlinking for file downloads? I would like to host APK files in order for users to download them as soon as they access the URL example http://www.host.com/shazam.apk

How do websites like APKPure.com host all the big data of files?

Thanks all for taking the time to help a fellow out!

Hello!

I launched an affiliate site not so long ago and my Google Analytics is telling me that I've started getting organic traffic (which isn't very much yet). However, my bounce rate is incredibly high (around 95%!) and I'm not sure what to make of it. Here is the url to my site: r/https://jetplanesandchampagne.com. I can't seem to find why I'm not doing so well, conversions wise, but I have a few guesses:

- Load time? I score around 1.5-1.8 seconds on Gtmetrix, but I'm not sure if this is the reality of my site.

- Messy?

- Content isn't above the fold?

- Spambots? I've heard that they can alter Google analytic metrics

If I could get your some first impressions and constructive criticism, it would mean the world for me. I'm in a rough patch right now and I'm anxious to get through this hump. I post everyday and hope for the best, but I think that it's time that I start making some changes. Thank you in advance for your time, and have a blessed day!

I recently tried blocking a country due to malicious activity, and I was wondering if there are any good resources out there that can check or verify if a website is accessible from a country or IP address block?

To block a country in Apache .htaccess, I did:

<RequireAll>
	Require all granted
	Require not ip x.xx.xx.x/xx
        ...
        ...
