The Pros and Cons of Using a Website's SSL Certificate
The cost of implemation? Ssl is free on most hosts. If a host is charging you for it, then they’re not a good host. There isn’t a performance effect either. It is a must to have it implemented on your websites.

What plugins or tools have been game-changers for your forum?
Bob’s showcase add is a must if you want to implement a directory system to your forum. I prefer to use it over the link directory add on. The s9e/MediaSites add on is another must have as you can share links from multiple social media platforms that aren’t built in with XF’s core. Such as, Bluesky, soundcloud and a few others. Oz badges add on is also nice if you want to implement gamification onto your forum with user badges.

Are Moderation Logs Necessary for Transparency?
I don’t think public moderation logs are necessary, moderation decisions should stay between staff members. While transparency is important, making every action public can lead to unnecessary drama, callouts, and second-guessing, which can undermine a mod team’s ability to do their job effectively. Moderation logs should always be available for admins to review in case any issues arise. A community runs on trust, and moderators are the backbone that keeps everything running smoothly. Public logs can create more problems than they solve, so it’s usually best to keep them internal and focus on fostering trust through consistent, fair moderation instead.

Google sued by Chegg over AI Overviews hurting traffic and revenue
Chegg, the publicly traded education technology company, has sued Google over its AI Overviews, claiming they have hurt its traffic and revenue. The company said that AI Overviews is “materially impacting our acquisitions, revenue, and employees.” What Chegg said. Chegg wrote: More details. CNBC reports that “Chegg is worth less than $200 million, and in after-hours trading Monday, the stock was trading just above $1 per share.” Chegg has engaged Goldman Sachs to look at options to get acquired or other strategic options for the company. Chegg reported a $6.1 million net loss on $143.5 million in fourth-quarter revenue, a 24% decline year over year, according to a statement. Analysts polled by LSEG had expected $142.1 million in revenue. Management called for first-quarter revenue between $114 million and $116 million, but analysts had been targeting $138.1 million. The stock was down 18% in extended trading. The report goes on to say that Google forces companies like Chegg to “supply our proprietary content in order to be included in Google’s search function,” said Schultz, adding that the search company uses its monopoly power, “reaping the financial benefits of Chegg’s content without having to spend a dime.” Here is more from Chegg’s statement: First is reciprocal dealing, meaning that Google forces companies like Chegg to supply our proprietary content in order to be included in Google’s search function. Second is monopoly maintenance, or that Google unfairly exercises its monopoly power within search and other anti-competitive conduct to muscle out companies like Chegg. And third is unjust enrichment, meaning Google is reaping the financial benefits of Chegg’s content without having to spend a dime. Why we care. Will Chegg win in a court against Google? Will Google have to rethink its AI Overviews and find better ways to send traffic to publishers and site owners? It is hard to imagine but this may be the first large lawsuit over Google’s new AI Overviews.

How to Optimize Website Speed Without Hurting Ad Revenue
google adsense is also mainly a CPM ad company now, so the more traffic you have, the more you’ll earn. Having multiple ads can lower the cpm rate, but a big skycraper ad would work well. Cpc was important years ago, but it isn’t anymore. https://snigel.com/blog/cpm-vs-cpc Recently, Google AdSense shook things up by switching their payment model from CPC to CPM. This move aims to align with industry standards and provide more transparency for publishers like you. But what does this mean for your earnings? In this blog, we’ll break down the differences between the metrics CPM vs CPC, explain why AdSense made this shift, and explore how it might have impacted your revenue. [HEADING=3]Advantages of CPM:[/HEADING] Predictable Revenue: If you have a high-traffic website, CPM advertising can provide a steady and predictable stream of revenue. The more visitors you have, the higher your potential earnings. Brand Visibility:CPM is perfect for advertisers focused on brand awareness. They benefit from widespread visibility, which is crucial for increasing brand recognition. Simplified Metrics:You can easily calculate your potential earnings based on traffic volume, helping with financial forecasting and strategic planning.

This can be less appealing for advertisers who want direct responses from users. Potentially Lower Earnings for Low-Traffic Sites: If your site has niche or low traffic, CPM might not be as profitable compared to models that reward user engagement.

Are you a fan of bookmarks?
Bookmarking a webpage is like saving a shortcut to your favorite sites, making them easy to revisit whenever you’re online. Some people rely on bookmarks to stay organized, while others prefer to search from scratch each time. Do you use bookmarks to keep track of important pages, or do you just wing it and hope you remember?

How Much Content Should You Have Before Launching a New Forum?
How much content do you think a new forum needs before it’s ready to launch? I wouldn’t feel comfortable opening the doors with anything less than 100 solid topics/posts—enough to spark discussions and give new users something to engage with right away. A quiet, empty forum can be a dealbreaker, but a well-seeded one? That’s inviting. What’s your magic number? How much content do you think is just right before going live?

What strategies do you use to celebrate community milestones?
Hitting a big milestone whether it’s 1,000 members, a record-breaking event, or a major achievement is a huge deal! But the way a community celebrates can make all the difference in keeping players engaged and excited. Some communities throw special in-game events, exclusive giveaways, or limited-time rewards. Others go all out with livestreams, contests, or sneak peeks at upcoming content. What’s the BEST way to celebrate a milestone? Do you think a contest or free giveaways are the best way to celebrate a milestone? Do you prefer in-game rewards or special badges? Would you rather see behind-the-scenes content or community shoutouts?

Advertising
Internet marketing is the best way to advertise. If you have a lot of money, paid advertising is the way to go. However, I’d rather spend time promoting on social media or other outlets instead.
