Today we have Andrew Northern, Principal Security Researcher at Censys, discussing "From Evasion to Evidence: Exploiting the Funneling Behavior of Injects". This research explains how modern web malware campaigns use multi-stage JavaScript injections, redirects, and fake CAPTCHAs to selectively deliver payloads and evade detection. It shows that these attack chains rely on stable redirect and traffic-distribution chokepoints that can be monitored at scale. Using the SmartApe campaign as a case study, the report demonstrates how defenders can turn those chokepoints into high-confidence detection and tracking opportunities.

You validated the idea. You built the page. Maybe you're even getting traffic. And yet… the conversions don't match the effort. In Part 2 of our interview with Samir ElKamouny, we shift from "prove the concept" to conversion rate optimization—the discipline of diagnosing what's actually limiting growth and improving the parts of your funnel that matter most. This isn't about chasing shiny marketing tactics. It's about execution: the kind that turns a funnel from "pretty good" into "predictable." About Samir ElKamouny Samir ElKamouny is an entrepreneur and marketing expert who believes execution is everything—an early lesson inspired by his father's legacy of big ideas. He has helped scale businesses by pairing strategic action with a commitment to impact, guided by values such as Freedom, Happiness, Health, Family, and Spirituality. In this episode, that philosophy becomes funnel execution: identify the bottleneck, prioritize the 80/20, and optimize what's already working. Conversion Rate Optimization Starts With One Question: Where's the Constraint? Many teams skip straight to A/B testing headlines or tweaking button colors. Samir takes a more surgical approach. Before you optimize anything, you need to know what kind of problem you have: Do you have a traffic problem? Or do you have a conversion problem? Because those are different fixes. If you're not getting enough visitors, obsessing over landing page micro-changes won't move the needle. But if you are getting traffic and still not getting demos, leads, or signups—then you've got a conversion bottleneck, and conversion rate optimization is exactly the right tool. Bottleneck First Traffic problem = distribution. Demo problem = messaging, offer, trust, friction, or flow. Diagnose the constraint before you "optimize." Use the 80/20 Rule to Avoid Busywork Samir's funnel advice lines up with how great engineers debug systems: don't touch everything—find the one thing causing most of the pain. That's the 80/20 rule applied to marketing and funnels: A small number of pages create most conversions. A small number of objections block most sales. A small number of steps create most drop-off. When you apply conversion rate optimization well, you're not "improving your funnel" in general. You're improving the one point that's limiting everything downstream. A practical example: if you're generating leads but no one books calls, the issue probably isn't your top-of-funnel content. It's the handoff—your booking experience, your follow-up, or the clarity of what the call is for. The "Two-Second Clarity Test" for Positioning Samir emphasizes something that's brutally simple—and incredibly effective: When someone lands on your page, they should understand what you do in about two seconds. Not "kind of." Not "after reading three paragraphs." Two seconds. That clarity acts like a conversion multiplier. If visitors are confused, they don't scroll. They don't click. They bounce. And no amount of A/B testing can fix a page that doesn't communicate the offer. Two-Second Clarity Test: Can a first-time visitor instantly answer: What is this? Who is it for? What outcome do I get? If not, start there. Don't Test What Nobody Sees One of the most actionable parts of Part 2 is Samir's reminder to test based on attention, not opinions. Teams often test sections that aren't getting seen or clicked because they "feel important." But if users never reach that section—or don't interact with it—optimizing it is wasted effort. Instead, focus on experiments where user engagement is highest: above the fold the primary CTA area pricing/packages booking forms the first "proof" section (testimonials, logos, outcomes) That's how you make conversion rate optimization practical: test the parts of the page that actually get traffic, eyeballs, and clicks. A Simple Conversion Rate Optimization Framework You Can Use This Week Here's a clean execution loop you can run without overcomplicating it: Pick one conversion goal (demo booked, lead submitted, trial started). Locate the biggest drop-off (analytics + recordings + basic funnel tracking). Form one hypothesis ("People don't trust us yet," "Offer is unclear," "Form is too long"). Make one meaningful change (not five at once). Measure the result and keep only what improves the goal. That's it. Clear goal. One bottleneck. One change. Real measurement. Closing Thoughts: Optimize the Constraint, Not Your Ego The best part of Samir's approach is that it respects reality. It avoids "marketing theater" and focuses on execution that produces outcomes. If you want conversion rate optimization to work, don't start with cleverness. Start with constraints: Where are people dropping off? What do they not understand? What stops them from taking the next step? Fix that one thing, and the whole system improves.

Most email funnels are a hot mess of confusing automations, mismatched lead magnets, and pitch sequences that try to teach instead of sell.

Funnel Down Defense Visit https://teachhoops.com/ for defensive system breakdowns, drill progressions, and practice plans that will help you install and master funnel down principles to transform your team's ability to protect the rim and defend ball screens. In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most effective defensive philosophies for high school basketball: funnel down defense, where perimeter defenders force ball handlers toward help and shot blockers rather than allowing penetration to weak side or baseline. This systematic approach prioritizes protecting the paint, eliminating layups, and forcing contested mid-range shots and outside jumpers—exactly the kind of shots high school players struggle to make consistently. We break down the core principles that make funnel down defense work: aggressive ball pressure with proper angles, baseline denial on the wings, hard hedging or showing on ball screens to force middle penetration, and active help-side rotations that arrive before the drive. You'll learn specific footwork and positioning techniques for on-ball defenders, the exact positioning for help defenders in the lane, communication systems that keep everyone connected, and how to recover and closeout when the ball is reversed. We also discuss common mistakes teams make when trying to implement funnel down concepts—like passive ball pressure that allows easy middle drives, late help that results in layups, or overhelping that creates wide-open threes. This episode provides detailed teaching progressions for installing funnel down defense: starting with individual defensive stance and angles, building to two-on-two shell situations where help concepts are introduced, progressing to full five-on-five team defense with proper rotations, and finally competing against live offense with ball screens and actions. We address how this defensive philosophy affects your big men's positioning, what kind of athletes you need to run it effectively, and adjustments you'll need to make against elite ball handlers or three-point shooting teams. Whether you're tired of giving up easy baskets in the paint or looking for a defensive identity that maximizes your shot blocker's impact, you'll gain a complete framework for building funnel down defense that protects the rim and forces opponents into low-percentage shots. funnel down defense, basketball defensive system, paint protection basketball, rim protection defense, ball screen defense, help defense basketball, defensive philosophy basketball, forcing middle defense, baseline denial basketball, hedging ball screens, defensive rotations basketball, high school defense coaching, team defense concepts, defensive angles basketball, help side defense, defensive positioning basketball, teaching team defense, defensive drill progressions, shell drill defense, closeout drills basketball, on-ball defense coaching, defensive communication basketball, protecting the paint, defensive schemes basketball, basketball defensive strategy, forcing contested shots, defensive footwork basketball, team defense installation, Wisconsin basketball defense, defensive system coaching SEO Keywords: Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Built for the Edge, Kehla G names a quiet tension many entrepreneurs are feeling but struggling to articulate. They're visible. They have leads. They've built funnels, offers, systems, and pathways that look “right” on paper — yet conversion feels heavier than it should. Momentum stalls. Decisions slow. And passive strategies that once worked now require constant effort to sustain. Rather than diagnosing this as a messaging or positioning issue, Kehla points to something far less discussed: orientation. This episode explores what happens when businesses are built to move people toward outcomes without accounting for how people are actually arriving — emotionally, energetically, and neurologically. It challenges common assumptions about “meeting people where they're at,” questions the confusion between attention and readiness, and examines why pressure-based funnels no longer land in a more discerning market. Through a vivid highway-under-construction metaphor, Kehla invites listeners to consider how the quality of movement through their business — not just the destination — may be shaping client behavior, hesitation, and decision-making. This is not an episode about fixing funnels or optimizing copy. It's an invitation to notice what becomes visible when those explanations stop working. The conversation closes at the threshold, opening into a deeper inquiry around timing, inner authority, and what it takes to build a business that can actually hold the level of discernment present now.

Most funnels don't fail quietly. They drain your time. Your energy. And your belief that this shit can actually work. So I tested every (yes, every) funnel so you don't have to. VSLs. Webinars. Challenges. Tripwires. Quiz funnels. DM scripts. All of it. It took me nine months, and more money than I care to admit. And here's the truth no one wants to say out loud: Most funnels suck. Unless you're already internet famous… Have a massive following… Or host a podcast with Tim Ferriss… Almost any funnel can work. But what about the rest of us? What if you're just a damn good coach who wants great clients consistently? Without living inside content calendars, DMs, or ad dashboards? That's what this video is about. In this episode, I break down the one funnel that beat everything else every single time, because it's: • Simple • Clean • Built on trust (not hype) • Scales without big ad budgets • Works even with a small or nonexistent audience We talk about why: • Followers don't equal buyers • Daily content farms lead to burnout, not scale • DM closing repels high-trust clients • Most funnels fail because the market doesn't believe anymore And what actually works instead. I call it the Trust Engine. It's the highest-converting system we've ever tested and we've installed it in 200+ coaching businesses across niches. Health. Business. Relationships. Agencies. Service pros. Same result. Because it's built on three things: 1. A strong, obvious offer 2. Smart nurture that builds trust before the call 3. A clean sales process with zero pressure No "only 3 spots left" bullshit. Just a system that helps serious buyers make serious decisions. And this isn't theory. We've helped: • Coaches go from $32k → $108k/month in 90 days • Coaches hit $240k in a quarter after years of funnel hopping • Coaches with zero audience book 21 calls in 10 days and close $40k If your business feels noisy… If your funnel isn't converting… If you're doing too much for too little return… This episode will save you months of wasted effort. —— In this video: 00:00 — I tested every funnel so you don't have to 00:35 — Why most funnels fail 01:05 — The myth of massive followings 01:40 — Why daily content leads to burnout 02:15 — The DM closing lie 02:50 — What actually works: the Trust Engine 03:20 — Why trust beats tactics 03:55 — The 3 pillars of a high-converting funnel 04:30 — Why your offer matters more than the funnel 05:05 — Smart nurture vs pressure selling 05:40 — Clean sales with zero gimmicks 06:10 — Real client results (across niches) 07:00 — Why most funnels fail in today's market 07:40 — Engineering trust at scale 08:20 — Finding the choke point in your business 08:55 — Stay in your zone of genius 09:35 — What to do next —— If this is our first time meeting, hey

Clinic owners and physical therapists — this one's a wake-up call. Jimmy dives into why 76% of referrals never start PT care and how friction at every stage of the funnel — forms, phone tag, poor UX — drives patients away. You'll also hear how concierge PT is changing expectations, why Netflix would never make you fax, and the real fixes every clinic can implement to stop the bleeding.What You'll Learn:Where patients are dropping off — and whyWhy your intake form is probably working against youHow self-referral is flipping traditional marketingConcierge PT pricing and perception shiftsFixes that scale without hurting patient trustSponsors:Pre-Roll: Brooks IHL → https://www.brooksihl.orgMid-Roll: EMPOWER EMR → https://www.empoweremr.comPre-Parting: U.S. Physical Therapy → https://www.usph.comPSA: Go Baby Go → Support mobility for kids: [Link Placeholder]Subscribe & Follow:Apple → https://apple.co/3IP8U0OSpotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/3LmMUT64yrUc2iGo9EmafcWebsite → https://www.ptpintcast.com/
How to Write Catchy Titles, Descriptions, and High-Impact Headlines for your websites, email marketing, social media marketing, Pinterest SEO, and more with Favour Obasi-Ike | Sign up for exclusive SEO insights.Episode Summary:In this comprehensive episode + guide on crafting effective digital headlines, titles, and descriptions to boost online engagement. The speaker emphasizes that metadata acts as the essential context for content, serving as the primary factor that drives click-through rates across platforms like Google, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Strategic advice includes maintaining a title length of approximately 55 to 65 characters to avoid text truncation while maximizing visual impact. I also recommend using odd numbers, brackets, and power words to leverage psychological triggers that improve visibility and user trust. Finally, the discussion frames intentional copywriting as a vital tool for business owners to transform passive web traffic into active conversions and long-term brand authority.In high-level digital strategy, titles, descriptions, and headlines are not merely decorative—they serve as the essential "key frames" of metadata. This content architecture bridges the gap between raw information and audience discovery by providing the necessary context (Author, Host, Duration, and Intent) that search algorithms require to categorize an asset. By transforming raw content into searchable, high-value assets, a strategist ensures that the brand is prioritized within the user's search journey.Favour emphasizes that structured delivery and architectural integrity correlate directly to business results. If a title fails to establish immediate relevance, the conversion path is broken before it begins. Success in the current landscape requires a commitment to iterative improvement—ensuring the "next version" of a title or metadata set is systematically optimized based on data rather than intuition. This log details the tactical framework used by Favour, currently ranked #2 (We Don't PLAY!) on the FeedSpot Top 100 Marketing Podcasts (trailing only Gary Vaynerchuk), to drive visibility across SEO, PPC, and email ecosystems.Deep Dive: The Quantitative Science of Click-Through Rates (CTR)To maximize ROI, content creators must move beyond "gut feeling" and toward research-backed optimization. Using industry benchmarks from Orbit Media and Moz, we can calibrate headlines to meet the psychological triggers that drive user action.-------------------------------------------------------------------------Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> Need SEO Services?

The following log segments the Masterclass into thematic chapters, providing the "So What?" factor for each strategic shift.Chapters:Chapter 1: The Metadata Framework [00:00 - 10:00] Context vs. Content. This segment establishes that metadata is the "context" (attributes like host and duration) that allows users to value an asset before engaging. Without these key frames, even high-quality content remains invisible to search engines and the "Exact Searcher Intent."Chapter 2: The Utility of Catchy Copy [10:00 - 18:00] Visibility Across the Funnel. Effective copy acts as the primary catalyst for Click-Through Rates (CTR) across SEO, LinkedIn, and Email. The speaker frames catchy titles as functional tools that pre-condition the audience for engagement and conversion.Chapter 3: The Physics of the Pixel [18:00 - 25:00] Typography Weight. Moving beyond character counts, this chapter introduces the 600-pixel display limit. Strategists must account for the "weight" of individual characters (e.g., a capital "W" vs. a lowercase "l") to prevent truncation and maintain a professional aesthetic on the SERP (Search Engine Results Page).Chapter 4: The Psychology of Numbers [25:00 - 35:00] Time-Value Perception. This section evaluates how numbers (specifically odd numbers) impact user psychology. The "So What?" factor is the "minute-per-item" rule: users subconsciously equate the number of items in a title to the minutes they must invest (e.g., 10 ways = 10 minutes), directly influencing the decision to click.Chapter 5: Platform Evolution [35:00 - 45:00] Ecosystem Logic. The speaker analyzes Instagram's transition to "TV-style" content and LinkedIn's rigid SEO URL logic. The key takeaway is the importance of "Exact Title Match" to meet user intent while navigating platform-specific constraints like DM automation and hashtag limits.Chapter 6: The Podcasting Marathon [45:00 - End] The Milestone Logic. Highlighting the "eighth-episode hurdle" where 500,000 creators quit annually, the speaker discusses his 600-episode milestone and the necessity of IAB Tech Lab compliance. Long-term distribution success is a result of persistence and technical "due diligence."High-Value Quotes"Metadata... that's just another way of saying how do we get context out of this content. Those are attributes... that's the context to the content." - Favour Obasi-ike"A capital W has more weight than a small w. A capital L has more weight than a small l... that weight they carry is a pixel size digitally.""If somebody clicks and finds your content valuable, resourceful, accurate, and responsive, then anything that you're going to do from SEO to PPC ads... you're able to use consistently."Resources:Companies Passing Tech Lab Compliance Programs | Podcast Compliance DirectoriesHeadline Analyzer Tool: Write Better Headlines | Write Better Headlines HereSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today, we're joined by Tricia Maia, Head of Product at TED. We all know TED Talks — but behind the scenes, TED is undergoing a massive product transformation to adapt to a post-AI media landscape. In this episode, Tricia Maia, Head of Product at TED, pulls back the curtain on how they're solving the “discovery” crisis facing digital media today. Tricia shares: * Why “views” are dead: Explaining why TED is abandoning top-of-funnel traffic as their North Star metric and shifting focus to “depth,” completion rates, and account signups to combat volatile search algorithms * AI that actually scales: How TED is using advanced AI auto-dubbing — not just subtitles — to clone speakers' voices into other languages, driving 2-3x better performance * The “gap” strategy: The challenge of connecting a decentralized ecosystem of free users and volunteers at TEDx with an ultra-premium live experience that can cost up to $12,500 per ticket Links Tricia's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/triciamaia/ TED.com: https://www.ted.com/ Chapters 00:00: Introduction 01:51: TED's Media Landscape in an AI World 02:17: What does "Product" mean at TED? 04:24: How TED is Dealing with Challenges and Strategies in Media Discovery 14:59: Evolving Metrics and Goals Beyond Vanity Metrics Like Views 24:24: How TED is Connecting Digital and Event Audiences 32:22: TED's New AI Auto-Dubbing Initiative 37:14: Conclusion Follow LaunchPod on YouTube We have a new YouTube page (https://www.youtube.com/@LaunchPodPodcast)!

Bottom of the Funnel Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Things that I've noticed is bottom of that funnel results tend to match the top of the funnel activities. In other words, if you're 10% ahead of your goal and you look to your top of the funnel activities, you might say, Oh yeah, you know what, I do. I've got, I've been to 10% more networking events than I normally do. I've had 10% more one-on-ones. I've had 10% more, I went to that extra trade show I don't normally go to, or I stayed for that extra day. If you're behind, that tends to be the case too. We've seen a correlation between bottom of the funnel and, top of the funnel. In other words, if you're looking at your year and saying, I'm 20% behind, and you say, all right, let me, how many leads did I generate? Boom, not as many as I thought. How many phone calls did I make? A little bit less than normal. How many days of networking did I do? Ooh, that's right, I skipped that whole week on vacation. I didn't go to those three events. And we tend to find that you're, oh, I didn't make that many outbound calls, or I didn't do that many emails, or I didn't send as many check-in text messages with my existing client base as I normally do. They tend to correlate. I'm down 10% on the bottom of the funnel. I tend to be down 10% top of the funnel. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.

In today's episode, we're digging into one of the most overlooked levers in mobile growth: the App Store page itself. Developers obsess over UA budgets, creative variations, and dashboards — yet leave untapped conversion sitting on the table simply because the storefront experience isn't aligned with how users actually arrive. To get clarity on what really moves the needle, we're sharing with you our App Talks interview with Vivian Dang, Senior Director of Accounts & Client Services at Gummicube. Vivian breaks down why most teams still treat their App Store presence as static, why aggregate conversion numbers hide more than they reveal, and how to rebuild your storefront around traffic sources, intent, and user expectations. Across this conversation, Vivian shares practical strategies you can apply immediately — from structuring A/B tests that produce meaningful learnings, to building custom product pages that match funnel entry points, to using in-app events and promotional content to re-engage segments. If you want a clearer playbook for improving conversion and getting more value from every campaign, this episode is a must-listen. Let's dive in: here's Vivian Dang, Senior Director of Accounts & Client Services at Gummicube. Today's topics include: Why aggregate conversion rates hide the real performance issues inside your App Store funnel How to use custom product pages and custom store listings to tailor the storefront to each traffic source Leveraging in-app events and promotional content to surface new features and re-engage lapsed users Building disciplined, hypothesis-driven A/B testing frameworks that deliver continuous learnings The key metrics that actually matter on iOS and Google Play — and how to measure impact channel by channel Links and Resources: Vivian Dang on LinkedIn Gummicube website Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Quotes from Vivian Dang “If you're not tailoring your App Store experience to each of the different traffic funnels that exist, then you're literally just spending money to drive users to the page and then lose them.” “A/B testing needs to be something where it's extremely structured, where you have hypotheses going in so that you can get clearer answers at the very end of it.” “You should be taking stock of every single individual channel and source you have so you can best prepare yourself for launch and ultimately for your long-term success.” Host Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry since 2012
Closed Circuit Selling: Why the Funnel Is Breaking Your GTMMost go-to-market teams aren't failing on effort. They're failing on architecture.In this episode, we sit down with Charles Needham (co-author of Cold Call Algo) alongside Adem Manderovic (CRO School) to break down why the linear funnel is the biggest sacred cow in sales, and why Closed Circuit Selling is the better model for modern outbound.We unpack incentives, silos, CAC payback insanity, and why “meetings booked” became a broken religion. Then we get practical. How to run outbound as market learning. How to capture timing signals. And how to build feedback loops that actually make marketing, sales, and customer success stronger together.Tune in and learn:+ Why buyer journeys are non-linear, and funnels create blind spots+ How to shift from meetings quotas to conversation-driven market validation+ Why intent data can't replace first-party conversationsIf you're a B2B marketer or revenue leader, this is the blueprint for building a GTM system that compounds instead of churns.-----------------------------------------------------
