I need a Sports Writer with link acquisition expertise
Do you already write for a Sports News website? Are you in a position to post links onto a webpage to direct traffic to another site? If so, please apply! I'm looking for someone to secure links to my client's site, either by integrating them into articles as anchor text or simply posting them as a clickable URL. It's easy as that. There are a couple of stipulations (such as a max number of links per site etc.), but I can discuss these with the successful candidates. Please note that there will also be opportunities to earn bonus payments for posting links on certain websites. To be clear, I won't be commissioning articles or helping you to create new relationships with sports news outlets. The candidate(s) will already write for one or more sites, and is therefore in a position to integrate links into their work or on a landing page. The payment is $14 per link. Although I'm more than happy to receive applications from those who write for websites based outside of North America, anyone with connections to U.S/Canadian websites will have a slight advantage! I'm eager to create a positive working relationship with whoever I'm working with, so please feel free to ask any further questions you may have. Thanks!

We are an accountancy practice (Optimise Accountants Ltd) that has already built a fully automated client confirmation workflow in Zoho CRM.

Full technical brief attached. Please read it before bidding. IMPORTANT: We will only consider bids from developers who have previously worked with the Companies House XML Gateway eFiling service specifically — not the Companies House REST API, and not general API developers.

12 days ago27 proposalsRemoteGA4 Event Spike Audit & Fix
Over the past few days, I’ve noticed an unexplained surge in event counts in Google Analytics 4, far exceeding our usual traffic trends. The spike likely comes from either aggressive bot traffic or an issue with a tag that’s firing too often. I haven’t made any changes to the tracking setup myself, but I can’t rule out that someone on the team may have tweaked Google Tag Manager or the hard-coded snippets without informing me. I need a GA4 specialist to dive in, identify which events are inflating the numbers, and trace the root cause. The goal is to reconfigure the setup so only legitimate user interactions are logged. This includes reviewing GA4 debug view, GTM preview mode, referral patterns, IP ranges, and trigger conditions to isolate the problem. TASKS: 1. Investigate and pinpoint which events are causing the inflated numbers. 2. Identify whether this is due to bots, misconfigured tags/triggers, or other GA4/GTM setup issues. 3. Correct the GA4 and GTM setup so that only genuine user interactions are tracked. 4. Validate the fix for at least 24 hours to ensure data accuracy. 5. Provide a short report summarizing your findings, the root cause, and the changes made. If you have extensive experience with GA4, GTM, GA Debugger, Looker Studio, or BigQuery. Kindly contact ASAP. Thanks
