GiveYC: One month of free advertising space

15 points by khangtoh 19y ago

I wanted to repost this since my last submission was on Sunday and might not have got to the people I had wanted to help - BootStrappers. Update: There is no catch! You do NOT have to link back to Simplebucket or anything like that. Here's my pitch: One month of free advertising on my new site Simplebucket , url here: http://www.simplebucket.com/explore/photos Here's the traffic that we have doing since our relaunch on March 20 to April 7. We are on track to getting more than 10000 visitors/month considering its only 17days from March 20th. Traffic Stats (March 20 - April 7th) Absolute Unique: 6000+ Visitors: 6669 PageViews: 14400 What do I need to do to submit my startup? Add a comment here with your startup url and a brief description of what your startup does and the comment with the most points get the spot. How this? *oh, I forget to add, I will reserve the right to select the next highest comment if the winner is a competing startup (ie. photo hosting ), I hope you understand.

well if there is no catch I submit my new site Embought www.embought.com . It's a shopping search engine that donates 50% of its profits to charity.
- inovica 19y ago
  Like it. You get my note for the charity side alone!

    Thanks, I've been working non-stop for the last couple months to get it up and running. I'm in the home stretch (I'll hopefully 'launch' in the next week) and I'm starting to turn my attention to promotion and marketing.

This is not meant as a dis, just a curiousity question. Is ~2 page views/unique typical for a photo sharing site? At first glance, that seems low.
- khangtoh 19y ago
  Simple. we just had the explore feature up this weekend, before there was no other ways to see other uploaded photos.

http://bug.gd http://bug.gd - Global error search engine and database. Find an error? Search for it on bug.gd. If it's solved already, great, you're all set. If not, we email you in 48 hours and ask you to share your solution for the next lost soul. Long term, we're trying to change how all software and operating systems handle errors. There's absolutely no reason it shouldn't be automatic that we're able to find people who ran into errors and how they got past them. Why are we all wasting so much time solving problems that have already been solved by others?

I'd like to submit http://www.askurpals.com http://www.askurpals.com. A simple review/question-and-answer service that lets you control who gets to answer your question using your existing mailing lists like your yahoo groups or office mailing lists. Goal is to produce collection of quality answers from trusted sources for the community with no spam or trolls

http://www.thephotostream.com http://www.thephotostream.com The Photo Stream delivers buzz and newsworthy content to the masses through a rich, eye-opening photo interface. This is a good fit for the free advertising space because although The Photo Stream is in the "photo" space -- we're not a photo host.
- khangtoh 19y ago
  I like photostream, so I've put in my vote for it.

I'd say it competes more with the likes of 43things.

http://www.revzilla.com http://www.revzilla.com - RevZilla Motorsports - an ecommerce startup While what we are doing probably is not incredibly interesting to the new.yc demographic (selling motorcycle gear online), the technology behind it (rails + pgsql) and our end goal (becoming the #1 supplier online for the powersports industry (big market)) should be. Our startup launched about 7 months ago and is starting to turn the corner into profitability. Trying to get traffic up anyway we can so a link would be much appreciated!

http://www.dailygreenproject.com http://www.dailygreenproject.com Daily Green Project offers environmental earth friendly products while donating 10% of every sale to various non-profit and eco-friendly organizations. You shop with the earth in mind, so we then take that mentality further in donations and service projects in making a difference. This will begin to positively affect people who shop online as well as those who receive donations from the 10% we donate from each sale. So the strength of Daily Green Project is threefold: giving money to something you believe in, positively effecting the environment around you, and donating to charities that help to make the world a better place for everyone. Daily Green Project members will also be doing hands on work to help non-profit organizations like Habitat for Humanity thrive in their giving. To support this program, we will take $1 of every sale and put it in our “DGP Fund”. This fund is for us to use as if we were one of the organizations you chose to donate to.
