"Cut the adwords and the digg/share widgets. They're not going to get you money or traffic, respectively, and they look trashy."
With all due respect, are you serious? Most AdWords users I've heard from have had fairly positive feedback on the system.
And beyond that, it's likely that pedalpete has spent several months and/or thousands of dollars from his own pocket building a useful web aggregator that provides free, easy to use, searchable data to the teeming masses. And you're telling him to get rid of his site's single, small source of income, because you think it looks trashy? I'm all for minimalism in UI design, but get real.
- danhak 18y agoI agree to an extent, but what Shawn might have meant is that the trade-off between cluttering the design and making a few cents/day right now isn't worth it. It might be a better strategy to keep the most clean, minimalistic approach during the infant stages then introduce adwords once there's a steady stream of traffic.
