No offense taken, we looked to learn from Squidoo a great deal and Seth sent me a couple supportive notes along the way that meant a lot to me. I still believe cost-per-action is the future of indirect revenue on the Internet and as fraud c

No problem, only about 5% of our active users are contributors (this is pretty typical of user generated content sites as I understand it, although we always tried to make it higher). The rest are readers/subscribers

I don't think it is disrespectful to search their emails though, Harvard is fundamentally an institution funded by donors. This scandal majorly damage the reputation of the institution and was embarrassing to high profile donors and alumni.

This seems really silly to me. In large institutions it is very common for this to happen, and the email accounts and all the content in them belongs to Harvard. This is the case with pretty much any employer. A clever faculty member lookin

To be clear, I'm saying if you have never hit it you are in trouble - not that you have to hit it every week. For example, if even on your PR day (launch, etc) you didn't hit 10% growth for that week then I'd worry (this does happen).

You make excellent points. Our existing users signed up to make money, so for them (remember this was an email to our registered user base) paid posts is probably the most valuable thing we can offer. Going forward we probably won't focus o

We are not going the low quality route, we are headed for direct competition with Medium and blogging networks/platforms like it (we are keeping pace with them on traffic to our articles and plan to continue doing so). There is an undeniabl

Dan is right, and most affiliate programs we worked with were quite wary of Referly. I am writing a pretty in-depth piece on the affiliate world, this model, the potential for someone else to execute well in this space, etc. I think our con
