I think it's best for super early stage ventures. If you're much further along, it's going to be a bad deal and possibly deter any future investment in your company due to the dead money (lack of follow-on).

Poker is definitely an easier sell for that business model, since you can make money immediately by improving your poker game. Since chess doesn't have nearly the luck component, making money by gambling on chess is much more difficult

Never listen to your Adwords reps - they're usually extremely uninformed about anything except the Google party line.

First improvement: do this for every team ever. Then combine for all teams, first in an individual season, then try basing the win% iteratively based on more history. Based on these models, you should have some good examples of selection bi

Playing hard has very little to do with winning in baseball - oh, I didn't try hard so I didn't hit the ball? Or didn't take a walk? Or didn't watch the ball and it hit me in the head? I pitched 5 mph less due to mental effort? Well, now yo

Yeah, PECOTA isn't one of the best at all, it just has ranges for variance, which is an imprecise metric as no one knows what he's saying a percentile is under the model. What is luck and what is skill? Birnbaum is one of the best bloggers

I've not seen convincing evidence that negative seo works, besides a few sites where they were already super open to being penalized upon any review, or small sites without much seo holding up their few rankings. It's not likely to return m

I think it's very possible that google would push this out without thinking the quality of search would increase; if they think their PR will be able to continue controlling the message and getting discussion away from the potentially decre

Some terms don't display advertisements - if the combination of relevance and google's profit potential on a specific query is not above a certain level (which is always changing I'm sure based on yield management and user data tests), then

About.com got hit pretty hard by the Panda algorithm change - they have definitely been less prevalent in search recently, although they still appear to be reasonably profitable. As far as content farms go, they're one of the better ones?

Codecademy has far more links than code academy (.org) so that's not surprising - also, redirecting CodeAcademy.com may be helping them out.

if you're talking about CodeAcademy.org, they do seem to complain about it all the time.

Wouldn't it be fairly easy to get caught doing this? Especially if you did it multiple times, it seems obvious exploits in code you checked in would be traced back to the malicious engineer.

When you put the wildcards (DKI), it matches the keyword from your list of keywords, not the search query. So you'd have to put MeetingBurner on a list of keywords to have it show up here (which as others said, could be due to the Google Ke

I didn't think it was fawning, in fact quite the opposite - that some of these details were intended ironically, and the tone of the piece was actually more negative? Did I just read what I wanted to see?

Interestingly, the CEO of Cisco is from West Virginia and went to WVU - I believe he's one of the largest donors to WVU. (only know this because I'm also from WV, not suggesting any conspiracy here)
