Few truer words have been said. Start with TextMate then work your way to Vim later.

I've been an affiliate for most dating sites for a long time. We had a really long run for a while with eHarmony and did a crapton of PPC for several years. In the end I found a broken industry with players who were far less interested in p

Hmm. Microsoft provides the operating system itself and supporting software and infrastructure for that business. Their business model is/was to drive adoption and standardization of the computer operating system by and large with Windows.

"App Store would not necessarily do anything more to push my app than the Internet as a whole does" - I see what you mean here. I would say however that it does provide real distribution, but the onus is still on you to push that further, a

Glad I can help. I understand your desire with helpful/unobtrusive ads, but I would just caution you to not leave money on the table. Do some testing to find that balance - let the users help you decide :) Best of luck!

Ehhhh...Rant incoming, you have been warned: "Referral Traffic Is Lost With Apps" - Since when? Have an interstitial or header saying "get our iPad app for the best experience!" People can send people to your site on a tablet, no one says t

Ahh, ok. Hmm, interesting model from those guys. Problem with that is, as il said, ads that make money are typically not ads that you like. Now, to differentiate from the mobile side, there are reams of networks you can use. The whole 1-ad

One other comment: mobile affiliate networks are still in their infancy and many are just shady fly-by-night companies. In general, do not trust them.

It really depends on what you're doing. The disadvantage with platforms like decktrade is you have a different set of rules from traditional CPC networks like AdMob. As it is a direct exchange, you're typically dealing with fill rates that

I actually live off the passive income (I've been an affiliate full-time for almost 4 years). While it has been quite a ride and I can't really share my most profitable sites/tools (without my wife - who is also my business partner - gettin

I'm enjoying this tool, highly recommended.

Over the years I've found that Conversion Optimizer is not actually as good as dedicated bid algorithms like Kenshoo or Omniture Search Center. However, it does have the advantage of being free. If you're doing small scale stuff (less than

Actually, I feel more comfortable now with Twitter after this. Why? They have come out and said it. We know their direction now and what they intend: don't make another client, but make a /unique way of using twitter itself/ If anything, th

Check out Kickstarter. If you can provide a good pitch on it and ask for your starting round you may indeed be able to get it. Post again here once it is online and I'll pledge :)

Savvy marketing on the part of EngineYard, but I'm not leaving heroku either :)

Interesting little tool; I'm here working with my devs, will see if it makes it easier to share all the little things we find when hacking away :)

Approval of the airstrikes notwithstanding, it doesn't really mean much. They should have done this days ago if they intended to do anything at all; most likely this is a gesture lacking any real substance. Of course, that could change at a

I read through all the comments to make sure no one else has responded. I'm more of a Perl developer then a Ruby developer, but these are my observations of the differences between the two. 1. Perl Versioning is more thought out. It tends t
