the pure number is always nice; has a BAM! factor. But what is important (at least to me) is time on site, interaction , bounce rates, returning visitors etc... - I don't know if you can even get a synopsis of how good or bad a site is doin

proflower does a lot of "follow up" in the name of repeat business. I get emails daily like "Please accept your savings" and "please fill out our survey" and my favorite "Your $15 shipping rebate" - all scams and wasting my time. I will nev

I think this issue would come to the fore front' with an example where you surf to all these places, and let the top bar ads pile up - then screen shot it ... - the campaigns slogan "If we all acted like Digg and About.com" - If this keeps

I find the keyword in the domain does help, but it really isn't worth chasing to the point of having a stupid name.. What you really want is an "exact phrase match" I.e. "On sale laptops" gets searched for 19.9k times a month https://adwor

am I the only one who avoids little $4/mo charges like the plague? They seem to easy to forget, and of course they never remind you - that your paying them .... - Just my opinion - Don't get me wrong, the subscription model is amazing; and

It depends on how much you care about this project, is it your baby? or just something that happened? - if its your baby, you say - "You can link to my site from yours..I'll even design you a nice big banner ;)" and thats the best you can d

I think the move to B'CC Techrunch and the move to send a blind acquisition offer off of "inferences" are equally stupid and one action might deserve the other.

his key point is that "twitter knows which of our blog post was most popular" - ... So does Google (links coming in, perhaps even twitter links) also they use user click data; Google knows son, Google knows.

What I find interesting is - that Google is the only company who didn't lose ground when all others were; they just "grew" slower. I am a slow believer in building businesses as a 'slow burn' that lasts. (I know goog is the best slow burn e

I'm pretty sure the $25k is for those who Google and/or other sponsors don't give a scholarship to. Its a nice way of saying if we haven't invited you, you can come; but BYOB (bring your own bank)

I enjoyed the story thanks for sharing, a couple things I didnt get is why the author "was trying to avoid this.." and why "after some exchanges its best to share" - I bet he feels some ownership, over the product. - The 2nd option is this

I think this is direct competitor to Twitter; as it includes not only location but a spot for 'Im at starbucks' too; you can also have followers etc... - just seems to be a competitor; and not many people are seeing that I think.

I think your prices should be $5/month "blogger" then I would just rename the others and perhaps shift the price downward too, "startups" will probably do this themselves with google alerts or other services. I think your market is small; I
