Do you know if it's against the ToS to create image ads that resemble the text ads? I can see this working great, though split testing would be a bit harder since you wouldn't be able to tell which of the 'ads 'the user clicked.

The article points at a 7% reduction in clicks across the Google ad network between December and January, but if I do recall, Google recently edited the ads to where users had to click the links directly rather than the square that housed t

With the numbers I tend to play with, if it's enough to live off the interest comfortably for the rest of my life, sure. Then I can work on whatever I want with my time rather than avoiding projects because of the assumed inattention they w

I'd love it if I had time to sit down and critique your site's design, but I don't. However, I do think the idea is great. I'm not quite sure the name might is entirely relative to a powerful learning environment. It's the Z in 'learnz'. In

I think people simply have a habit of categorizing things to make them easier to understand and easier to remember. We associate many things with eras, generations, periods, dynasties, etc. The web is always evolving; it's just easier to co

This is pretty much what I had gathered previously; learning a bit for the sake of knowing every aspect of the business isn't enough to do the job with much excellence, but I think it could help a lot in understanding the problems my coders

I frequent www.wickedfire.com and www.offtopic.com (their webmaster section). I'm more involved in marketing and advertising than hacking and these are places I go to get and give information and insights (respectively). I try to stay away

Most of the site's I've made in the past have been tools to help my users, so the more a user is on the site, the more are getting at a personal level. Now if it were my blog or something similar, it's their time-I have no room to complain

I think having an internship at a powerful company is a great way to open doors in the future; you just may not realize it now. I say if you can manage your company AND intern at the same time, it's more than worth it. Being a young entrepr

Exactly. I'm currently in college and working on multiple startups. I've designed my schedule to where I start class at 2 or 3 PM every day, so i wake up at 6:50 and get on campus by 7:30 to work in one of the study areas on my projects. It
