oh please...the new version of Top Gear has been out since 2002...if you haven't caught on that the new Top Gear is different from the "old Top Gear" after 9 years...then you haven't been watching

agreed, Top Gear is pretty much THE car enthusiast show world wide...by suing them Tesla is pretty much attacking 80-90% of their potential customers. This will do nothing but hurt them...especially after Top Gear retaliates.

wow these guys are such whiners. Top Gear makes fun of everyone...and it's not like they hinted at something that would never happen Other manufacturers are mature enough to understand that TG is a comedy show about cars, and their stunts a

surprisingly I saw 2 of their competitors advertise on TV last week...so maybe the business model isn't dead just yet

That's way more than it's worth. That keyword term only gets 210 searches a month, and there is no real way to monetize it...short of just doing a blog. I'd say that's worth 200 bucks tops...and that's with bidding to drive up the price...s

won't happen why? Simple..exact match bonus. An exact match domain has a much MUCH easier time getting to the #1 spot in search results. This is why creditcards.com outranks all of the big banks.

because there are very few women in tech, and that number goes down even further if you just consider those that are black.

when these domains start being available to the general public, all the good stuff will already be taken.

100K in student loans for a doctor? Not even close...that's what just a normal bachelor grad tends to have(well those that go to private schools). For a doctor, those numbers are much more closer to 250-300K. And that's not even the worst p

interesting stuff I was under the impression that YC introductions were pretty much the equivalent of "hey, here are some guys...invest in them"...but here you can see that there is a lot more pressure....bordering on begging

the problem is that everyone is focused on SEO, so new startups have a hard time ranking for anything decent, since all their competitors that they are trying to overthrow have spent decades link building.

and if he linked it normally, chances are someone(maybe even you) would post, bitching that they don't want to read 10 pages of an article and to just link to the print page the next time.

that always seemed weird to me. The constitution guarantees inalienable rights, yet apparently the government thinks that you can sign your rights away

those numbers are probably off...I mean reddit can be considered a very popular consumer internet product(top 150 on Alexa)...and they just hit 1 billion page views per month, and they are having trouble paying for more than 5 people. So if

it took Google how many years to slap down content farms? And they let the biggest offender off the hook...I guess it's just a coincidence that eHow is the biggest content farm and generates quite a bit of money for Google.

by vaksel 16y ago
my problem with eHow is that it's very common to search for: "how to do X" And get Google results with eHow as #1 with title: "How to do X" And when you click it, you get..."you can't do X" When in reality you actually can do X...all you ha

anyone else really surprised that ehow isn't on that list? I mean seriously they are some of the worst offenders I've seen.

back of napkin math: 50% goes to vendors, so that's down to 380mm 4,000 employees at average of $50K, comes out to 200mm 180mm remaining...they advertise pretty aggressively, so let's say they spend 100mm on ads(probably less). Which still

If quality was your only concern, you'd just charge a one time $5 fee. So I'd say greed is at least somewhat involved. And yes giving away coupon codes is good and well...but then you run into the quality problem that you use as an excuse t

that's a good problem to have...that means you are actually popular enough for people to exploit....then you can introduce the paid pricing. for now you can easily moderate postings yourself.

not when the service suffers from a chicken and egg problem. Why would someone pay money to list their job on a site with no traffic? Why would someone go to a site like that if you only have a dozen jobs? This can be something good...but t

charging before you have mass adoption is a recipe for disaster...you should wait until you have mass adoption then make a premium listing and charge for that. As it stands now, you'll have a dozen or so jobs, interest will fade, and employ

you have a really good domain...unfortunately it's not really all that applicable for your actual product, and will just lead to confusion
