yeah I got a bunch of those from trying to contact all the different blogs. it's also important to note that many of these pay to play sites have no actual traffic. Someone wanted me to pay $300 to get featured on a site with supposedly 5K

if Angie's list was legit, they'd let you see the names of the companies and how many reviews they had before you signed up. the fact that you get 0 information before you signup, just tells me that this is just a scheme, where they trick y

stuff like that is fine if you write a big essay once a month...but good luck making that a daily publication. there are only so many topics you can cover, before you tun out.

would you read a 5000 word story on Google Instant right now? I wouldn't, since that topic has been beaten to death already.

actually I think it's a very bad idea for tech news. email is slow, any news you cover is old news, that will get scooped by the blogs way before you run it. A week's time for his editors, means that any news they cover will be severely out

those factors would affect the CTR, not volume. adblock would make sense, but redditors were pretty heavy users 6 months ago too. my guess is that due to adblock there is only so much traffic for reddit to give to advertisers(i.e. something

this post just shows the value of YC funding. When techcrunch writes about your startup, not only do they give you a link for your company site, but they also give you a SEO specific link "email analytics" which will pay a lot of dividends

well you already outrank them, so maybe you are paying them to get the customers you already got. how much are you spending per click there?

yeah those guys are scum Search for "recover notepad files" and the first Google result is "How to Recover an Unsaved Notepad File | eHow.com " and then the whole article is about how you can't recover the file...with 4 adsense links at the

good thing, since it means long term you'll get breathing room against any new people who decide to enter your space.

1. Is there a market 2. Do I need to teach people that this is important...or do I get to exploit existing demand? 3. Is there some sort of barrier to entry? 4. How long will it take to build a minimum viable product? 5. What the competitor

i don't know if he is one or not, he just sounds like one. and the relevancy is that social media experts have a vested interest in making people believe that Facebook is not a complete waste of time

spoken like someone who is a "social media expert" look this whole Facebook is the future of search is just plain nuts. People want instant results, they don't feel like asking "what colors does the Honda Civic come in?". The answer to that

this is the same crap we used to hear about myspace and friendster. Techcrunch needs to lay off the crack...facebook might be a billion dollar company...it might even be a 2 billion dollar company...but there is no way it'd beat Google. The

personally I found the manager's comment very condescending. 10 is just such a small number. it's like "yeah this guy is VERY important, I'd have to interview like 2 whole people to find someone as "good" as him"

yeah agreed, they have a subscriber base of 500 million. there are plenty of ways to monetize that with products. i.e. the rumored facebook phone

I think the main reason is because Google uses Python, so many of the top programmers learn it.

if I'm reading that right, it says you don't have to file taxes if your net earnings are less than $400. so I imagine you can always buy something at the end of the year to make your numbers come down to that.

seems like their mistake was ignoring yodlee and trying to make their own stuff...which lost them a lot of traction. had they launched with yodlee, Mint would have been nothing more but a "better designed wesabe" seems to me like they shoul

according to that he sold 230,441 copies which comes out to €2,292,887.95 euros. 1 euro = $1.36 USD so that comes out to $3,118,327.612 After all the fees and costs, that's 3 mil before taxes,

I think he'll be ok. Right now he is only selling to the early adopter crowd who doesn't mind the crappy graphics. Once he spends some money on graphic designers, he'll be able to get mainstream appeal. Once he has mainstream appeal, he can

looks can be changed, my guess is that the first thing he'll do is update the graphics to give the game mainstream appeal. right now people are playing for the gameplay...just like they do with WoW

their math is a little bit off, a copy sold every 3 seconds = 28,800 sales a day. Or 10.5 million copies a year. To tell the truth its pretty shocking how minecraft has taken off...the guy will probably end up making 100 million off the gam
