    Why is it OK for you to STEAL from me?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    It's mine to manipulate any way I want - you offered it for free to me as the consumer. You have no reasonable expectation of control over content that is delivered to my device. What if Chrome started to automatically remove all ads that weren't served by a Google ad platform? Would I be...

    One thing that I wish the internet would do would be to display intelligent ads. (disclaimer: I haven't clicked through everything on your site, so if you do this I apologize) If someone takes a BMI calculation on your site, and they come up with overweight, I'd like to see a highly targeted...

    But I used the newspaper's trucks, printing press, expensive paper and ink, reporters...do you really see a difference? I don't come to your site - I request information from your servers, and your servers deliver it to me just like a newspaper delivers to my door. There is no additional expense...

    Yes, and unlike shoplifting or skirting around DVD copying controls it is not illegal to do so. Until the DCMA is amended to prevent adblocking software, I can't see how you can make comparison.

    I'm pretty sure Nielson does statistically-justifiable audience size analysis with some pretty good confidence intervals for radio ads. Otherwise an ad at 2am would cost the same as an ad during rush hour. But the point remains - if I read a free newspaper (like they have here in DC on the...

    But don't you get paid through the exact same method? You've offered to your advertisers eyeballs only. Just like newspapers and radio (ears).

    Just to play devil's advocate @healthstatus , do you or have you ever fast forwarded through commercials on your DVR? If you were at a friend's house, and they were fast forwarding through commercials, would you consider them a freeloader (sure, they might pay for cable, but that cost doesn't...

    Analyzing Landing Page Data Help Needed

    EXECUTION 
    Make an insiders post and put the link of the landing page up there (not indexed by search engines). Maybe we can figure it out by looking at it.

    http://unbouncepages.com/racealong-pricing-landing/ I made some additional changes. I am assuming this is my last revision before paying for traffic. As @LightHouse suggested, I don't want to get stuck in analysis paralysis. Things I changed: -rounded corners on the picture -better logo...

    Loving Crabs?

    Not sure if this helps, but when I was an EMT working 80+ hours a week in the busiest EMS system in the country, I literally forgot that there were people in the city that weren't dying/sick/drug-seekers/liars/stupid/etc. It took me moving to DC for grad school to re-remember that there was a...

    @RogueInnovation First, rep transfered for thinking about this in your sleep. Crazy! Thanks! I like this kind of language. This is one of the things I'm going to split test - the fear vs. postive copy. I'm really curious to see which one works, as I'm persuaded by both equally.

    Will do. I figured I'd have to go this route as the groups are different enough that if I tried to speak to all at once, I'd muddle the message.

    My competition charges double for half the benefits. No one is doing personal accountability, no one is doing training competitions. (or at least they aren't combining these and the other pieces of the puzzle I've put together.) And frankly there are some big name competitors who have launched...

    Any thoughts on the form and CTA? I know I'll need to include those in the testing, but I really struggled with what CTA I should use coming out of the gate, and whether I should just ask for someone's email address, or have them fill out some more fields plus their email address. My thought was...

    It took me longer than I expected to manipulate the pricing tables and find a stock image of a downtrodden runner. I thought I could finish up at work today, but unbounce won't open on the system here, so I'll have to finish after my kid goes to bed tonight.
