    Facebook CPC suggested bid INSANELY high. Why?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I've also noticed an increase in both just traffic, and also CPA's the last week or so, particularly the last few days. I'm wondering if it might be something to do with the new text-in-images rules and rankings [no more 20% text limit, now your reach [and price] gets penalized/taxed based on a...

    Facebook Ads - CPA

    I think i get what you mean...if so - the 'CPA goal' is basically you telling FB to optimize your ad in terms of serving it to people who are more likely to convert/perform an action. You're basically paying a fluid CPM [assuming you choose optimized CPM as a bid method], and will be billed for...

    How to raise 5M on Kickstarter and Become an instant Millionaire

    HOT! 
    The thing that somewhat baffles me is how they seem to have run out of money and be looking for investment [and presumably aren't sitting on a hill of inventory]...so they can produce/deliver products that people already paid for. [according to that article]. Begs the questions where did...

    Tips for Marketing

    MARKETING 
    Pick one platform/method and master it - ex. facebook newsfeed, google search. Track everything using google analytics, ad network conversion pixels etc. Read Ca$hvertising. Keep trying, testing and tweaking based on your analytics data. Jon Loomer's blog is good [specifically for Facebook]...

    The Baby Sitter - Execution not working as planned

    HOT! MARKETING 
    To test your new comparison I'd actually not take anything away to start with, add it to the page under its own how does our product compare section. If you have a bit of baseline conversion data already don't change a lot of things at once or you end up not knowing what caused improvement or...

    The Baby Sitter - Execution not working as planned

    HOT! MARKETING 
    You got it, perfect :) it's just to try and illustrate visually and simply why ppl. Should buy your product instead of competing one. What you did looks great :)

    The Baby Sitter - Execution not working as planned

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Here's a grab of what i mean, sorry if i didn't explain very well was on my phone. In this example its a supplement product being compared to others, using ingredients as the comparing factor - you'd use other features or benefits of your product, where yours is better - for example you offer...

    Twitter on the Deathwatch

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I have no axe to grind with twatter as a product or platform, it's great for real time news type things but I've been saying for years as a business it's horrible. The biggest business way they screwed up IMHO has been the ad platform. As an advertiser think about how much fb knows about you...

    The Baby Sitter - Execution not working as planned

    HOT! MARKETING 
    If you want to to try and illustrate the benefits and pluses of yours over competition, and even differing products with similar end use then a comparison chart in your landing page that clearly and visually highlights how your product is better is a very powerful thing. Simple grid, products...

    The Baby Sitter - Execution not working as planned

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Ahh sorry, now i get it - yes, for sure both our little boys would love to play with these now they're big enough to throw them around/build walls/forts/jump on-off etc. (at 2 & 4 they're doing this with anything they can move that isn't nailed down now). A group situation like a daycare etc...

    The Baby Sitter - Execution not working as planned

    HOT! MARKETING 
    OP - FYI, the text link to your product site in your forum sig is wrong [text is right, link is wrong] - you're actually sending ppl like me who clicked on it to www.thebabysitter.com [which is for sale], not the .co like it should be :p Hopefully you didn't typo anywhere more important! :) I...

    Having doubts and 2nd thoughts :/ should I continue??

    MINDSET 
    Sorry to say but the website doesn't to my mind meet the quality of a high-end travel agent/concierge. From what i saw your service also seems to be a travel agent, not a full service concierge. Get rid of the blathering crap and explain the services you offer [doesn't seem to currently exist...

    A ridiculous idea

    IDEA 
    Interesting idea - maybe think of an app that basically turned your phone 'dumb' for X hours or days? Then there's none of the cumbersome mailing, storing, 'you lost/broke my phone' stuff. I wouldn't want to send a phone anywhere from a privacy/data security POV either (poss. data security legal...

    Hi from the Ukraine

    INTRO 
    Good luck with your ebook project and I hope you succeed. Stick at it and don't get disheartened :) Maybe you could write about your experiences of living through the war? Or fictional adventures of a group of soldiers fighting in it? (have a look at books by the author Sven Hassel to see what I...

    Announcing: Google Domains (Should GoDaddy Be Worried?)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This has been around as invite only for a long while - maybe a year or so, I got an invite code to use it but found I actually couldn't as it was US only. And it still looks like it's US only now they've finally opened it up. Reasonable fit with some existing products like the business apps...

    Wal-Mart eCommerce

    They've made pretty good efforts up here in Canada - pretty good new responsive website, prices are good [essentially same as in-store, same promotions], sometimes more choice/availability than in-store, free shipping on ALL orders, you can literally buy anything pretty much other than fresh...

    Backlinks Scam

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    In your scenario above, it's not necessarily about buying shitty links - you may not want to open that can of worms with competing sites, other website owners etc. it's about "reputation management" where you would create press releases, branded parasites, blogs, accounts etc that will naturally...

    Questions regarding Google Adsense and other alternatives to monetize your website / blog

    MARKETING 
    Also if you think about the visitor numbers, it's not much surprise you're not making anything. Say, 500 ad impressions a day. The average display ad maybe averages 0.05-0.1% CTR if you're lucky. So, that's one click on an amazon ad on your site, every 2-4 days. Taking this further, cold...
