I agree, felt the same way when I hit that at the end.

In his defence though, to be fair, this article says:

1) What the problem was.

2) What he did.

3) What he found out.

4) What actions he took as a result that lead to the improvement.

That's a lot more than you get from other conversion experts I've seen (usually the write ups I see stop at (2) or (3) and you're left with the pay-for-more-info).

Seeing exactly what actions were taken for each of the things they found makes me err on the side of, yeah, this was a cool post, not just a sales plug.

It's really good to see this sort of stuff turning up on HN.

Yeah I agree. I probably should just have kept my mouth shut but I was just so disappointed when I saw that last line.

I was in fact trying to go after the ball not the man.
