Thanks for spotting this. It is done in-house, just had an error in our code. Should be fixed now.

Hey there, co-founder of ViralSweep here.

Liking a Facebook page was not a requirement to enter the giveaway. If you look at the section that shows the giveaway design, the only requirement was to enter your email address. The page they see after they enter contains the social options which are optional to complete.

Building a promotion isn't easy. ViralSweep helps businesses quickly and easily launch a giveaway to grow their audience: http://www.viralsweep.com

Looks like half the sites are down/have issues. Can't even login to my coinbase account without getting errors.

Instead of saying on the page 'pre-orders are coming tomorrow' you should have an email collection form there. You're likely getting a large amount of traffic and could be losing out on a lot of potential pre-orders because people will forget to go back to your page tomorrow. Just toss in an email collection form saying you'll notify people when pre-ordering opens. Otherwise, neat product.

Re:How Google Authorship decreased our traffic by 90% on Thursday May 30, 2013 @11:39AM (#5793154)
My question is, why did you add authorship sitewide? Authorship should be established only on jitbit.com/news/ where your blog is, NOT on your entire website. For example, if I search jitbit in google, your authorship photo is appearing for your domain, not good.

CPM advertising emails: What kind of scam is this?

Posted by massarog on Thursday April 11, 2013 @01:27PM
from the self-post dept.

So my company gets tons of emails like this and I usually always ignore them because every single one is the same format..some random no name marketing agency has a client with a large monthly budget."We have recently acquired a client interested in running a standard banner campaign on a CPM model. If possible, we would like to partner with you in running this campaign. I am currently...

Re:Show HN: Capture leads like never before on Wednesday March 27, 2013 @04:07PM (#5451684)
You certainly can give a trial, but say you wanted to give away one of your larger packages (i.e 1 year or 6 months of free service) then you could use a giveaway.
Re:Show HN: Capture leads like never before on Wednesday March 27, 2013 @03:42PM (#5451548)
Sweepstakes/contest marketing does actually create tons of leads, depending on how well you target it. For example, a company giving away their service (i.e. 6 months free) would be able to capture hundreds of people interested in that service, then have the opportunity to re-market to those that were not chosen as the winner.
Re:Show HN: Capture leads like never before on Wednesday March 27, 2013 @03:35PM (#5451517)
Hey, co-founder here. This is deliberate because many companies who run giveaways online are consumer brands and need a very visual medium, so we show the title by default, and then slide it out of the way to let the visuals do the talking.

Super awesome and very well done, just played with this for a couple minutes..love how you can choose the different platforms on the left and side and when you click on an element you can edit everything on the right hand side. How do you plan on monetizing this?

Well done, makes it simple and easy to make product landing pages.
