These fuckers do this to us every year as well. Seasonal business also. They seriously asked us to fax them our URL. Assholes.

this thread of comments is laughably naive.
Re:Ask HN: Can niche ad networks work? on Thursday December 17, 2009 @12:50PM (#1001465)
hmm....what you're saying doesn't make much sense. niche networks charge premium CPMs (e.g. expensive to the advertiser) because they have to support their sales force and support staff. they are also generally not self service at all. adroll is way, way cheaper than a vertical niche network because it is self service. if you want to pay +$20/cpm for someone to pick sites from a list for you, definitely go with a niche vertical network. if you want a cheap self service option that has access to the same sites go with adroll.

Re:Ask HN: SEO gems? on Wednesday September 09, 2009 @12:37AM (#812553)
yeah sorry of that's ambiguous - i clarified the initial post above. by SEO gems i mean sites which have growth/user acquisition fueled entirely by users searching for stuff.

Ask HN: SEO gems?

i'm collecting a list of the most ingenious sites that are fueled entirely by search. my personal favorites are http://www.retailmenot.com and http://www.whocallsme.com . retailmenot definitely makes more money but whocallsme is hilarious and very useful.

Re:Ask HN: bring on the feedback (especially if you like gear) on Thursday September 03, 2009 @03:38AM (#801987)
thanks - glad you like it. we'll likely focus on outdoor gear for a while. hunting, fishing, etc. electronics could be a good area at some point but we're trying to stay focused.
sorry Snopes should have been in there too.
