News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

spada

are you offering a flat CPM rate or RON on a specific site?
or helping ensure that each story gets some play in the media vs. one period of outrage and then back to business as usual.
can you expand on this? i'm curious how the process worked given that arbitrage usually doesn't work that way.

Re:The power of reddit on Wednesday June 25, 2014 @09:09AM (#7943634)
true but what other sites offer such a quick sanity test as reddit and HN?
I wonder how much of a stir this would be causing if a wealthy "outsider" wasn't doing this but a local that deemed the house not suitable to their needs.

She hardly comes off as the type of person that wants affirmative action. I'm not being a white knight here but that comment is kinda insulting to her.
Agreed. Rebrand it now to target those who sit all day.

will there be an API for this?
crap like this one reason why buying quality traffic is difficult.
Likely because if you have any interest in tech valuations you know what Automattic is.
Agreed. I own a stupid website that's getting some attention recently. it's so much easier talking to reporters and other interested parties when i'm not pretending it'll have any impact beyond making some people laugh and perhaps cringe.

Seems that GA is always lower than Piwik and adsense is always much lower than GA.

"As of April 25, 2014, the replacement process will be available in the U.S. and Canada. In other countries, it will be available as of May 2, 2014."

Re:Your Friendly Neighborhood Drug Dealer on Wednesday April 23, 2014 @01:57PM (#7635688)
it's because the angle you mention has been covered plenty of times. watch a few episodes of Drugs Inc. and you'll see.

this covers the end we rarely hear about and is far more interesting as it's far removed from the street.

I suspect you're getting a lot of traffic. it's going on 3 minutes for load. I've tried both chrome and firefox on os x on a high speed connection.

Jesus. You burn 3hrs a day in commuting? How long have you been doing this?

Ask HN: Is there fraud here? If not, what is the motivation?

http://www.zapbux.com/viewads.phpI own one of the site being targeted but don't buy crappy traffic through such services.What possible motive could there be to driving free traffic to one of my sites? Interesting that many sites are within industries with CPCs would be quite high.50k referrals since the start of April is not small. I cannot see a reason why anyone would do this.

i recall reading something a couple years ago that ~800,000 apps on the store have zero downloads.

average means very little here.
