Show HN: Engineering team accidentally changes SEO elements...so I built a tool
I can't tell you how many times some folks in engineering/UI/product teams accidentally change/break on-page SEO elements (or analytic tracking codes) - so I built a tool to monitor pages and let me know when a change is detected.It's probably best suited for larger companies that have multiple teams and frequent release cycles. It's easy to forget to verify every single element.I don't care...

Yup, you're right. Featured + advertisers found on gun forums should solve it.
Time for me to think/ask an advertiser about what he wants (i.e. ability to login and see impression/click counts, etc.) and what the CPM rate(s) should be.
I appreciate the time you took to think through that.

Holy smokes- GREAT reply and complete with a mockup!
I'll start loading up some of those 300x250 units. I guess my hesitation in the past was that I didn't know if those ads would adapt to screen sizes/orientation and the units would break the layout but I might as well find out now. I'm still scratching my head on the gun section though since it's very poplar but I can't run AdSense in that category (against TOS), but I guess direct deals, CJ, and featured guns would work there. You mention an Ad Manager for getting direct deals... Is this someone I hire from a job board or are there ones you can recommend?

Had some earlier success with reddit ads and even made it to the Top 20 (all time) on a decently sized subreddit that I manually submitted to. Never heard of Traffic Junky but it makes total sense. Thank you for the suggestions! Brilliant.

You're right - the categories currently on the site are usually more popular with males than females.
To be honest, the design is the result of me fumbling around photoshop. In the future I hope to get a real designer involved ;)

At the moment, I'm running only ebay ads incorporated into the following areas:
- 2 units per page on category pages like: http://www.lionseek.com/watches
- 2 units per page on brand pages like: http://www.lionseek.com/watches/brand/seiko
- 12 units per page on individual item pages (found in the 'similar items on the web' section/slider) like: http://www.lionseek.com/watches/brand/seiko/fs-seiko-6309-50...
- 4 units on a search result page that has no matches like: http://www.lionseek.com/watches?seller_id=-1&has_photo=true&...

I have an Adsense account, Commission Junction account, and an Amazon Associates account it's just that none of these have been implemented. I can get self-serve ads implemented quickly. The site is responsive so the ads would have to work with a couple of breakpoints.
An ideal scenario is someone saying 'Stick a XYZ ad unit here stylized in the following way. Stick ABC ad unit here in the following format. This ad platform (XYZ) might help for testing and maximizing revenue.'
If you are confused about what the site is/does then take a look at: http://www.lionseek.com/p/faq
Any suggestions would be TRULY appreciated!

Angular – Performance/Crawl-ability – Json to Jekyll – Thoughts?
I've considered a rebuild of Lionseek.com (from CodeIgniter to ROR + AngularJS). The site has been a nighttime/weekend project for awhile, but receives over 1 million pageviews/month organically and I've been lucky because it continues to grow.Since most of the traffic is organic and most of the list/grid pages are updated every minute or so, AngularJS is a little concerning for crawl-ability...
Any company that specializes in basic (i.e. dumb/feature) cell phones?
It seems like there will be a growing demand for basic cell phones as more and more people want to focus on the present moment and essentially choose to disconnect in order to reconnect.I just picked up a Nokia 515 (1 month standby time), good looks, decent antenna/speakerphone, can send/receive texts, it does have basic email functionality and ultra-basic web access but I don't use them.My...
Matt Cutts: How is the link structure between .gov (US) domains seen by Google?
Hi Matt,I was wondering if you could provide some insight on an inbound link question? I'm specifically curious about the treatment of .gov domains.An inbound link from one .gov to another .gov does not seem difficult to obtain. On the other hand, an inbound .gov link to a .com is typically much harder to obtain or 'earn'.This ease of leveraging authority among government sites seems like a...
