First, why would it be free if you're providing detailed reports? That doesn't make sense to me. Is there a more attractive revenue model? I thought of quantcast.com when I first read your post but I'm not sure that's what you really mean.

Thanks Jason. The plugin is, well...just okay right now to be honest. It does the job, but it's not near the level it's going to be in the upcoming weeks.

It's going through a major overhaul that is going to make it easier to use and that will also include more intelligence features - I hope you'll stick around until then.

And you're right, it's more for bloggers who have content. We plan to branch out to other types of advertising in the future that would be a better fit for the latter.

Thanks again.

Hey Brain, long time no see!

Thanks for commenting and the feedback. A/B testing the points you mentioned is on top of the list. Hope all is well.

Best,

Wait, was that a compliment? I forgot what they felt like for a second! ;-)

Regardless, thanks for the feedback and kind words. We're targeting mid-tier bloggers who are already advertising but don't know how to leverage it or don't have the time to spend on affiliate marketing. We're already making money so it's been working so far. Re: suggesting links to other blogs, it's actually a crowded space and not what we went to get into.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the feedback. Noted on points one and two. Re: 3 - I'm not sure what you mean. No, we don't do rollover popups. 4 - will run some A/B tests.

re 3: what I meant was "do your links disrupt the user experience unexpectedly?". I'm sure you've seen sites where you rollover a word with a double green underline (often keywords sniffed from search engine Referer headers) and some annoying ad popup appears, convering the content. That sort of stuff.

If you don't that, kudos to you.

I went through 4 domain changes already...haha, got any ideas? :)

A more simplistic homepage sounds necessary. Thanks for the feedback!

It must be the three boxes you're referring to - I tried to make them keyword-rich for SEO but maybe I went overboard. I'll work on it. The domain we're definitely sticking with but maybe if we change some other things - more white space, get rid of "make more money", it'll help with the spammy sense.

Thanks for the feedback.

SEO doesn't really work like that.

No, but part of it? Yes.

Like a crumb to a cake.

The crumbs together make up the cake.

I see that, thanks for the heads-up!

Good question.

Nope. The blogger is getting 3 choices in their Settings pages where they specify the keywords they want to link to:

1) Brand names like Apple, Best Buy, etc. 2) Product names like Dell Laptop, etc. 3) Generic names like Indian flights.

Linking is going to occur automatically depending on the selection (this is an upcoming feature). We don't have keywords that are too generic to avoid the spammy look.

This is taking some time but we're also working on relating the keywords to the overall context of the post so only the relevant keywords are linked.

so, if I write "apple", no link, and if I write "Apple"... what do you link? Apple.com, the homepage?

And what about "Dell laptop", where will that take to? A page on Dell's site where they talk about all their laptops (and not other products they sell)? Not an easy task.

It would have to be Apple.com and for Dell laptop, it'd take them to search results showing the dell computers in stock or the specific model if specified. It's not easy but increases conversions and we're almost ready to roll it out.

Thanks for the feedback. Yep, we'll make the content more general when we launch other platforms.

The 1-2-3 steps were supposed to reinforce the name but making the connection can be hard. I'll work on it.
