It's DevOps so maybe this is blasphemy but there's plenty reasonably priced tools you can do this with? In my company we've been using Sitegainer for most clients recently.
Definate no.
However, although the OP specificly mentioned we shouldnt go into specifying success...idk, idk if it's worth mentioning or if this is a given to most people here, but personally I've felt it important to realize success (imo) cant be defined; it's a moving goal.
And the most...
Yeah this is an actually interesting topic in a kinda thought experiment way...
Considering the angles you brought up in the op, some random thoughts:
Other companies being closely named: for most people, this could be a non-issue, bit say they're planning for an exit in 1-3 years? Any...
Just a gut reaction, but probably works if you are selling (or want to seem like u are) snake oil?
Likely less effective if you're selling to any1 half-sharp or an entrpreneur ie. to some-one with their own money involved?
Probably good for the corporation mid-level dickheads whose sole...
@eliquid I fully agree on your logic on how to calculate CPA if one is doing proper remarketing/ppc, but how much are you putting weight on view-through? I´ve always considered it too easy to manipulate/too broad/too-much-of-a-catch all...
I understand the benefits of click-thru and attribution...
From what I´ve understood many here have done different kinds of joint ventures and are plenty experienced in the business side of things.
I´m approaching this from specific case POV, but I think some of the discussion could be interesting to others too.
If there´s anything that should be...
Got the subtle hint OP would prefer no wannabes chiming in but since I´m (barely) qualified according to the set standard, I feel more comfortable contributing instead of just asking. Nuke away if you feel that way, way more interested in your contribution than sharing mine..

They fucked up with the tracking, (in a perfect world) they should compensate you at least avg. EPC*hits. This is especially true if it took them multiple days to inform you you´re not eligible for commission. In a real world may need some leverage, ie. the advertiser/network giving a fuck...
Anyone allowing comments have data on comment rate on a reasonable sample?
I've always kind of half-assumed that for like 99% of sites any traffic etc consideration would be absolutely irrelevant? SEO&social algorithm impact? Have no idea - guess there's not much downside?
Sorry just skimming so maybe I misunderstood the last 2 posts, but what I was thinking is:
Driving traffic to your site for source/medium (etc) you use parameters whatever/something_else
Then use frosmo/optimizely (prob other options out there too) or somethings else to use different...
I've seen some pretty sophisticated (non-reverse-engineerable) setups by some big affiliates when I was working in the advertiser end (as in ppc affiliates covering their bases by hiding the source etc from us) so I'm kinda super curious how the smarter here would set up this and if there's an...
What kind of click/share rates have you guys had with social plugins?
The few projects I´ve looked into it/tracked the volume has been absolutely irrelevant.
Think it´s been suggested here you might as well have an image with the icons linking out or to your "social medias" page on your site...
Ryuzaki put it well. If the local market is not capped so low it will not provide for you and support your international efforts even if you dominate it, you most likely should (and I most likely will) start local. Especially in the beginning money earned now is more valuable (it will speed your...
You could, but that doesn´t mean your expected value in working on custom painted action figures is positive. ESPECIALLY considering the opportunity cost.
Cheers all, my name is azswe.
Calamari kicked off a laboratory thread in preparation for 2016 which got me thinking - a new year should be as good a time as any other to pull my finger out...
I´ve been working in online marketing in different capacities for some years now (currently for a ppc...
