    It looks like their traffic has been fairly flat. I'd guess just over 1,000 unique users a day based on their Alexa rating, and a number of sites I run for comparison numbers. At t…

    I went to a store in my city that just opened a few weeks ago. They advertise as being paperless and cash free, and only accept debit/credit. I think it's the first time I went to …

    Header bidding. You sign up with a number of popular bidders (OpenX, AppNexus, Rubicon, AOL, Criteo, Sovrn, etc), and they all bid against each other in real-time. You then relay t…

    "The numbers given in this article do not account for any AWS reservation. However, they all account for Google sustained use discount (30% automatic discount on instances that ran…

    Whether you're on Amazon or Google, one thing is certain, we're going to have some amazing services and options available due to the competition between the two, and both of them f…

    I've spent a couple of years in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia. All of those countries are incredibly safe. The worst that ever happ…

    It's good for advertising. For example, Facebook analyzes all of your photos, and realizes there are a high number of images with sailboats. That means you might have an interest i…

    I'd focus on better understanding an AWS workflow, and use the credits to cover those small fees that are going to add up during your experimentation and testing. For example... Se…

    You're asking the wrong question. Everyone will agree to answer yes or no questions for 5 cents. As another user mentioned, people get excited and think they could be earning $90 p…

    Personally, I don't like it. As for positives, I think you achieved your goal with the design and interface. It's clear what you were trying to accomplish, and aside from a couple …

    Could you explain why you think you're in a good position? From what I understand, the comments are owned by the users, and by posting them to IMDb, they allowed IMDb and their aff…

    How many times has WhatsApp been blocked in Brazil? What's your advice for those 100 million users when it stops working? Switch to another centralized messenger, and convince thei…

    All of my sites are fairly diverse. US is the largest region, but it only comes in around 15% of total users.

    It's a strong community of users, so I'm going to try the donation route soon, with bonuses for donators. I tried having someone well connected in my industry directly sell adverti…

    Does anyone else here make their living from advertising? Well over 50% of my users run ad block. I get 1.5 million page views a day on my primary site (4,000 Alexa), and the adver…

    Brave should collect the bitcoin payments, but only pay the site owner when no advertisements or third-party tracking is found on their website for the past month. If the condition…

    I think Uber has a huge advantage. If you start a new transportation service in NYC, Uber can just flip a switch, undercut your NYC prices by $2 per ride, and make up the differenc…

    That's simply not true. Take a look at Google maps and you'll realize the vast majority of residential high rises are actually filled with equipment, huge fans, loud air-conditione…

    Yep, it was a cheap prepaid card from an Asian grocery store, so it just deducted the connection fee + minutes. I can't remember the cost, but it was likely less than a dollar for …
