At first I thought this had something to do with http://emberjs.com/
The name and color of the top navbar were close enough to cause me to look who's behind this to make sure it wasn't the same people.

What made you decide to buy your current brand of toothpaste ?
My family has used Colgate toothpaste since the 60's. Do you really look to advertising to decide on toothpaste choices?
Is advertising any worse than blindly accepting what you've "always done" ?
That's like people voting for one party because their parents voted for the party.

Slightly OT, but there are many different layers to advertising. We do CPA - which means you don't earn without performing an action (normally buying something). But your family probably uses Colgate because of brand awareness advertising.
When you are faced with a choice of items for the first time, all those billboards, TV ads, product placements and so on are all subconsciously recalled and push you towards a decision.

Heh - yeah. We chose our name ages ago (no real reason behind it other than the domain was available), but we figured there wasn't much overlap (we did rename our main javascript file from ember.js to pineapple.js just to reduce potential confusion though).

#75Hey HN, We've been working on EmberAds for a few months now and I think we are ready to get HN using it, The idea is you paste two lines of code, we match to your content and show ads. We've over 10,000 retailers in our system and work mostly in the UK + US (other countries are coming soon). Instead of being paid per click like adsense, you get paid per action (such as a signup or purchase) we've found this works bet…
In Hungary ember means people. :) So this is ads for the people.

Best wishes to you but I just want to reiterate what larrys says.
Your home page could really do with a one-sentence description of what makes you different from adsense (and saying "Effortlessly serve the best ads" doesn't count - that's just blah-blah stuff)

I have an idea for such a sentence!
"We're not Google Adsense"
I am just happy to see competing services in this space. Adsense has shut off many publishers and stonewalled them. It could happen to you, and it could happen to me too. We have to embrace new services and nurture them.
I will be trying this one for sure.

#78What's the average eCPM you getting publishers?

#80I noticed there is no approval process. How do you deal with inappropriate content like adult or gambling sites which may breach the TOS of the affiliate networks you work with?
