What was the CTR ? for badges and for coupons.

CTR for badges was like 8% with all the timing and randomness tweaks. Since coupons are not used to drive traffic to other sites we also measured newsletter signup and the engagement was mindboggling 3.5%

This is pretty AWESOME CTR and engagement. I mean, where is the catch ?

I think this looks absolutely brilliant, and plan on trying it out, as soon as I can figure out how to adapt it to my needs. You see, I have an e-Commerce site, so it doesn't do me any good to have a printable coupon with a QR code. What alternatives do you guys suggest in this case? Also: where do the emails you collect on the coupons go?

1. for e-commerce, besides collecting emails for a newsletter, you could put a keyword to a coupon with which visitors can claim discount on your site. 2. you can download e-mails in CSV in your statistics link tell your e-commerce site URL and I'll see if I can get any ideas

My site is a Norwegian online bookstore. No e-books yet, just paper books-- and we're not currently set up for a keyword (coupon code), but it's something we've been meaning to get implemented. The url is http://www.bokdykk.no, but the text is all in Nynorsk.

Interesting concept. I like how minimal you've kept it. If your site is targeted towards business owners/webmasters in the U.S, I suggest having a native English speaker record the video. I realize that comment may earn me some downvotes, but I really do think that would result in more users, and I'm willing to sacrifice karma score in order to help the OP.

We're completely aware of that, and really wish that we'd have a native speaker on hand :) Just now we're pinging our old friend in NYC if she can lend a syllable or two.

I don't really think that disclaimer is necessary..?

This is due to human curiosity which in turn generates a pull effect.

Each pop up click results in another 'page', meaning I had to click back around 8 times to get back here. Just FYI :)

Not sure I'm getting what you mean? Do you mean that the coupons take you on a new page?

Sorry, I explained that badly. I'm running Chrome (10.0.648.204) and each coupon click is resulting in another entry in the browser back history.

Perhaps not. I haven't been around HN for very long relative to a lot of contributors, so I wanted to make sure it was clear that my intent was to be helpful, and not to be malicious or rude in any way. I probably could have worded it better.

Yep, I can reproduce the problem but I'm not aware what triggers it. Maybe the JS changing the iframe's src makes a new history record in Chrome.

I'll have to investigate this further.
