I think it's hyperink not Hyperlink

I had noticed almost everything had been failing over the past few weeks with NZBMatrix...

Back to torrents / DC++

I love bootswatch and would happily pay $5-$10 a month for regular swatches like this uploaded every few days / week, I'm not a designer nor do I want to spend time trying to be, bootstrap + bootswatch give me the ability to get something up ,running and looking pretty damn good very quickly.

However as you can see from that screenshot, a brand can target fans and friends of fans, so even if you don't like it a brand, you can see see the ad if your friend does

sure

Are all running EmberAds

At the moment we have no "none english" inventory but we are working on it :)

If your in the US we show US ads, if your in Germany we show german ads (other regions are coming soon as we get the networks, retailers and integration done)

Currently CPA but CPM + CPC have been requested and are on our roadmap

I can't reply to your comment but it takes about three minutes for it to match properly, if you could email your url to dom@emberads.com I'll take a look

We've had requests from both publishers and retailers for CPC / CPM pricing and our system is built to handle that, it's just a case of finding some time in the schedule to build and promote it!

Yeah sorry I was at a charity hack weekend and I'm still a little tired :)

Thanks for the advice, we are doing something similar yeah but we haven't normalised the products so much, we care more about that specific product from that retailer.

We are currently talking to some of the networks and affiliates about using our technology directly as well, as they seem to like our matching

Yep, Skimlinks also do the link conversion as well.

We partner with the major affiliate networks to use the conversion tracking they have, We also do regular test transactions to make sure that it works.

You can of course disable it when you generate your adcode you can untick +links :)

It works by simply converting a link that you write to amazon.com or thinkgeek.com and adding some affiliate tracking code so if someone clicks on the link and buys something, you can earn some revenue from that :) but yes opt-out is simple (I don't see how your trading visitors goodwill but obviously I'm biased ;) )

We are working on different ads styles all the time to make sure they convert, I've see the Deck ones before and whilst they look good, I believe they are paid on a CPM basis so are more for branding than actual clicks (but that doesn't mean we won't try an adstyle that looks like that).

We've built our system to be quite flexible, we can make changes and push it across the whole network or just a small part within minutes for a nice a/b test

Thanks, it's not going to be easy but I think our matching is brilliant and we have a fantastic team :)

Hey 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 better with sites that add value.

If you have any questions or want to get in touch, a lot of the team is on HN or you can ping me at dom@emberads.com

NOTE :: If you paste the code and see dresses, groupon ads or something less relevant, it means that we haven't matched your page yet (this usually takes around a minute or two).

If after a few minutes it's still not matched, please let me know using the email address above or @emberads your url and our team will look into it

yes yes yes!

"Note: we’re only able to offer this to start-ups with a presence in the US today. We recently launched in Europe and Canada and hope to be able to do something similar for international start-ups soon."

Oh... maybe later

Vodafone, Starbucks, Google, Amazon, eBay.. As a person with a few companies in the UK that pay tax, it seems that the big companies can get away with whatever, where as last week I had someone from HRMC actually turn up at my house demanding payment because there had been a mixup with a £4k PAYE payment.. It beggers belief

This is old news, from January this year.

Congratulations to all

just patched that locally, will deploy it next :)

thanks I'll add that to the list

if the site actually gets used I'd probably just create an API and let others play..

I run a hack day where the main prizes are from the pound shop.. I know how to do a cheap prize ;)

Thanks!

I've got a video I'll be uploading onto youtube of the first 12 hours coding, I'll comment with a link tomorrow as its 2am now :)

give me a few days and I'll have registration online :)

if you play your cards right ;)
