    Employees seeing revenues and profits?

    How do you guys handle disclosing revenue to your employees? For example, your in-house developers working on your reporting platforms. They obviously have limitless access to your revenue. Even if you are paying employees extremely well for their position, I can't seem to shake the idea that...

    US DoD in your web stats?

    Anyone else seen these from time to time? I'm guessing they are are caching the sites and/or all downloads to combat bot-nets? The site in question hosts freeware apps.

    Anyone scaled their lendingclub investments?

    I believe someone on WF originally got me onto it. I made a small deposit to see how it all works out. So far so good after a few months and on a very small scale. 18 loans partially funded ($25 a piece) for a total of $450. Collected around $30 interest from $60 in payments. Just curious if...

    adwords throttling and impression limits

    At random times of the day our traffic will spike, plateau, and then just fall off to a few clicks here and there. Budgets are wide open at $10k/day and it would seem like the campaign has far more potential that what we are seeing. Bottom line, it's strange that we're seeing exactly 248-250k...

    Anyone buying BAC?

    It's at $5.37 and I remember some of you WF'rs picking up a sizable amount of shares at ~ $6.50. Hasn't it been proven that the government won't let them fold? They control far too many assets, right? I am far from being an experienced investor but it just seems insanely cheap for a stock that...

    Anyone ever have problems with false leads on Prosper? I am testing a new campaign and have been getting a handful of leads that show $0 revenue for them. Asked my network(s) about the sub-id's in question and they are not seeing the conversions. Either my pixels being fired or there's a bug...

    Hosting / cloaking ad network pixels

    Anyone know if it's possible to host and/or cloak your ad network conversion pixels? We basically want to serve the pixels from our own server. The only issue I guess is that most affiliate networks require it to be served as an image. Otherwise we could just serve it as a page and include the...

    Adcenter approval out of the blue ...$2500 later

    Just a heads up for those of you who had your accounts paused for review. Mine was down for over a month and I figured it was a dead horse. Suddenly in the last few days it must have got the green light and they started sending traffic to my campaigns. The only problem is that a few of the...

    2.0 style animated flash intro's

    Been digging for a company who does animated flash intro's similar to that of Groupon (and just about any other 2.0 company at that.) Tried searching and ended up stumped, maybe I'm missing some new terminology for these videos?

    Wide local strategy for content network

    Anyone care to share a basic strategy or theory for going wide within a given city on the content network? We are pushing a local project and basically trying to target just about ANY adsense site for local visitors. I've seen the big advertisers pull it off (eg. Groupon's local ads showing up...

    Adcenter bids, royally fucked

    Anyone else running adcenter and having issues with your bids vs your actual click cost? We are testing a new campaign and somewhat getting hosed. We started bidding high for the niche and lowered the bids but are still consistently paying 3 x our current bid. Is their a campaign level bid that...
