Agree that more info is needed to proceed, but lovely theme though! Is this a bootstrap theme or something made from scratch?

What? The highest electricity bill I ever paid is 400 pesos (~26 USD) a month. If your startup can't pay that, much less it can pay salaries.

So, they run their campaigns with an open targeting and then they trimed the websites to the ones users clicked, and then, selected which ones had better brand value for them. That's simple optimization and they should have always been doing that.

The question arrises when you have to start from scratch. They would also have to start with an open targeting to learn what performs for them.

Simple: I just don't see the point on using these new TLDs, they are confusing, it's not clear how the work and stupidly expensive... Seems just as an snobby thing.

Am I the only one surprised, and disgusted, about the .google TLD?

Did someone put it as SaaS already?

Nice initiative, please consider adopting IAB standard ad sizes like 300x250, 728x90, 468x60, etc so you can access to more remnant inventory.

Right now many ad companies use Greenpeace or Red Cross for serving something when they run out of ads. It shouldn't be hard to get some impressions from them, but the standard ad sizes will be a common requirement.

Good luck!

You can, there are plenty of XML feed providers who will provide you an XML of ads relevant to the keywords you provide, which you collect server side and display to your users.

Are you sure the Garden Hose has free access? I can't find any public access to it in the docs, everything directs me to their "data partners", which charge for this information.

Love these scrapper template generators. I wonder why you chose Java instead of something like PhantomJS to run the scrapper.

I don't think there's any value and the differences between BTC and LTC are not substantial (IMO).

But my guess is that being the second immediate P2P currency will give traction to LTC and some people who came late to the BTC party will jump in rising the value for a while.

Bought it a few years ago... and I wouldn't recommend it. It was created in a pre-iPad/iPhone era and it's not comfortable to use from anywhere else than a PC.

I followed the link thinking of some kind of challenge, what can I actually ship for 300 USD? That idea actually triggered a lot of thinking in my mind. - What would I do with that money and just a few days.

Then saw that it was just a poorly redacted (3 lines) cheap job post.
