Honestly - we've been meaning to release an API once we get our new backend out. Of course that's been the hiccup - it's been almost ready for far too long :) Ping me via www.examine.com/contact/ and lets see if w

Yup 100%. Worst case, I could have still turned it around and immediately sold it for 25k. If I was more patient, likely 35k. To me, ignoring the opportunity cost of the cash itself, it was a ~10k risk. Worth it.

We can only research and collate the existing research.

That's a bit simplistic. Having "Examine.com" as our brand brought us weight - the domain is easy to remember, easy to understand, has a link to what we're selling, and so forth. BUT - that 42k was never all we had. It

Have considered it. Problem is our audience trends older, and they may be confused by what bitcoin is (and checkouts are all about ease of use).

Hihi. We have a wiki-backend, but the reality is that our subject matter is far too specialized. The edits are not as frequent as you'd imagine - one of our guys does the lead research on our page, emails the editors, and then they all

Thanks! We've tried to be as non-condescending as possible. It's not hard being right, it's hard to teach/show someone the truth.

Hadn't updated WP a while ago, got a few stupid links injected (for SEO, not for phishing). Your company is likely just a bit slow in updating its filter list.

We _may_ eventually start looking into doing our own original research, but at this time, zero plans. We do have plans to start publishing some of our research as meta-reviews, but give us a bit of time on that. > into real money Hones

Thanks for the kind words, and good luck. We're thankfully at a stage now where we're well cashflow positive so we can just focus on what we do best. > Soylent Beyond the link that MDS100 posted, I personally think it's a

1. Well, I'd say my background is more in developing tools for myself and then making them usable by end-users. With that said, SEO has not done much for us. On top of that, I've had enough experience with Google that relying on i

$50 is high if you just think of it as an eBook. We think more along the lines of the Picasso Principle: http://www.psychotactics.com/blog/the-picasso-principle/ The Stack Guides greatly simplify the process. They

It's easier and simpler. While we linked to only the generic search from Amazon.com, it's easier to doubt the research when we still profit from the sales. Examine.com is run as a lifestyle business. If we wanted to maximize reven

It definitely helped. But, I've been a redditor for 8 years now anyway - http://www.reddit.com/user/AhmedF/ - so it was just a natural fit. In terms of generating revenue or people who spread the word ... red
