For a lot of reasons. First, if I'm spending time creating an app, it would be nice to know with 100% certainty that it will be accepted in the app store. Second, it's unfair if competitors don't have to run by the same set of rules. Third,

And, what about Groupon and Living Social? All they do is promote a different business every day... If Apple is going to make rules like this, they need to be consistant on how they enforce it.

Ah, forgot to say where the drop-off is. We lose most people on the gift selection page. - 60% make it from the homepage to the gift selection page (not bad). - 3% make it to from the gift selection page to the billing page (eeeeh). It's a

This was very helpful. I agree that there are a lot of decisions to be made that don't seem necessary for something so far in advance. That may be a tough nut to crack. I'm going to dig into this more and see if the feedback is consisten

This is a huge improvement for Google Analytics. I always needed to have multiple tracking scripts installed on my website because google didn't display the data in real-time. I'm excited to test it out.

I had this same idea a while back, but never had the time to build it. It could be a great way to generate some affiliate money. Good luck!

It's fine that Google is late in to group buying, but the problem is they aren't going to be able to do it any better than Groupon or Living Social so people aren't going to care. As other said, Google killed it with Gmail and it was far b
