Hi everyone, I've just launched my first product. It's a jQuery image tagger plugin. I just wanted to know what do you think of it or any suggestions other in terms of SEO .

Cheers

We need a link :)

It would maybe help if you posted a link to it!

I believe it's this, which was posted directly to HN a few minutes ago:

Yep. So why not add this question there as a comment?

phatbyte5• 16 years ago

Sorry guys, it's kinda late and i'm sleepy lol. Yes , the website is http://www.jpictag.com/

hey Henrique,

Looks very professional, I love the logo and the demos are really neat.

You'll likely see competition from some open source variation on what you've made (if that doesn't exist already).

Thanks :) I expect that, I've found one OO source project but it only does maybe 40% of what mine does. This is like a commercial version of facebook image tagger :P

Good, but I think you'll have some competition ;) I'm already on my way building my scripts, which has a panel for tagging and is built also with jQuery.

Anyway, wish you good luck :)

I have also already built one...and check out stippleit.com -- they have already launched and have a good product that had some recent NYTimes coverage.

Thanks for the link. I think the difference between my product and this one is "execution". My script is flexible, so you can make the same effects and boxes. But I think I'm missing on execution.

Site looks good. I love the demo's. Its great to be able to use/experiment with a tool before buying it.

The purchase process is a bit sluggish. It's been a long time since I've been bumped to paypal to make a purchase. I think it would be worth your money to pay the $30 a month for paypal pro and use the API to keep them on your site. Or use one of the many existing tools/apps/apis out there to make a cleaner checkout process.

It is far easier to deal with a refund than it is to deal with a charge back. Cheaper too. Since you have a demo, most that buy it are going to keep it. But those that for what ever reason end up wanting to return it, will be able to get their money back by going threw PayPal or their credit card. Plus its been proven that having a 30 day money back guarantee will improve your conversion rates.

Thanks for the feedback. Great things to keep me busy for while. Cheers

One bug, one suggestion.

On the Edition demo when I click to tag someone I can't immediately select their name from the list but if I start typing the name it selects fine. I click but it doesn't tick the box.

"(You may need IE8, FF, Safari or Opera to visualize this example)"

Visualize is the wrong word, you mean "use" or "see" I think. Visualise is a mental action.

Edit: oh yeah, it looks really good, like both FB and Flickr; hope they don't have patents on it!
