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, because it's extremely confusing and could turn developers off from creating on their platform.

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.

Facebook just recently started doing this as well. You can now pay to get your app promoted in people's news feed.

It took a while to find the price. You should probably make it stand out more so people feel more comfortable when they click "Buy Now"

It reminded me of Sublime as well and I must say that the fuzzy match saves me a lot of time when switching between files. Having this functionality built into the OS could be very beneficial.

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 huge drop-off and we are trying to pin-point why. It may be a product issue, but most people have given us good feedback on our selection of products. We are going to mix in some other brands to see if it helps at all.

We have split tested the landing page and were able to increase the click-through rate by 20%. No other split tests are running at the moment.

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 consistent.

You've never heard of the term "brownie points"? Are you from outside of the US?

I believe they hit on this in Made to Stick.

I'm a/b testing a few of these. I'll add your suggestions to the mix.

It's back up.

Our prices include: tax, shipping and gift wrapping as well. We need to do a better job stating this to our customers.

ah having server issues today.

Thanks for the advice! kapilkale do you remember how many hours (roughly) you put in to your application?

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!

Watch Food Matters on Netflix. A good diet can help cure many diseases.

Anyone know what Facebook's commission cut is compared to Groupon & Living Social?

You couldn't even put the http:// in your spam post for your link? Fail.

Should be interesting longterm to see how this coupon craze plays out. My mom figured out Groupon, but has no clue what a smartphone is so Google may be a little ahead of the curve for part of the demographic they are after.

Wasn't buzz going to kill twitter too because you don't have to leave your inbox?

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 better than any other mail service, but how much better can they make 50% off coupons?

Yes, I used GA & getclicky and the results were almost identical. The landing page I was using was extremely lightweight and loaded in less than a second in most cases. I'd be really surprised if people could bounce before it loaded.

By the way, I'm not the only one reporting this issue: http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=facebook+...

There is a lot of click fraud in Facebook ads. Have you ever checked your analytics logs to verify you are getting what you are paying for? In my case, around 40% of clicks I paid for never made it over. I emailed facebook ad support 6 times and the only response I ever received was from an auto responder. I'd never use their service again.

Having your call to action button below the fold is really bad practice. It's no surprise that your conversions increased when you moved the button up. Also, I would suggest putting your registration form directly on the homepage instead of requiring a person to click a button to see it.
