ankitoberoi··on Seven Habits Study Guide
Spending more than what you earn is not a habit, it's a disorder.

What I'm trying to say is that it does not work like that. If I were to follow all that is said in such book/articles, will I automatically become rich or successful?

ankitoberoi··on Seven Habits Study Guide
Personally, I think HN is not the perfect place for self-help.

Also, I don't believe that any specific habits can you make you successful.

A lot of people became successful purely by probability.

ankitoberoi··on The science behind how fonts make you feel
I'm on Macbook 13.3-inch LED widescreen display and do not like the font either.

Since the majority of internet users have much less pixels per inch as compared to the retina, I think it should be best for websites to use san serif.

ankitoberoi··on How Typography Affects Readers
Exploded? No.

But that's what we've been trying to find with this article: How Typography affects users.

From the different researches cited in the articles (all backed with data), font selection did seem to make a difference. Maybe Little.

ankitoberoi··on How Typography Affects Readers
This Case Study of Higgs simply proves why selecting an appropriate font is important. This is followed by data of experiments done by Errol Morris.

Hi,

Thanks for pointing this out. XP+FF is indeed important, it is about 4% of our traffic. The CSS fallback is being fixed.

The font looks same on 7 & XP both: http://www.browserstack.com/screenshots/21265f29764195b7a298... http://www.browserstack.com/screenshots/a81e07f3288687d3fc0f...

Would you be kind enough to upload a screenshot of the blurry font? :)

ankitoberoi··on How to Sell a Blog for $36,200
There are plugins for almost anything you want to do with wordpress. I'm a co-founder @ AdPushup, our tool allows bloggers to use A/B Testing on AdSense and other ad networks to improve ad revenues.

True, a better way to ascertain value is by factoring in the profits, which is why you have the P/E ratios. However, it is not uncommon to use revenues to calculate value as well.

It is also important to note that they are not making $1B yet, but have just hit a run-rate of $1B. Having $250M in cash is a different thing.

ankitoberoi··on Psychology Behind Conversion Optimization
Sorry that it could not add value for you.

I have the second part (for publishers) coming out next week, so, would take this as feedback for the next one.

ankitoberoi··on What if Google Analytics makes all traffic Not provided?
It has already done that.
ankitoberoi··on Vinod Khosla: 70-80% Of VCs Add Negative Value To Startups
Interview street is a YC company, backed by them. They seem like doing fine to me.
ankitoberoi··on Correlation between exchange rates and election in India
What could these other means be to manipulate the currency in an open market?

I haven't noticed any policy changes and RBI, is primarily selling dollars, in low quantities though.

ankitoberoi··on Correlation between exchange rates and election in India
Quote - "Huge profitability gained by bringing back black money stashed abroad in order to cover Election expenses".

The rupee can't devalue because of this. Large buy orders would only make the rupee appreciate. Rather, what would still make more sense is the politicians and businessmen sending the black money abroad, just before the elections to safeguard it due to the uncertainty if the next government would support them.

ankitoberoi··on A/B Testing for Publishers
Both the topics are quite different, while the other posts is focused on showing how split testing can be done on Adsense, this one points out the major issues faced by publishers when using popular A/B testing tools.
ankitoberoi··on A/B Testing for Publishers
A small addition to point #3 (Limitations of Current A/B Testing Softwares): Manual Editing does not work. The only workaround with current softwares is creating a new page for every variation and then splitting the traffic.
ankitoberoi··on Facts about Banner and Display Advertising
Yes, which is why using other metrics to measure performance would be better (specially offline).

Our startup is also currently building a product which will help publishers improve ad performance by using continuous testing, machine learning and optimization.

ankitoberoi··on Panic Mode: Privacy Extension for Google Chrome
Not very useful. Only secures your data when it's transferring over the network. Most of the website I use and have my private data over, are already forced https.

The problem of your Service Provider giving private data access to the government, still remains.

ankitoberoi··on Increase Leads by A/B testing your live chat software (with Math explanation)
Stopped using them about a few years ago when the response time got too high for most of the websites and majority were agents handling chats from a outsourced process. These agents knew as good about the products/services as the FAQs.
ankitoberoi··on Recruit this
and thats because the scene @ SV is more evolved. They understand that they have little, if any, chance of converting from a normal to hot lead, without disclosing the name.
