Home, sweet home. Well, for me, it was somehow a lot easier / less stressful to post when I thought no one was listening, ha! People started asking for advice and treating me like an expert… have I mentioned that I have no idea what I’m doing half the time? I just tackle something that’s bugging me until it’s bugging me a little less. And move on from there. On the bright side, I’ve also been really busy working on our hostel booking site. So without further ado, a babystep. It’s kind of impossible...

Wiggles of Hope | PackerShack

http://www.packershack.org/blog/wiggles-hope

Submitted by Jenny Dickinson. Sun, 08/05/2012 - 19:58. We're happy to announce that we've had our first couple of completed hostel bookings! We've been focusing on next steps in marketing lately and actually not paying close attention to our conversions, so this was a very pleasant surprise. While roughly $10 from our affiliate links isn't much, it gives us a sense of accomplishment and, as Paul Graham. Might say, are our first "wiggles of hope". Here's hoping for more wiggles!

Bulk URL Removal in Google Webmaster Tools. Submitted by Lih Chen. Mon, 06/17/2013 - 15:05. About a month ago, I finally pulled the trigger to ditch the #! Convention and used pushstate instead to allow major search engines to index our ajax content while keeping our urls nice and purrty. Unfortunately, during this endeavor, I messed up utf-8 url encoding for the urls that contain non-ASCII characters. I have since fixed the bug, but google is still attempting to crawl these badly-encoded URLs.

Be Helpful | PackerShack

Submitted by Lih Chen. Tue, 08/28/2012 - 19:23. Marketing has proven a bigger challenge than we expected. I'm sure you've heard the mantra "Build it and they will come." We're here to testify that statement is false. Twitter, on the other hand, has been working out very well for us. We watched a helpful video (to which we've lost the link) and were inspired to take their advice on utilizing twitter as a marketing platform. But not in the sense you might expect. This is definitely a mental shift from the ...

It would be nice if they were ordered in some useful way. 2 It might be helpful to scale the pie charts on some other scale (log, maybe? Sat, 07/13/2013 - 12:26. Thanks for the suggestions.

Feature Spotlight: Pricing Details. Submitted by Jenny Dickinson. Mon, 10/21/2013 - 12:56. But our goal is to be the best hostel metasearch/comparision site out there. And while we believe we already fit that bill, we decided it was high time to add something new: to improve the site in a visible way, making it an even more indespensible tool for hostel booking. So we asked ourselves: what is the biggest remaining pain point in hostel booking, and how can we fix it? Tue, 01/13/2015 - 19:04. Pfizer viagra...
