Thanks for the vote! Thanks for supporting our community! Are you against it? Do you think it's fair game? Some merchants have gotten better about order limits though. Can you share us your current revenue stream, and what changes after ? I mean, you don't go from 3 to 35 employees by pure luck :. In terms of what changed in , thats when we really decided to launch the company as a real business. Opened an office in Las Vegas, hired developers, and people to help run the site. Luckily the investment was worth it as we continue to grow.

In the first 10 years, everything was done remotely and it was great as a small team but you can only accomplish so much.

After opening up the office, we added mostly devs and a business person to handle merchant questions. Chalupster 6 karma UTC. Been a big fan and user of the site since and very grateful for all of the money your system has saved me.

Unfortunately, I have noticed an increasing number of trolls and very rude users old and new in most of the major forums over the past years and it only seems to be slowly getting worse and worse.

The report system has done very little which is disheartening because I think this negativity may be scaring away a lot of new users and hindering many a discussion. We're working on a new "post rating" system that'll allow users to vote on individual comments, and that should help.

We'll highlight the good ones, hide the bad ones. NOTE: I do not believe these allegations and in fact have disputed them when I see them on Slickdeals, mostly just curious what your response is. The fact is our editors have complete editorial integrity about picking which deals make it to the frontpage. We sort of have a "separation of powers" here at Slickdeals.

Our merchant relationship team and our deal editing team are kept at arms length. This is how you get deals for free tacos at taco bell which clearly don't make us any direct revenue. Its no doubt that we make money off of frontpage deals, but we certainly don't purposely try to hide deals. Sometimes deals get missed by a deal editor just because they're human and they have to review so many deals Now in the effort of transparency, I will say that if there is a deal that is at Amazon and at Walmart for the same price, for the same shipping, we'll typically optimize for the one who makes us a little more money.

We list both though. You'll often see a deal thats something like:. BA k CC signups Lowe's FB Holiday sweeps ' I even built an Excel spreadsheet that pulls in the threads in Hot Deals and auto-updates, so I can check Slickdeals constantly at work without looking like a slacker.

Your website has been an incredible resource, a big part of my life. Keep up the awesome work!! We're actually experimenting with a new sorting algorithm based off of reddit's and you might see that roll out soon to the search results and forums!

Oxden 5 karma UTC. Why so many front page deals from tanga? Seems like crap usually? Just curious. Oh and I love the site. Found it years back. Now I've got all kinds of people hooked on slick deals. We mostly go on votes! Sometimes the community is a strange thing - we see ebbs and flows about what the community likes and dislikes. Remember when there used to be meritline deals all over the place? Thanks for using us! I'll take a line from southwest airlines: We know you have lots of choices, so thanks for choosing Slickdeals.

This is my other most frequented site besides reddit. I've been a member of SD since I still check it daily just like reddit. Retailers are getting smarter, so price mistakes happen less and less, but there are still good deals. How many HP Touchpads did you buy? Honestly though, how many users did that fuster cluck bring to your site and how many stayed? It was one of the biggest days for us, even larger than Black Friday.

We bought a lot, I think we got one for every employee as a perk :. I want a new TV, but for various reasons, do not have the desire to do Black Friday shopping. What are other good times during the year to purchase TVs? I personally get that asked a lot by friends and family. My answer is always the same.

I buy things that are good-to-awesome price when I know that's something I'll use some day that impulse spending! Black Friday is a great time to get some of those one-off deals, but in the past something like TVs, for example is happening year round.

Early in the year Feb-March when there are model line changeovers to new, and improved current year models, often during major sporting events Superbowl , Father's Day and sometimes Black Friday. With TVs, each year has the 'best size' - this year it's " models, which are the best 'price-per-inch' ratio last year it was 55". The main thing with TVs - settle on the features you absolutely need, and don't look for 'nice-to-haves' or specific brands, since chances are if you do that you will overpay.

Good deals happen year round and often times are even better than Black Friday. What is the revenue of Slickdeals per year can give a range if that makes you feel more comfy TyrionSwaggister 3 karma UTC.

Be honest, have you ever taken a deal down because it was so smokin' that you had to get in before it was gone? What data is used to establish that you are able to call yourselves "the world's largest online deal community? We have the largest out of all of them. Can you share some insight about the technologies that run the site? I guess you started with the forum software, but I saw it grow so much, I guess you have quite a few extra pieces around it? Edit: Thanks for being around!

I discovered SD in and been constantly hitting at least the front page every day since :. We are huge fans of building our site architecture ourselves using components which do not come with a mandatory license for everything production. All of that runs on commodity hardware, and everything except databases and HAProxy runs inside small virtual nodes most of which are cloned from the same template. We try to take a 'shared nothing' approach and rely of hundreds of small nodes of which significant percentage can fail without end users noticing.

So there are no SANs or any major centralized storage. We have been using consumer grade SSDs for all our databases since , and never looked back at spinning disks. How were you able to market SD so successfully when there were so many deal site start ups at the time. Thanks for the AMA. Huge fan. You guys helped me save so much money over the years! Congrats on the success. Keep up the good work. Slickdeals has grown by word of mouth thanks to our community posting, rating, reviewing deals and products and evangelizing slickdeals to their friends and family.

It grew way faster than any of us expected. In when Van started the site, he just told his friends… Last year we had over 12 million unique visitors in November, our busiest month and we hope to exceed that this year again. Believe it or not, from to we grew purely through word of mouth: friends telling friends.

We didn't spend a dime on marketing or advertising. I think that just shows how great of a site we are So good that people would recommend us to their friends. Our goal is to reach everyone and teach them the Slickdeals spirit of saving money. What are the key differentiating factors between a job candidate that is offered a position and those that are not?

What determines whether or not a person sticks around after being hired includes work ethic and the desire to self-improve and learn. I will answer from the tech side I have hired most of our tech team. In no particular order: - required condition Initial skillset -Drive to write good software dev -Hunger for learning new things dev and ops -Presence of some personality -Low resistance to deal hunter mentality brainwashing.

Aleyha 3 karma UTC. How does everyone find their deals? How did you find your deals starting out? Are most really just common users stumbling upon a good deal and posting it on the forum? DJ3xclusive can't be human. Editors look for deals through newsletters or merchants sometimes email stuff for us to consider. Users find and post their own deals as well. With '12 million uniques' a month, and a plethora of deal data, how will you leverage this in the future?

The goal is to be an authoritative resource for shopping. Someone you can rely on to give you all the information you need to make an informed shopping decision, but not only that. We want to make sure you get the most -value- for your money. There are lots of opportunities for us to provide that value and you'll see us roll out features and content to that regard.

So I love Slickdeals for finding general merchandise, and it is excellent for that. However, one area that I wish worked better was the grocery store type items. I know you guys have a forum dedicated for it, but it is mostly about coupons, and isn't very friendly for newcomers or casual viewers. And, unlike most regular slickdeals deals, grocery stores are very regional even if a particular store is nationwide, the prices for groceries varies widely.

It would be awesome to have a tool where you put in your grocery list, and it gives you the cheapest place to buy those items right now. This comment has been rated as unhelpful by Slickdeals users. The Dark Passenger. L7: Teacher. Holy moly. Great deals How are their employees not nabbing all these up?

L4: Apprentice. Quote from prvns :. Quote from cloudend :. Quote from Slimeyface :. L5: Journeyman. The available quantities look ridiculous. Looks like bait and switch. Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank youra6? Quote from mannyi :. Quote from youra6 :.

Insane deals! Time to book those base economy fare flight, grab the item, catch the next return flight and you would still save on actual price tag. L9: Master. Quote from Manlet :.
