I'm one of the creators of the the landing page that we launched recently while the product is still in development. The landing page has an interactive twist that gives people an incentive to share about us.

In the time its been up we've seen the majority of visitors coming back to the page several times, interacting with us a long time each visit and sharing about us on Facebook and through personal referral links. In addition we have seen a strong percentage of referrals coming back to sign up.

Along side to traditional email sign up using Launchrock we added an interactive element that gets visitors a reason to share and spread our message for us and increases our traffic. But in addition people are staying on the landing page for significant time, coming back multiple times and telling us that the game is addictive.

We used a modified game tied to a giveaway where a higher score gives a higher chance to win an awesome ski trip for 4. People are entered by filling out an email prompt after they've played a bit. They get to play longer, so they can get to a higher score by sharing on Facebook and by having their friends come play the game once they run out of lives. So far looking great like a snowball picking up steam.

Would love to hear HN's thoughts!


so is Google for google buzz, the capability of the ftc to monitor and/or do more than a slap on the wrist is no existent

the monitoring is facebook telling the ftc - we are all cool over here bro and the ftc taking them at their word


Glad to see a public stance by the internet community


Sounds like a great idea minus the fact that you have to pay! Which is probably worth it for a large company it's not worth it at our stage.


Seriously? wtf


Great as I said all HN folks are welcome! Let me know how to get in touch.


jpollak92 at gmail. thanks!


Def let's talk we like all the HN minded people we can get. Send me your email and I will contact you with some ideas. =)


Thats proper HN thinking out of the box that I like


Yup reached out to the local schools career postings today. Hopefully we can incite some talented interns as I think we have some great experiences for them.


Awesome will do! I think we have a great product and a very skilled person on our team with whom the interns will primarily work with. So a great experience for some college kids.
