gigaforce18 (12:54:29 AM): hello?
gigaforce18 (12:55:09 AM): I was browsing getgambit and noticed there was an aim screenname posted...
gigaforce18 (12:55:31 AM): I figured you might be able to help, seeing as it said you were active.
gigaforce18 (12:55:37 AM): available.
gigaforce18 (12:55:51 AM): are you?
gigaforce18 (1:08:28 AM): no?
andrew96574 is available (1:27:42 AM)
andrew96574 (1:24:56 AM): hey
andrew96574 (1:25:19 AM): who is this?
gigaforce18 (1:27:48 AM): hm?
gigaforce18 (1:27:58 AM): Oh, I just wanted to ask some questions.
gigaforce18 (1:28:24 AM): about how getgambit works.
andrew96574 (1:28:41 AM): are you an app developer?
gigaforce18 (1:29:07 AM): no?
gigaforce18 (1:29:48 AM): can I still ask a few questions?
andrew96574 (1:30:03 AM): sure
gigaforce18 (1:31:43 AM): okay. Well, first, the offers pages. I'm relatively sure that what you provide to websites is a plugin of sorts that is maintained by getgambit.
gigaforce18 (1:31:48 AM): is that at all correct?
andrew96574 (1:32:28 AM): you could call it a plugin
gigaforce18 (1:33:23 AM): well, I don't really know what to call it. Can you explain to me generally how it works and how much the website owner would have to do as far as any maintenance?
andrew96574 (1:33:57 AM): So you are an app developer? I'm trying to understand in what context we're talking.
gigaforce18 (1:35:18 AM): I'm not a developer, but I guess I think I'm trying to see it from a developer's point of view, so... for the time being, I'm an app developer.
gigaforce18 (1:35:40 AM): sorry for any confusion.
andrew96574 (1:35:47 AM): ok, but what is the final point of the questions....are you thinking about creating an app?
gigaforce18 (1:36:04 AM): somewhat, yes.
gigaforce18 (1:36:15 AM): yes.
andrew96574 (1:36:41 AM): ok
andrew96574 (1:36:47 AM): so we're a monetization platform
andrew96574 (1:37:10 AM): typically for social apps
gigaforce18 (1:37:41 AM): The website says you work namely in gaming sites as well.
gigaforce18 (1:37:57 AM): you do both?
andrew96574 (1:38:05 AM): sure
gigaforce18 (1:38:25 AM): Can you tell me some other sites you've worked with?
gigaforce18 (1:38:58 AM): I mean, I think I've seen the monetization program on a few, such as facebook and myspace,
andrew96574 (1:39:07 AM): we have a few testimonials on the website from some apps we work with
andrew96574 (1:39:38 AM): other than that, we don't talk about our client list
andrew96574 (1:39:47 AM): but apps on Facebook and Myspace, yes
gigaforce18 (1:39:48 AM): I understand.
andrew96574 (1:39:57 AM): we have many apps on both
andrew96574 (1:40:03 AM): as well as stand-alone sites
gigaforce18 (1:41:19 AM): okay, so how does the app generally work? Is it much more than some code we put into a page?
gigaforce18 (1:41:40 AM): well, I mean, yes, it has to be more,
gigaforce18 (1:41:46 AM): but how much more?
andrew96574 (1:42:02 AM): we typically integrate with sites that have virtual currencies
andrew96574 (1:42:32 AM): there is a simple API to facilitate that
gigaforce18 (1:44:36 AM): okay
andrew96574 (1:44:44 AM): so it takes a little more work, but the whole process is only 20-30 minutes for a developer
gigaforce18 (1:45:16 AM): and what do you need in order to do this?
andrew96574 (1:45:56 AM): the integration doc walks you through everything
andrew96574 (1:46:05 AM): on our site, click on the help link
gigaforce18 (1:46:30 AM): Okay.
gigaforce18 (1:46:45 AM): well, I also have a few more questions regarding the service itself.
gigaforce18 (1:47:09 AM): as I'm sure you know, putting this up is never fully supported by the users.
gigaforce18 (1:47:23 AM): however positive an addition it may be.
gigaforce18 (1:48:18 AM): Now, from what I've already seen, the app acts as a window to another webpage. Is this correct?
andrew96574 (1:48:37 AM): gambit runs within an iframe
andrew96574 (1:48:46 AM): which is what you're referring to
gigaforce18 (1:48:58 AM): okay.
gigaforce18 (1:50:24 AM): do you use the same survey list pages for most of the apps?
andrew96574 (1:50:35 AM): the offers change for every app
gigaforce18 (1:51:06 AM): does that mean you have specific lists for each app?
andrew96574 (1:51:30 AM): no, but we target the list
andrew96574 (1:51:48 AM): we have tons of offers in the system
gigaforce18 (1:51:53 AM): so the apps filter out specific surveys?
andrew96574 (1:52:02 AM): and our algorithm calculates which ones to show
gigaforce18 (1:53:15 AM): How does removing surveys from the list work?
gigaforce18 (1:53:33 AM): I've heard about people having some problems with that in the past
andrew96574 (1:53:49 AM): having problems with what specifically?
gigaforce18 (1:54:16 AM): namely getting specific surveys removed from the list
andrew96574 (1:54:26 AM): we allow you to disable any of them
andrew96574 (1:54:32 AM): there's a simple interface
gigaforce18 (1:54:58 AM): is that done through the getgambit website?
andrew96574 (1:55:02 AM): yes
gigaforce18 (1:55:32 AM): is it an automated change, or do you have to wait for a developer to disable it?
andrew96574 (1:55:49 AM): change?
andrew96574 (1:56:08 AM): we have all the offers enabled by default. You can disable any that you don't like.
gigaforce18 (1:56:40 AM): does the system disable the offer by itself once you mark it to be disabled, or does a developer have to view a request and then disable it?
andrew96574 (1:57:31 AM): I'm not sure what you mean
gigaforce18 (1:57:41 AM): If I were to disable an offer,
gigaforce18 (1:58:11 AM): would a developer then remove it?
andrew96574 (1:58:30 AM): it's an automated process
gigaforce18 (1:58:36 AM): okay.
andrew96574 (1:58:37 AM): we don't handle the request manually
gigaforce18 (1:58:46 AM): okay
gigaforce18 (1:59:23 AM): a few more questions. I'll be brief, I promise
gigaforce18 (2:01:33 AM): Pretty much, when one of our users completes a survey, you credit the user with the payment in our currency and the payment goes to us, then we get paid every month. Is that correct?
andrew96574 (2:01:56 AM): correct
gigaforce18 (2:03:07 AM): I noticed your customer support policy. If a user doesn't finish a survey but submits a problem and gets paid, do we still get paid for it as well?
andrew96574 (2:03:36 AM): if we can verify and collect payment from the advertiser, yes
andrew96574 (2:03:43 AM): that policy can be easily modified
gigaforce18 (2:04:32 AM): have you had problems with it in the past? I mean, I can see how it could be problematic.
andrew96574 (2:04:43 AM): the policy?
gigaforce18 (2:04:46 AM): yes
andrew96574 (2:04:56 AM): it all depends on the tolerance of the client
andrew96574 (2:05:09 AM): some clients absolutely don't want to pay out at all, some don't care
andrew96574 (2:05:40 AM): it significantly affects user experience to never credit users
gigaforce18 (2:06:21 AM): I can certainly understand that
gigaforce18 (2:06:51 AM): Okay. Two more questions
gigaforce18 (2:07:00 AM): for now.
gigaforce18 (2:07:26 AM): can you tell me the average number of users your clients have?
gigaforce18 (2:07:40 AM): or do you not share that?
andrew96574 (2:07:48 AM): I don't know that
gigaforce18 (2:07:55 AM): okay, then
andrew96574 (2:08:04 AM): they don't share that information with us
gigaforce18 (2:08:16 AM): okay.
gigaforce18 (2:08:24 AM): Let me rephrase that, then.
gigaforce18 (2:09:04 AM): can you tell me how much income the average client earns in one month?
andrew96574 (2:09:09 AM): no
gigaforce18 (2:09:12 AM): okay
andrew96574 (2:09:13 AM): that's confidential
gigaforce18 (2:09:22 AM): I understand why.
gigaforce18 (2:09:56 AM): finally,
gigaforce18 (2:10:31 AM): do you have a recommendation on how big a website should be before integrating getgambit?
andrew96574 (2:10:40 AM): it really doesn't matter
andrew96574 (2:11:02 AM): some sites do very well from designing with the intent to monetize
andrew96574 (2:11:08 AM): so that would imply early integration
andrew96574 (2:11:22 AM): some people prefer to build the site first and then worry about it later
gigaforce18 (2:11:42 AM): okay
gigaforce18 (2:11:57 AM): Oh, I do have one more question, back on the topic of filtering
gigaforce18 (2:12:34 AM): do you do any filtering of your surveys before adding them to your lists, or is it left completely up to the client to filter?
gigaforce18 (2:12:52 AM): I mean before you put together a client's algorithm
andrew96574 (2:12:59 AM): we don't filter them unless you tell us to
andrew96574 (2:13:04 AM): they are all enabled by default
gigaforce18 (2:13:24 AM): okay
gigaforce18 (2:13:35 AM): well, I do believe that's all I have the time to ask.
gigaforce18 (2:13:51 AM): I'll keep you on my contacts in case I have any more questions.
gigaforce18 (2:14:30 AM): Thank you
andrew96574 (2:14:38 AM): no problem
andrew96574 (2:14:41 AM): what was your name?
gigaforce18 (2:14:50 AM): Frederick,
gigaforce18 (2:15:00 AM): you can call me Fred.
andrew96574 (2:15:07 AM): cool
andrew96574 (2:15:10 AM): good to meet you
gigaforce18 (2:15:20 AM): nice to meet you too
gigaforce18 (2:15:28 AM): I'll talk to you later, then.
andrew96574 is available (2:15:39 AM)
andrew96574 (2:15:38 AM): k, have a good one
gigaforce18 (2:15:45 AM): you too
andrew96574 is away (1:10:57 PM)
