OMG. After a long rest from/. I go to the front page and oops, mouse over the Microsoft ad. A friggin popup window! Each story has comments in the double digits only. Slashdot sucks now! Going back to digg!
I have been working with one of their local spot advertising reps, and was informed that "They may not be willing to work with me, because I have a competing product." Its too bad this kind of thing is even legal--From an economic standpoint, competition benefits consumers.
Their rep has been shady, she said a 30-second spot (with my parameters) costs $3,000 to produce, but when I spoke to the producer, he laughed and said at most $500, and sometimes they do the first one for free.
When I ask the rep questions over e-mail, she says "Call me on this one." Obviously she wants to go off the record... All in all, its really shitty dealing with them.
My product is local, and they are the best tool to reach my audience--so I really need them, but I have been looking into other avenues, including local broadcast advertising...
I have been implementing a job website for the last two months. I can see hardcore demand for an anti-recruiter site, so I am adapting my business model. Two ways I can see going about it.
1. A social model that allows job seekers to "Report" recruiter postings. They would be reviewed by staff and removed if valid.
2. A black list model, that will eventually disuade recruiters from posting. All the Employers could see how many job seekers blacklisted them.
Let me know what you think, Slashdot.
