I moved to San Francisco without knowing a soul. I started going to a Steelers bar every Sunday during football season and it's where I met my first new group of friends. It was a lot easier when everyone around me was talking about the team/game.
I have a product in beta right now that was created to solve this problem for my own agency and now I'm bringing it to market as SAAS - https://www.getbridgeanalytics.com . I don't list the actionable insights you describe on the splash page features but that is what is being built behind the scenes. Its in very early beta but I'd love to have you join if you are interested. Let me know at [email protected]
I use it for "real work" as well and love everything you mentioned but can also add a big one: Access your dev environment, anywhere.
Ex. I was at an old client's office catching up and a potential user (large agency) fell into the discussion and expressed an interest in my application. He liked it but wanted to see a few additional metrics, that while stored in the database, were not available in the view. I Jumped on a nearby laptop and added it for him in 5min.
His agency is currently in the beta. (probably would've still joined without things going down this way but you get the point)
Do you already have a complete MVP? Do you have significant funding? Your AngelList profile leads me to believe that you don't.
Friendly Advice: If I was to seriously be evaluating this as a potential CTO, I would want my equity stake to be equal to that of you and your partner.
5%-10% to the person doing all the heavy, technical lifting is very low.
>So if Bing wants to rank Bing.com higher than Google.com on the keyword "Search Engine", all they need to do is to pay link farms to link to Google?
During this "crackdown campaign" Google has been on, I have sat in on meetings at large clients where they've pulled sites that are supposedly link farms (according to google) and put together an ad buy on behalf of competitors meant to cause these penalties to be levied and WMT messages to be sent.
How very positive and encouraging of you. Exactly what our industry needs, elitist developers who don't want to grow the industry. You know, there is a shortage of strong developers available and you were a beginner too at one point.
As someone who has been in the SEO industry a long time I can tell you that some of this is terrible/spammy advice...
Buy KW rich domains and pay some copywriter to crank out 4-5 pages?! Are you serious?
Twitter has no SEO Value?...just so you know...the SE's came out and said that authoritative tweets absolutely have value....While they don't pass "juice", they can help you in the SERPs
