Working With Rails

CourseAdvisor is a rapidly growing, profitable, small company in the educational marketing space. The company has been growing exponentially over the last few years and is looking to continue that expansion in both revenue and operations. CourseAdvisor runs multiple web sites and the main web site www.courseadvisor.com receives over 3.3 unique visitors per month making it one of the top 500 sites in the country according to quantcast. Our growth has been driven by a highly analytical approach to web marketing and pay per click advertising. Our quant background has resulted in the development of significant internal technology for pay-per-click advertising and user matching, and we continue to push our quantitative approach forward.

Because of this rapid growth and our expertise in search engine marketing, CourseAdvisor was recently acquired by the Washington Post Company, making CourseAdvisor a wholly owned subsidiary of the Washington Post Company (http://www.washpostco.com/business-interactive.htm). This has opened up additional opportunities for the company.
