it's broken: http://publishers.wozad.com/signup_confirm.php, the link that the confirmation email points me to, doesn't exist.

I can sign up succesfully, it seems it's fixed.

It's your site. I'd imagine _you_ are able to sign up successfully.

One Suggestion:

You want people to have positive feelings about your company (you are putting a lot of work into it in order to help people, right?) so drop the negative advertising. Figure out ways to differentiate and complement others so that people who use and like other services don't feel personally threatened by your advertising.

Even if it is really obvious you are competing with someone, don't say it that out loud, since you are likely to fork into a different business model from them as you grow and find your own niche. Playing nicely with others will get you more positive buzz from the community, and you'll be perceived as a better partner by others if you play nicely.:

"Adsense for X, Wozad for Y".

Also, if you want to fight Google head on you're likely to lose. Better to find a niche, start making money and use that to improve your service.

Also, fix your email. I just sent feedback to customer-support@wozad.com and...

"Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist."

Thanks for your feedback George, the email problem is fixed. We did put a lot of efforts in this startup and our resources are very limited, both in financial and human resources terms. Perfection at the moment it's well beyond us. We mentioned the big Google with the intention to create some buzz and focus on the similarities between the two systems. Similarities that anybody can observe. Anyway your point of view makes perfect sense and your feedback has extreme value for us, again sincere Thanks.
