Someone must be on there way already. Hope they post what they found.

Price of testing on multiple flavors of web browsers: An internet connection & a few virtual machines to run versions of IE/Firefox.

Price of testing on multiple android devices: Thousands of dollars to purchase new phones without a contract.

So I assume that your third attempt based on "becoming their competitor or improving upon" strategy.

If so, how difficult was it (or how long did it take) to get organic traffic/customers through google, etc. Since I would think your competitors were more "established" in the pagerank, seo etc.

Basically, I'm just wondering how hard is it to get traction against entrenched players. Even if your product were superior, you still need to draw traffic to sell and prove it.
