It's probably for the best Drudge doesn't allow comments on stories

This is really really amazing. Good job!

Some feedback from someone who is also working on a subscription service based on cloud computing magic:

- Realistically, charging $20 - $40 a month means you'll need a lot of customers to signup to make anything significant in revenue.

- Acquiring new customers might be difficult for this type of service because direct sales would be too costly to make a profit. You would definitely need to run ads to gain a large customer base.

- If you run ads you'd have to position it as an up-time monitoring service since the volume around searches for automated headless browser testing solutions isn't going to be high. The cost of acquisition through marketing will be pricey especially since you offer a free plan that offers what most people would need.

- The Chrome extension is super cool and very impressive, but I think the average small business owner might be intimidated by all the javascripty things you throw at them on the landing page. A good tagline might be along the lines of "Know when something breaks on your site"

- You will spend a lot of time answering support emails.

- I can see this service really taking off if you find a way to bundle it with an eCommerce shopping cart. Maybe create a Magento plugin or Shopify app?

Thanks I appreciate it! Did you make a search?

Hey HackerNews!

We're proud to announce the launch of our one-of-a-kind source code search engine.

Our team is 2 recent graduates who are trying to undertake the herculean challenge of building a search engine.

Traditional search engines only index the text of webpages. We go deeper, and get all the HTML, CSS, Javascript, and more.

All feedback is welcome, we're new and trying to improve.

I apologize for my previous comment, I was reacting out of anger.

This is the page they copied http://nerdydata.com/home2.php. It was our wait list for the last 2 months while we developed our site, which now has a new homepage we put up last week. http://nerdydata.com

But no hard feelings, maybe you had the idea independently and happened to use the same exact theme and messaging.

This is an exact copy of my site NerdyData.com. Are you serious right now, I was using that layout just a week ago for my homepage!

You stole our idea and our theme verbatim? How can you live with yourself?

This is an awesome idea! Will you expand to cats?

Do any SEOs put thought into the internal linking structure of their sites?

It would seem that, because PageRank is divided amongst the number of links on a page, that a page with fewer links is more effective at passing link juice then a page with many links.
