Show HN: I made this site, I need HN to give it some traction

Yes, that is very true. This is kind of where I got my inspiration for this site. The difference is that I'm allowing people to post their ads for free and then seeing if people are willing to pay for being at the top of the list. We'll see if this actually works, like I said it's an experiment but will only works if enough companies register.

App Not Setup: The developers of this app have not set up this app properly for Facebook Login.

That's weird, I can log in using my facebook. Anyone else have this issue?

This reminds me of http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/

That was the inspiration that made me attempt this same idea 8 years ago, when I was at college. I called it depositorybox, and the idea was people would deposit a message and money to get it higher up the page.

It didn't work and I learned I had to earn money like regular people.

Can you tell us something about the idea and why you think it is different?

I'm basically trying to create another medium for small companies to get traffic for cheap. It's much like http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/ but I'm allowing companies to post their ad for free. Right now it's fairly simple, it's only the company logo and a link to their website but I will eventually add additional information. I want to first see if this actually works and I get enough companies registering.
