#2Are you really making enough from the ads on the bottom of the page to let it clutter up your design?
If you continued to develop this so your special offers would allow me to do whatever it is (send flowers, etc.) with one click or one reply e-mail, that'd be great.

I'm so on the fence with the ads. I agree they clutter up the design. We've made the big $0.04 on the ads so far... I'd much rather send well formed and target recommendations with the suggestions.
tl;dr - we'll probably kill them, but thought it would be cool to buy a beer with the proceeds.

I like the idea. Would definitely sign up, though would want to see an explicit statement that my email will be safe with you!

I'd have thought you could make more from affiliate links on your recommendations.

#6A bit of a blackbox from a user's perspective about what it will be they would be receiving beyond "it will be an email" and "it will have an idea".
From the stance of someone who may have just entered their email, before doing so it would be helpful to see an example of what it is we're getting ourselves into.
The pitch is too easily misconstrued to "every few weeks we'll ask you to buy something from one of our advertisers, so please sign up".
Perhaps a friendly use case/sample would be helpful here.

I bet we can... that's a great idea, thanks. It'll help us get rid of the ugly.

Cool, we'll add a privacy statement.

That's a great idea, and easy to show on an example page. Added it to the TODO - thanks!

#10It seems like a decent idea if that's what you really intend to do with it.
I'd get rid of the ads at the bottom though, kind of cheapen the look of the site.
