I like the clean layout, but I'm completely lost on a few things 1) what exactly is the problem you are trying to solve? I read the 'about' page, and I still don't get it. this probably leads to 2) why am I buying content that is freely available? 3) what does 'adjust' mean? a tool tip on both buy and adjust might be a good idea. 4) your statistics list current/previous -but previous to what? previous entries from that user? that's the closes I could figure. 5) i just clicked on the 'nope' for not a content owner, and the 'buy spot' link takes me to 'submit new content', but I'm not a content owner. is that right?

sorry guys, i'm completely lost as to what you are trying to accomplish. hopefully it is just a messaging adjustment for you and you're off to the races.

congrats on the launch though.

Yeah, I'm totally lost too, after reading the about and how it works pages. Just not sure what problem I have that it's trying to solve, that something else doesn't already solve anyway... Care to clarify on here?

you have historical + real-time statistics to base your submission decisions on before spending any money.

the sites that drive lots of traffic do so in opaque ways. as a result, people try to manipulate them (e.g. google, digg).

this is a completely transparent solution, in theory at least. let me know if this makes sense - no doubt an ongoing process of perfecting the pitch.
