Title seams kinda of skeptical, I'll believe it when I see the source code.

I do consulting around enterprise software and typically make about $1500/month. It's not quite passive income because it requires me to work in the evenings but its not bad.

You make very valid points. I don't think I will get thousands of users unless this goes viral. As an advertiser, you would pay to make sure ur ad posting remains at the top because it's ordered by amount.

I used Adsense for a blog i made and then got banned before a payout as well. However, I was clicking my own ads unaware that it can get your account banned. It's been a few years not and they still haven't reenabled my account.

It's not required :) I should remove them entirely. People might get intimidated by all the input fields.

A company would benefit by getting more traffic to their site if a user clicks on their link. Right now it's very minimal, it doesn't have anything I agree, but I plan on making it so you can upload some type of banner or something. I figured nobody would take the time to create a banner and upload it so that's why I just have their logo and URL, it's easy to enter that basic information for a company. If the site gets enough traffic, the companies at the top of the list would get the most visibility ofcourse.

It was at a bad time. Its not like I sent out millions of emails.

I'm not trying to span people. Just showing HN my site and seeing if I get suggestions. If you don't like it, go read another article.

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.

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

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.
