feel the same!


The concept is nice. People at Product Hunt tend to appreciate these kind of things well. Hope you are on track with posting on PH as well.


Thanks! I'll post on PH this week.


The article is about the theme of the app I am currently working on. Get the app at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plusask.an... or http://plusask.com/app



Hi svk, the app tries to be more q&a centric rather than being a people centric one.


The idea behind this app is that most of the questions (be it trivial questions or pressing/burning questions for which we desperately need public opinion) asked by most of the people in our daily lives can be asked and answered in a simple and short manner without elaboration.


This looks like Plague! Any comments on how it is different?


Panteravaca, changing it to material design is on the cards. The idea behind choosing ":/ +ask" at the right bottom is to be consistent with the use of '+ask' throughout the QA card. Thanks for the suggestions. Will have to work on onboarding experience.


Penetrathur, the bottom 2 emoticons are for "I do not know" and "I do not know but ask others the question". Emoticons are used as substitutes for those texts. A click on any of them would give a hint on what their purpose is. Thanks for the comment.


Casseres, have noted down all of your points.

Thanks for the awesome feedback!


Though I have never worked in this domain, I can say based on my experience that - 1) It does not work if you have competitors (not just for your business but also for the keywords you target), which is a highly likely scenario. 2) It works only when a)you do not have competitors or b) when you target niche keywords, in which case volume might not be as expected. To actually understand whether it works or not before starting the campaign, list out all of the keywords and check the keyword volume associated and the companies that are bidding for the keywords.


How would it not work if there are competitors? Why would businesses be buying ads from the same space if there is no profit? If it didn't work, then there would be no competitors, and then it would work, based on your reasoning, since there is no competition.


It works with competitors, but it's really easy to find products with keywords dominated by expensive enterprise versions who overspend on AdWords, rendering it ineffective for smaller competitors. Just the way it is.


Thanks damoncali for the reply!


Damn, thanks for your feedback
