Pricing scheme aside (honestly I would pay for such a service if it comes with a nice little dashboard and some decent stats), What I really wonder is if it would have a load of backlash from customers coming to my.
Personally whenever any site does the "you are from Lexington!" I get a little freaked out. What else is it tracking about me? is it going to use this info for anything? I know all sites have the capability to track me, but it makes me uneasy when they are showing me they are actively doing so.
Still I feel like they nailed a key service which is "If they googled "free" offer them a discount". This kind of thing would be very, very good for buisness. This is probably the future of web advertising and marketing.
That's definitely a gaudy implementation. Who needs a salutation on a website? "Hello, from Lexington, KY!" just seems to be a callout, "hey look what we're using!" braggadocio from the developers/designers/CTO. Just adjust the page if you want, but you don't have to call attention to it.
They do. But personally I would rather include 1 paid service that does everything I need than 3 or 4 that are free. Every extra service that I add adds page load time and more javascript. The app I'm developing right now already has quite a bit of javascript so adding 3 extra scripts has quite a cost.
