Thank you for great feedback, very much appreciated! We will definitely try to make things very obvious when it comes to leaving our site for the final destination that should be an applications website or an app store.
I also answered some of these thoughts in my reply to imdhmd.
We're always trying to improve the site but the design for the desktop version of the site hasn't been worked very much on lately. We are aware that there is always room for improvement.
Ads: we need them. Sorry.
List of alternatives not prominently visible: The problem here is that we don't know exactly why a visitor is coming to an application page. It could be to find alternatives to the application or it could be that they are interested in the selected application because it was listed as n alternative to something they want to replace. I absolutely understand what you're talking about here and we have some plans already to make this better, but after we discussed your comment we came up with a even better solution that we hope we can do something about this fall.
UI is cluttered: We have plan to hide more stuff. There is a plan.
Thanks a lot for the great feedback! We appreciate it.
Thanks, we'll be sure to think about how we can make this better. The button/link is actually pretty big for all apps that don't have any additional links (like to app stores). See AOL Reader as an example. Is that reasonable or would you prefer something else?
I'm not interested in arguing about Google's reasons for linking to us but I just wanted to point out that it was not 217.000 pageviews but rather "users" or "uniques". Pageviews were 2-3 times that number.
I just HAVE to ask :)
Anyway, that doesn't look good and I'm sorry for that. I use a Wordpress theme that I bought and I guess it just doesn't support your browser.
