The downmodders are concerned because your post is an ad. Related to the thread? Yes.
But I see google ads all day that are related to content I'm looking at, and that doesn't necessarily mean I am happy about it.
Maybe a "Review my site" thread would be more appropriate.
I'm voting you up, though I'm not sure I agree with comparing an automated advertising system with a person that is just trying to engage in a conversation.
Anyways, we've done the "review my site" quite a while ago (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1075533), and got some useful feedback, though most of it was "color of the bike shed" discussion. I think that what the site needs the most now is breaking out of the chicken-and-egg problem.
(Still amazed how people are voting it down like I'm a scammer. I'm putting everything for free, and this is not even a "startup", just a side-project. If people took a look at the site, it would be a win-win. By shutting me off, it's a lose-lose. Go figure.)
If you are looking for jobs, you can browse at http://job4dev.com/jobs. You can filter listings by position, by tags, look for contract jobs only, telecommuting, etc. We just started scraping some of the most interesting job boards out there (e.g: 37signals, Stackoverflow, Ars Jobs), so we have a good number of jobs too.
We are doing a good job at making information easily available. What we need now is to have more users (job seekers as well as job recruiters) checking the website.
(EDIT: downmodders, could you please explain what you have against me talking about a website that is completely related to the thread?)
(EDIT 2: Appsaurus just put their listings over there. http://job4dev.com/company/hello-chair-inc. Thanks, guys!)
