I've often thought about creating products like these but as a one-man operation I am daunted by the "getting customers" part of the endeavour. How do you get a product like this into the hands of people who make the decisions in a business? (For anyone, not just OP). PPC AdWords campaigns? Cold-calling? Networking your ass off? Pay someone? Basically, how does one solve the "discoverability problem"?

The page is clear and easy to understand, looks good. Well done.
I like to say that anyone with a good old ThinkPad and an internet connection can mint fortunes and build empires :-)
I am especially thinking about Japanese. Our company could probably find good uses of such service if it had Japanese support.

Of course, there is absolutely no semantics, just display.
I would believe that. It was a pretty poor obfuscation method as they go, if it was intended for that.

Oh, I did. That's the flip side of my second paragraph above. When there's a business need to work around complications or obfuscations, that will also happen. :)
I've actually seen obfuscation used in a PDF where they load in a custom font that changes the character mapping, so the text you get out of the PDF is gibberish, but the fonts displayed on rendering are correct (a simple character substitution cipher).
The important thing to remember whenever you think something should be simple, is that someone somewhere has a business need for it to be more complicated, so you'll likely have to deal with that complication at some point.
