AdNetworks for apps such as AdMob and Inmobi provide CPC/CPM ads but I'm wondering how much does it cost to get a new user for free iPhone app?Tapjoy offers $0.35+ per install but it seems too cheap. https://www.tapjoy.com/site/app_developers

I think it's better to put "rate" or "RMS" in the header/menu to distinguish from others.

I love your idea!

I'd recommend to start designing what you expect users to do in your service. For instance, when I visit your site as a new user, what do you want me to do?

Also I'd recommend to start from paper prototyping before writing codes. Once you build strong user flows, then hire/order design issues.
