What is required to apply? Do you look for a prototype? Do you look at user growth rate over the past few months? How do you decide if an idea is really good?

I posted on Show HN. No luck so far in getting traction on it either. Any other ideas to get attention of HN users?

I have been a follower of justleak.it. Would you run into the same issues as them?
Re:How do you promote a new idea? on Monday August 11, 2014 @03:39AM (#8162343)
Thanks ejr, this is really helpful. I will do as suggested. This should also I believe improve our visibility in search engines.
Re:How do you promote a new idea? on Monday August 11, 2014 @03:38AM (#8162340)
Thanks for all your feedback. Appreciate it. I will create an about page and the motivation behind creating this site. I think it is a great idea.

I'm unable to remove my link that was posted 3 days ago. Delete option seems to be not there. I'll try posting a link to the about page as suggested.

Re:How do you promote a new idea? on Monday August 11, 2014 @03:20AM (#8162308)
I would love to. But not sure how to post to Show HN. I submitted my URL already without "Show HN" on title and it is now lost in the many discussions. Now, I'm unable to submit again.
Re:How do you promote a new idea? on Monday August 11, 2014 @03:09AM (#8162287)
I made this website (somevid.com) with one of my friends, so that anyone can easily share videos. No signup, no ads etc. It's fast, flexible. I posted two videos on reddit, tried approaching bloggers. No luck so far. How do you get video posters to use our site? We think it is great. But not sure what everyone else thinks.
