personally i think that there are so many sites writing about web apps. so i guess it would be quite difficult to get people to your site.
i had a look at your landing page.
there are lots of links on the page, but i couldn´t find a single one doing anything. as a user i don´t know what´s up. remove links that you dont use.
the go for it button, does it anything?
the text in the center of the page is about your service and the first app in the contest. i´d split that up and try to make the texts as short and simple as possible. many people (including me) will leave the site without reading the text.
thanks for stopping by and giving your honest feedback.
first let me clarify that this will not be a site writing about web apps. i didn't want to join the already crowded space. Apps To Win will host contests from fellow startups by asking questions about the services they provide and the problem they are trying to solve. the winners will receive either the free subscription as prize or any goodie item like iPad or iPod Touch etc.
i agree with your comments on the landing page. i just scrapped a landing page to see how much people are really interested in the concept. i will redesign the landing page with probably a sample contest soon.

so i propably didn´t completely understand what the site is about :)
perhaps a simple slogan or some wording changes could make that even clearer
wish you all the best
martin, modified the landing page along with a sign-up page. please sign-up if you are interested.
