Ask HN: Review my simple Craigslist ad tracking - first web app

Hey HN,

I'm an Electrical Eng. with an interest in web stuff. I built my first web app, www.ClassyTracker.com, to scratch my own itch - I wanted an easy way to track my Craigslist ads. Please let me know what you think, and any suggestions for improvement. Is it a tool you'd use? Would you pay a fee to get detailed stats, see longer stats, or other features? My goal was to make something so simple that even my mother could use with no problem. Thanks!

Nice landing page. Really nice.

Your hit counter should distinguish for unique hits though - the sample tacker below doesn't.

I can't take too much credit for the landing page. I'm not a designer, so I got it off of ThemeForest.

Hits vs. Uniques would be nice. I'll have to think about how to do that.

Not just the design, but the copy too. Concise and to the point. Effective.
