comment high margin vs low margin
One factor that comes to mind is support. If you are a software service that requires ongoing support for your users then the number of users vs. price matters in that regard. If you are just selling products and they don't come back, then there are other factors in play. I think the nature of the business will affect which factors you should consider.

comment How much Apple will cut my revenue from selling items (e.g. shirts) in an iPhone app?
Good point Ryan, it certainly needs to be considered. I guess my experience was that you don't get a straight answer from Apple, they basically said submit your app and see what happens. With this is mind, other companies experience may be the best you get.

comment How to determine competitor's pricing model when impersonating a customer is challenging
My experience is that the person that executes better wins, not the person that puts profits above ethics.

Ethical behaviour and success in business are not mutually exclusive. I would consider the values you want your company to have before embarking on a strategy like this.

Thanks, Page Number was what I was after. I don't know why I couldn't find a tool, I guess my search terms weren't well chosen.

There are some facebook ads you can do that have the "like" embedded in the ad. I don't think they even see how many fans you have at that point, so maybe that's an option.

comment Ads or no Ads for a web app?
It obviously requires more intricate knowledge of your business, but it would be a real shame if you need to have no login as your point of difference. Really no login is a short-lived benefit and really restricts your options for both monetization and even features. Can you be innovative to make the login seamless?
