Another company is advertising Google Adwords with our company's name, what can I do about it?

We have good traffic and pretty popular in our niche, and our competitor is actually using our company name as one of their Google Adwords keywords. So basically every time you search for our company's name, their company's ad shows up. I want to know if there's anything I can do about this. Can I sue them? or take action against them?

Should I spend a lot of time trying to get famous people to endorse my site?

Hi, I'm building a site, and I see a lot of websites have experts that endorse the websites.

I've just recently started emailing experts in my field to give me testimonials with not much help.

1. Is this something I should be doing now?

2. What is the best way to get these experts to respond and help me?

Outsourcing my idea? Pros and Cons?

I have a great idea and I would like to build it. However, I don't know how to code, and I cannot find a technical co-founder. Some people suggested that I outsource my app.

The things I'm worried about are:

1. How can I make sure they wont steal my idea?

2. How do I know the fee they charge me (per hour or not) is fair?

3. What can I do after the app is built? Do I continue to work with them, or maybe they can get the product off to a stable state?

4. What is the best way to qualify the team?

5. What can I do during the process? I'd hate it if I can only wait for it to be finished.

6. How can I monitor their work while they work?

Any other things I should be worried about?

Thanks!

Programming is quite difficult for me. How can I build a product without being able to code?

Hello everyone,

I am going through the Ruby on Rails tutorial in the guide, and while it seems quite easy, I don't think I'm a very good natural programmer, and still would like to find another way to build a website without knowing how to code. Is there a way? I know I should learn it, but I have tried and I don't think I'm cut out for it.
