Buffer have a base rate and then an additional sum based on location. Locations are split into 4 categories depending on how expensive they are to live in. Seems like a fair way of doing it, but obviously depends on the employer.
I'm not sure how that's fair. Should they also adjust your salary based on how expensive your car is? The value you provide to them remains constant despite where you choose to live. Why should you be punished for living somewhere less desirable? Presumably part of the reason you would choose to live in a less expensive location is so you can save more money. This to me seems like they're pocketing money that should rightfully be the employees.
I like the transparency in theory. In practice I don't want my salary to be so easily determined by a quick web search. It could really inhibit my ability to negotiate a higher salary at my next job where they'll likely offer something like 5% higher than my current job. It's hard to justify a 50% pay increase.
I doubt most employers would hide that they're paying you less due to where you live. Instead I think most would bring it up in negotiations hoping to use it as a means of keeping your salary low. And honestly, the argument that your salary should be adjusted based on cost of living would work on a lot of employees even though it shouldn't.

I'm not a freelancer, but I have hired freelancers. You didn't say where you are based, but in London a normal day rate is anywhere between £350 - £550.
If you're a good PHP dev then don't talk that down—your client doesn't care what's cool at the moment. They're more interested in getting something that works and delivered on time.
If I wanted to be a freelancer that earned £1000 per week, I'd start by just telling people my day rate is £200 per day. Then use whatever personal connections, friends of friends, to find work and use that to build a early network of clients. The freelancers I've hired in the past are generally through personal recommendations so think about people who come into contact with your target market and approach them to see if they're willing to put a good word in for you.
If you're looking to be trained then you're likely to have more fun getting a permanent job where they're willing to invest money to train you.
Obviously, this is unlikely to happen over night so may not be the solution to your current problem.
I've signed up to about 4 different hosts recently (including Rackspace) to test them out. If I wanted to take you up on the offer would I have to sign up for a new account or can it be back dated?
I haven't tried the app yet but from the landing page I can see it being nice to use, although possibly not the best use of time!
I think part of the reason sites like 9gag have taken some share is their great mobile experience making it easy lazily browsing—however, I'm sure hardcore reddit users will hate it!
One quick potential problem I've found: it's easy to find out who the job is for by searching for a sentence from their post and finding other places they've posted.
I'm not sure how you're going to find a way around that unless you only show a unique summary of each post—enough to give a flavour and entice the signup, but not enough to give away who the job is for.
Or perhaps I'm just tight and others will be happy to pay for conveniences sake.
Perhaps the summary could be automated and be based on keywords like the experience needed, location, salary etc. That might be enough to give someone the gist and get them to pay.
Right now though, I'd rewrite the current job posts on there so they're unique.
