Agreed.
Back in the "good ole days" there were less than 5,000 (now over 20,000) stores. So it was all about the 'pop'. Neil bought traffic and threw it at the main page, also did his Howard Stern promos, among other things.
You would be on the main page for a few hours, or most of the day (depending on when you were around) and then you could take advantage of the 'pop' traffic and depend on it. As many did.
I, however, always promoted mine elsewhere. I hate being dependent on other people's traffic, or I should say
one traffic source. So I would add clip store links to my other things and drive some more traffic to the store. It has served me well.
The 'pop' was always nice, and I still consider it when doing updates. But I consider that gravy traffic, and do not bank on it. It is not clips4sale's responsibility to get me traffic.
