I bought a partner account there, will see how it goes and be diverting one of the webmaters to do more submitting.
Here it is.
So it's been a long time since I posted anything, but not a lot?s happened. We were on holiday, the content business has taken off again and I had the flu. Anyway it's time for a small update.
Firstly we bought a new tour and put it behind the existing front page, sign ups went up and a lot of professionals told us it was confusing having two styles. But we stuck with it for a few weeks.
Then we took down the
FRONT PAGE and the conversion ratio dropped 50%. So we put it back up and instead of showing the last 3 days updates we now show the last 5 days.
On this months traffic to that page we are getting 1:75, all we do is a Chameleon auto submit and a couple of partner accounts. Up to our eyes in other work and lost the person who was submitting. Problem is this month we have only had 10k in hits, so not going to get rich on this site yet.
We have one affiliate still sending membership traffic and he's converting better than us. The rest either never got started, sent a lot of traffic in a few days, which did nothing and now send nothing or had a few sign ups and faded away.
The good thing seems to be the retention rate, we seem to be keeping people. Over 45% are rebilling and a lot are opting for 2 or 3 months memberships at the beginning.
So what is planned for the future? Well I?m working on this tour at the moment,
ALTERNETIVE TOUR it?s still in progress and needs some more work on it and I need the text written a bit better than my attempts. I want to try a different approach, I?m confident the surfer takes more notice of a different tour than the normal cookie cutter tours.
what this tour needs is some serious work without it turning out like a "Designed" site. Tell the surfer what to expect, and what's it will do for him and the quality of the content should do the trick.
We will be looking to buy another workstation in the office and get some one dedicated to submitting. We will also put the affiliate pay out up to 50% of all revenue and offer a bonus of a free Bargain Basement set for sign ups up to 10 a month and a Paul Markham set for those over 10. Will be looking at alternative hosting for the TGP/traffic side of the site and will thing about FHGs, we are giving out good free content though.
We will also be buying spots and traffic to see which ones work.
So that?s about it so far, over all very pleased with what it?s doing, know we have a long way to go before we rival anyone, but enjoying the learning curve. It?s very interesting what some people tell you and what you know to be true from your view of things
