So to keep you all updated this is the story so far.
The front page will stay as it is, but might compress it a bit. We have a problem with the server and that will be resolved.
The tour is still converting around 1:100 on traffic we are driving from TGP, Link Dumps and the content stores. Anyone stealing content will find our URL all over it and have a problem when sucking it down in vast amounts.
I have found gallery views slowed down recently, however visits to the site stayed firm.
We have started the affiliate program and testing it out with a few friends to see how it goes and how their traffic compares with ours. Only started yesterday so too early to tell.
If things go well next week with the affiliate testing I will email those who bought content from us and take on a few more affiliates. Then we have our holiday so not rushing to fast.
I'm trying to find a designer to do another tour, but to date not impressed with anyone. So I layed out my own tour and waiting for some quotes. Also need to get banners and TGP & Freesite galleries done.
Like the ideas of the mags and will use that, but unless I see conversions dropping it will stay and we will offer affiliates different options. We have a few clients making big bucks of unconventional tours. I feel the surfer is getting bored with the same old cookie cutter tour and maybe that is the plus on our site. Who really knows though.
Until we get more traffic and new tours it's all guess work.
CCBILL is definitely more favoured by the surfer, probably because the guys signing up know them from before.
Looking for new content has been a waste of time, can't find anyone with content to compliment ours. So far.
