        The site is currently built using Wordpress... I like the ability of having a tiered approach for pricing... I don't think I would ever completely remove the free tier, as my data is incredibly helpful to a lot of people so want to still offer a value resource to all. Just some better/more advanced stuff for the others that would like more... Removing ads as a tier is a good idea as well.

            Yeah, think that makes sense. I like using the auto-responder emails to push the subscriptions and affiliate links... Seems to work pretty well.
