awesome, thanks! it's http://styleguidance.com http://styleguidance.com :) I've had very good response from the alpha for it, and everyone seems to love it.
I'm going by the rate of return on ads I've seen in the past. Sure you get a ton of clicks, but only a tiny portion actually registers. Way below that 10% you've talked about.
No I trust you, I had a launch similar like that with another site. Had 60K the first two days. 20K on day 3. Then it slowly dwindled down to 1000 users a day. Those seem pretty loyal, but the problem was that it was a content site, that was generated entirely by me, and it wasn't worth focusing all my energy on something that brought in 2-3 bucks a day.

- jacquesm 17y agoOk, one link is up, let's see if you can 'catch' some of these visitors, will do another one on a different site. The text I gave the link is: "If you (or your significant other) want to look your best" If you want a different text let me know. Ads are imho a waste of money unless you have a direct track between click and sale and you can measure very accurately which dollars spent give you how much worth of income.
- vaksel 17y agoawesome thanks! yeah that text should work. Agree fully on the ads, the only reason I spent any money, was because I had some facebook and adwords credits. And since I'm not even running any ads now(don't want to scare off users), there is no X in ads = X new subscriptions. Oh btw, I have the url fixer plugin for firefox, and it "fixed" your site to www.com, happened like 3 times before I realized what was going on, you should email that developer and tell him to whitelist your exact url. If that works, you'll get a ton of extra traffic. The guy behind that plugin is http://www.chrisfinke.com/ http://www.chrisfinke.com/
- jacquesm 17y agoThanks for that heads up, I never realized that, I sent him an email. edit: ok, second link is also up, together that should get you about 3.5M exposures per month, I'm really curious what it will do for you.
- vaksel 17y agono problem, good luck with that. Actually I just checked out and www.com appears to be a domain squatter(although he sells www.com email addresses, but there is no site), maybe you could even convince him to change www.com to ww.com
- jacquesm 17y agoI tried buying the domain of that guy years ago, he's not selling. [envy] It is probably the best ROI anybody ever made. I wouldn't be selling if I were in his shoes either, he gets 150K uniques daily on that domain without lifting a finger. [/envy]
- vaksel 17y agooh yeah def a smart move on his part, kinda like that secretary who registered citigroup
- teej 17y agoIt can't be -that- great. It's all junk traffic, so the CPMs probably suck. My friend owns netflicks.com which redirects to Netflix with a referral link and makes a bit more than www.com probably does.
- jacquesm 17y agoAt a conservative 1ct per click we're talking 1500 dollars per day here. I'm not sure what your definition of 'not all that great is'. As for your friend, he could lose that domain in a heartbeat if netflix set their mind to it.
- revorad 17y agoHey vaksel, styleguidance.com looks like a really good idea. Just this morning on the bus to work, I was thinking how one could use existing technologies to solve more mundane everyday problems. Your website seems to me a perfect example of that. Good luck!
- vaksel 17y agothanks :) I actually started this site, because I always have problems deciding what to buy. I think I own like 3 or 4 things, that I bought myself, the rest I had to get a second opinion to makeup my mind
