Help Needed.... Busy Web Site, No Money !!!

tmcd

Hello there,
Anyone intrested in making some cash.....? Honest offer here lads.. I've got a site .. I have the traffic.... 36,000 hits since yesterday (usually get around 5000 hits a day) and i made a whopping €40... woo hoo!!!!
I'm flat out working for myself and haven't really had the time to look into how i could really generate an income from the site ... so if anyone is intrested in helping me make some real money from it, I'm all ears ... I'm willing to offer anyone 25% of all profits generated

PM for number. <sorry tmcd, dont like the idea of people posting phone numbers in a public forum. Too much chance it'll be taken advantage of etc. Use your PM to keep in touch or give an email, at least someone has the option of deleting spam>

Thanks

Tom

I like the website in your profile ! I couldn't believe it when I saw me at aged 7 sitting next to my best friend. Haven't seen the guy in years.

Please don't tell me its the website in your profile.

I presume you're referring to the '1995 definition' of 'hits' then?

Sposs

Thats one of the worst sites i've ever seen , whats with all the ****ing pop up's.

Philbert

One full page entry Pop Up and two full page exit Pop Up's!:eek:

I doubt any self respecting webmaster in this forum will help you unless you at least get rid of the feckin pop ups!

paulthelegend

by the way which site was it that was getting 36,000 hits? just curious and who has taken on the job and how much are you making now, im definitly not interested in taking it on but just interested how it turns out.

Ive never wanted to kill a webmaster so bad!

(My opinion)

Joke sites usually arent worth much and do not make much.

You may get alot of visits but rarly any repeat visitors since the purpose is served in 1 visit.

I think maybe the best thing you can do is try and get a mailing list and offer sales / promotions through that.

So that you can spam them?

Ethical.... maybe?

Yes, but its for a friends email address, not yours. So even with the tick box, that's pushing the definition of "solicited"!! Ethical, absolutely not!

Is'nt it usually "send this joke to a friend". They don't send repeat mails but offer the friend in that mail the chance to signup to a list/visit the site for more.

cgarvey

That would certainly be more ethical alright. Is it still unsolicited (by definition) if someelse submits your email address?

buddy

By definition Yes, but in practice people aren't peeved when its sent through this method, only if its pure spam technique bastids.

Speak for yourself, I'd certainly be peeved!!

Anyway, back to the original point (which is off-topic anyway!!), storing the "recommend a friend"'s address for later commercial use is bad.

Putting advertising in the one-off mail to the recommended friend, is fair enough as long as its within reason.

Would storing that address for future commercial use not be illegal, in Ireland, under the Data Protection Act (&Ammendments), as you don't have the consent of the owner? Grey area I'm sure!!

Ethically, anyway, it would be a low trick... and of all the various services and e-cards and crap that people have recommended to me, I've never got spam/future mailings from them.

Lads lads lads, how come all posts in newsgroups go way off topic,
Spam... 1 guy started to talk about, I sh*t on spammers, hate them with a passion!!! I do not collect any information from my site and never have
Hits.... Oh sorry!!! 5,006,448 page impressions in March 2005
Damnyanks you hit the nail on the head mate, About the return visitors, That’s being my problem since the site started, Well at least i thought it was but am starting to notice a trend, 4 years ago the site went mental in Australia, At the moment its gone mental there again. I also noticed the same with the Uk and America
bazH That’s funny, I used to think the same when I actually thought I was a web designer, 1 thing I learned, Its mostly not the layout buddy, Its the Idea. I might not be a designer but I've more brains than you to come up with an Idea that has attracted approx 15 million unique visitors.
Philbert My initial question was for someone to sort all that out for me, not for me to sort it out myself.
Sposs Its not really. Really? hmmm have to put you in my 1% of unhappy customers, The customer folder that was named for me as the "Get a sense of humour" folder
oldman29 Don't I know you ? give me a text sometime we'll have a bet on one of the matches


Of course lads I’m still open to offers mentioned in my first post, But at this stage they will have to be good ones as the site is doing quiet nicely now


All the best

Thanks for the feedback.
