What kinda traffic are you getting Jamie?

**businesgoonline** · 02-14-2009 11:23 AM

yea, in order for us to advertise in ur website, u have to let us know at least which sector of reader are u targeting and which area is your reader from.

Ok guys. Getting around 9,000 hits a month, hence the reason why im not going into tripple figures for the cost of the advertising!

But this is only from the homepage, you will probably be targeting 25,000-30,000 people a month, becasue your adverts will be on every single page of the forum; even the member log in area!

About 65% from the UK, 25% from the USA and 10% from other countries.

Can I see some traffic screenshots? What do you use to monitor traffic?

Hi Sophie

I dont use a tracker, but I have this:

I payed to remove the built in adverts at about half eleven this morning, and the number you see was on 150,000 and its now on 149,711 which shows 289 hits today from half elevn this morning. This is only a count from the homepage, and today has, unfortunately been quite a quiet day

how many registered members you have, and i dont see any assigned PR for your website and you are still using free hosting from forumup?

**Jamie** · 02-15-2009 03:34 AM

I will be purchasing a new domain soon

UPDATE I am starting a new Professional Services Directory, and you can have a listing in there for £3 a month. If you have a professional service, and you want it advertised, take a look. This is a photography related site, and the sections you can choose from are:

Family and Portrait Services
Web Hosting Services
Model and Glamour Services
Other Websites
Personal Photography
Printing Services
Wedding Services
Other Proffessional Services

Hi Jamie!

First let me say that 9,000 hits/month (unique?) is impressive so keep up the good work!

One word of advice though is you might want to consider upgrading your forum board from phpBB to vBulletin as the latter have more "street cred" to business owners / advertisers versus the former that anyone can download for free. I'm definitely not against open source but when it comes to forum boards it's just the way it is.

**Jamie** · 02-16-2009 02:50 AM

Thanks for the positive words

If I did update, will that mean I lose everything in the forum? All adspace is still avaliable people!

**Jamie** · 02-17-2009 03:34 AM

No-body interested at all?

20000+ page views a month for only a fiver!

The VB platform is the way to go at the moment io am changing all my forums over the VB its not free but its the best out on the market,it has a facilty to import all your data from many platforms including phpBB so you dont loose anything.This Forum YE uses the VB platform the details are at the bottom of the each page.If you want to expand your site and get better revenue VB has to be the way forward.
