My First sucessful website

hostaphoto.net
I started this site about 1 1/2 months ago and about a week ago I started advertising with google adwords. Now I am averaging about 40-50 new pics uploaded per day. I usually come out about even or I will make alittle bit of money of adsense. Now I have been recieving repeat users and 68 users have put hostaphoto in their favorites. As each new day goes, I spend the same amount of money on adwords and recieve more and more hits on the site. You might say that its not that succesful because its not making money, but its the thrill of creating a web site that is used so much by so many people.
nice.

Im sure you will start making money, after all you do have Google Adsense on your website. The only thing you have to do now is keep trying different positions for your ad's and see which position max's out your revenues.

Also "Click the banners on top and on the bottom."

I think saying that is against Adsense rules im not sure? but if it is they will count on that to not giving you your money.

Hope that helped.

very cool - it is a success! Good luck with it --- and worry about building a good product (or website in this case) before you start thinking of how to make $$ off it. Even if thats the end goal, if for a couple of months you focus on the site itself, I feel that it will come out great! just my opinion -- again great job!

Nice Going Man
You spoke about Google Adwords, it seems to be a smart choice is theory, but some persons who have used it, didnt like it too much
How was it for you?

WTG on getting a good start on building your memberbase. But do watch out for Google. Encouraging visitors to click on your ads is a big no-no and a quick way to get the Larry and Sergey boot up your rear.

No offense: but the site looks quite similar to every other Hosting Picturessite on the web. How do you plan to differeniate from them?

Hi,

Congratulations! Your website is pretty "young" and if you're seing these results right in the beggining you'll probably start earning more sooner or later.

I really think you would be able to get better results if you changed the images in your website...you should try to make it look "cleaner". I like the fact that your website is very SIMPLE and right to the point. Get some better images and your visitors will probably want to stay longer in your website.

In case you need a logo take a look in my website, we're designing custom logos for $ 10 dollars. =D =D =D

See you!!!
