15,000 visitors can make a site busy

by Sapphire (May 17, 2007)

Project B-2 Bomber is likely to hit 15,000 uniques this month. Because it’s a community-based site, this means a lot of work for yours truly. Comment moderation - not just deleting bad comments, but telling bad commenters what they’re doing wrong so your good commenters understand what’s acceptable and what’s not… there’s a lot of thought and a lot of clarification involved in all that.

But I feel like a tipping point is in sight. We just keep coming up with new ideas for the site, and I get help implementing them. It’s a lot of work now, but I’m starting to see ways I can back off a little now. For example, I no longer need to respond to everyone’s comments (thus encouraging them to return and comment more) because enough people are now commenting for everyone to get some attention.

What I’ve been busying myself with, however, is writing articles for that site. That’s where my inspiration’s been this past week. I decided to go with it instead of forcing myself into a rigid schedule involving all my sites. Can’t say what the effects will be (though I’ve left sites alone for much longer than a week before), but I certainly had a nice week and the monthly revenues look to be about what they were last month.

    I know many affiliate marketers don’t like sharing their sites (I am one of those people lol). But, if you need help moderating let me know ;) I have my own forums and plenty experience.

    Thanks! For now, some of the others working on it are taking up the slack, but I’ll keep your offer in mind. :)
