I have a cunning plan...

Sod all from advertising.

What's the nature of the site. The only content I would pay for would something I was passionate about, say Manchester City FC, and could get something I couldn't get elsewhere.

So what is the nature of the business and what will the website offer

**Incubus** · 20 September 2002, 11:37

I don't want to say too much - it seems to be a real niche, and posting the gory details on a bulletin board would be a bit silly of me...

Although different in nature, it's a site similar to friends reunited, but provides a service - I don't expect traffic to be anything like FR - but I'm hoping to offer the service for free, which should increase traffic.

Not sure how to run with it..

Cheers,

Kev

Names, Faces, Places is like FR, they weren't getting anywhere near the hits.

Think those kind of sites have had their day and it was a 2001 thing. Hardly any new people on FR from my schools.

Maybe I confused you.

It doesn't provide the same service as FR but is similar in style, in that it links people together, much like a dating agency site would...

But that isn't what the site is.

You're very vague...

'I've got an idea, can't tell you what it is, hush-hush, how do I go about putting it onto a web-site'.

People only pay for porn

I'm not looking for help, free advice, etc. I'm looking for somewhere that will give me statistics on the type of income I can expect for a level of web traffic.

**FLEETWOOD1975** · 20 September 2002, 14:57

Vague answer for vague question

You can expect an income of 'I' for a level of web-traffic 'W'.

Fleetwood,

Surely it's W*x=I where x = a metric indicating revenue

I have a cunning plan...
