Kent, I'd like to get you comments on this. The $, Im not so concerned about. It sounds like a fair and positive amount for a gross figure.
Its the issue of distributing only on your site that Im curious about. In the second half of 2007, we underwent major growth to our web site traffic as a result of expanding off-site distribution. Up until just several months ago, we have not been on YouTube, Blip or any other flash sites, for instance. As a result of being on YouTube and the various other sites like Yahoo, Blip, Dailymotion, etc. we obviously increased our traffic off site, but that also caused our on-site traffic to grow tremendously, as expressed in at least one way here on this compete graph: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/rocketboom.com+askaninja.com/?metric=uv While Rocketboom appears to be in a lesser position than AskaNinja in terms of traffic, even with our recent increase in onsite traffic, we still get the greater percentage of our traffic off-site. Thus the data does not represent our site as well as a site like yours where you have purposefully tried to corral your audience onto your site. Taking that into consideration, according to the graph then (which is at least relevant to itself), in terms of annual growth, the data suggests that the Askaninja site has grown 15.3% over the last year compared to 537% growth for Rocketboom over the last year. Our offsite growth has been even greater, obviously. So my first conclusion is to suggest that one good way to increase your numbers and drive traffic to your website is to distribute off- site. If you can provide a better experience on your site then anywhere else, it can work more to your advantage. Anyway, these graphs are always screwy and its not a lot of info to go on, but I wanted to get your take since the growth margin is so great. :P On Jan 3, 2008, at 11:00 PM, Tim Street wrote: > This would be a good question for Ask A Ninja. > > They are leading the pack and they now only post their videos on their > site and in their RSS feed and they are grossing $100,000 per month in > advertising revenue from their site. > > On Jan 3, 2008, at 7:55 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > >>>Make promos for your show and use TubeMogul to send your promos > > everywhere. > > > > Why not just put my videos everywhere?
