VX site Revenue - Everyone Look

I am a VP Sales for www.farecompare.com and a VXer for the past 8 years this November.

I noticed that the we are looking to raise $300 for some reason. Site maintenance I assume. Whatever the reason. There is a very simple solution.

Add a few banner placements. 728x90 & 300x250 are the most valuable. I can't find the average monthly or daily number of visitors. If you can get me this number I can give you an approximate monthly revenue the site will generate.

Also, with my contacts I can put you together with the people to provide ads.

I'd rather not have adds on the forum, unless they are VX-related (Tone, etc.).

If we are providing "enough" revenue monthly by donations, then my vote is for no adds, period, though.

I think I read from Tom4Bren's post that your "Site Supporter" status stays for a year after you donate your $20. If all the 'active' members of the forum maintain this status, is that enough revenue to keep the forum healthy?

Is the $20 a year from each of the active members enough, and is that what's expected; or more per year? I know I easily get $20/month worth of advice from the forum, so I'm not complaining, I just want to know what is expected and I'll gladly do my part to keep the forum healthy.

I'll gladly pay to have access to a single adertisement-free website.

Push your junk somewhere else, Mike. ;-)

No worries guys. Making $$ is what i do, just thought I would lend a suggestion.

Yea capitalism! It’s very rare but you can have ads with out it being annoying. The best example of this is Google. The key is to have appropriate ads in the right locations. If it helps out Moncha then do it.

I think JoFotoz is on the right track here...

My take on this......

I figure this forum has SAVED me AT LEAST $500 in the last couple of years...

....so I donated 10% of that to the site ""upkeep"".

Its $50 ...no big deal on its own....BUT ...!

If all of ya 'all send in 10% of what ya save as a result of the info here...

...then we all continue to "profit" from this site.....

......and Scott can breathe easy.


Just my thoughts.....

Who could argue with logic like that? $20.00 a year is a bargain for the amount of $ you can save by following 1 or 2 "how to's".

CV boot replacement & window fixes come readily to mind...

And if you're here to sell services & or product to other members, there is no excuse for not being a contributing member, IMO, that should be mandatory.

OK, getting down off my soapbox now...
