Great thread with lots of really valuable information.
I see no problem with a successful clips provider sharing some of this information. I actually see it as a benefit to the community. When more producers, providers, and webmasters begin to send some of their traffic to clips stores and site, whether it is to promote their own content, or to push traffic through an affiliate program (plug), it raises awareness of clips sites in general, which is still a fairly young concept. This is better for anyone that is getting into clips sales.
We see more and more membership sites losing members to vod and download sites, why not stay in front of the curve?
Barefootsies makes a hugely important point that I need to remind providers of all the time. We get traffic for the site, but that is mostly directed towards the index page. If you aren't updating pretty much constantly, you can only count on so much of this traffic finding it's way to your stores. This is why we offer an affiliate program. To encourage providers to send traffic to the site.
