I also have a "friends page" but youre right, people dont pay much attention to it, which is why I went for the rotating banners. I did add a "free videos" section which has some flvs from sponsors content, with links to their sites... that seems to get more hits than my "friends" page did. Hope this helps

This does help, thank you! I'm playing around with rotating banners now actually and that's a great idea about the videos page!! Having 32 paysites (and counting) I'm also looking for ways to do these things across-the-board instead of having to touch every HTML page like I do now.

Great ideas!!

Stuff like that. Don't make it too "marketing-ish" tho, try to make it cool, like "we're part of a community and just having fun"

It's funny because I've resisted marketing myself, the 'Mister Peabody' brand, for a long time now, instead concentrating on making the overall business grow and promoting other sites within my network. But now I realize I'm not hitting on one of my strengths - writing - and that doing a Blog, both inside the Mem Area and outside, is the way to go.
Hope all is well fine Harvey Sire!!
