it's a bit of a vicious cycle. if you don't have the capital to buy content (for retention), advertising (for exposure) and bw/hardware (to keep things running fast and smooth) - it's very difficult to grow.

for example, I now spend 65-70K US/month on expenses. That's 2300/day. 10K would last me 4 days. of course, i also pull in 210K/month total revenue.

my point is simply this: to optimize the profitablity of a paysite, it should be scaled up as far as possible. If you have great content, you only need to pay for it once, whether 1 member views it, or 10K members view it (excluding bw/hardware costs, which are much better than they were a couple of years ago).

blah, blah, nevermind ;)

Bad math....

He said;

210,000 daily bookmarks
387,000 daily trades-in
150,000 clicks / hour



150,000 clicks an hour is 33,000,000 clicks a day!!!!!
33 million clicks a day!!!

How do you get 33 million clicks a day from a site that only has 597k hits a day?
