According to Alexa

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_.../www.oprano.com

Now We will prolly drop away (Oprano is notoriously quiet on weekends , and Alexa does go mad occasionally) but over the past week or so we have been going great guns according to our own internal stats.

Congrats and Thanks to all the members :)

Makes a sunny Sunday even better with news like that :okthumb:


:wnw:

it is good to see the quantity of posts has surpassed one of the other various boards that are out there,

However it is the quality of Oprano that has been and will always remain the far superior place to get all of your webmaster needs at!

:okthumb:

Sweet!! :)

Impressive, and it was done without paying for posts, giving away points, sig whores, and every other waste of time that is used to inflate board traffic with worthless drivel.

Good job guys!

We've over taken Oprano...

;)

Alexa means absolutely squatt though, it just means more people visit GWW and Oprano with their toolbar installed than visit JBM ;)

Ummm no you haven't you are bellow us...

Check it again :)

Plus we are a chatboard , you are a resource. LOL

Oh and not forgetting , you are gay

;-)))

Well shit, that explains everything :) LOL

I think it does....

:ph34r:


;-))))))

Contest runs out and the board dies. Im sure we will see another pay for posting contest very soon.

Am i missing something...

JBWho?

Hahahahahaha :lol:


Now thats humour :okthumb:

congrats oprano. :)

Caught 'em between contests....

I have a hard time believing how many people will actually spend time on a board just for the chance at $100 or so.

The contest money is gravy (good thing since my food seems to have been dry for a few months). I make pretty damn good money from posting over there - and here. :) Not to mention I can post on several boards, answer emails and ICQs all at the same time - all money makers.

Throw in a phone call and it all goes to hell in a handbag though :(

Excellent ploy.... run a contest...subsidised by other sponsors and then refuse to pay up. Thats how to get your bank account nice and fat.

First time Ive seen a sponsor shaved though!

Congrats Nick!

JBMs house of cards is falling down lol....there bt stats took a massive shitter and now there precious alexa ratings have taken a massive shitter lol...

The only thing Brad will be bigger than all other boards is having a bigger ego and being a bigger wanker lol, having pornoman as his partner must really piss brad off and drag down his winning formula, pornoman does nto have a massive ego, and hes a nice guy, how he got mixed up with brad who fucking knows:) Without Brad JBM would be a cool board:)

hmmmm that reminds me I need to take a Brad ... Pitt that is ..

Well, you're a professional Sig-Ho....that's kind of a different animal. As is those who are employed by a board or have some sort of equity interest.

Those type users will be there whether the paid posting or contests were there or not.

It's the guys who'll suddenly dedicate a significant portion of their day to hanging out on a board just because there's a contest going or they're paying double reward points, or whatever that I dont get.

Yeah, the business is tougher now, but if they applied that same amount of time to growing and grooming your little empire, you'd make much more in the long term.

Maybe I"m wrong about that and finally the cost of entry has started to turn. There's not a lot of free sources of traffic these days. Even the TGPs are mostly pay to play or you gotta spend the money to have good hosting and content that is pretty fresh.

HP is calling me a Ho :( Next thing you know he'll say I could lose a few pounds!!! :unsure:

do that and I'll be looking for anothe robject of interest...
good ass is hard to find
:)

I think Alexa is the best benchmark we have.

Added to that, I set up a brand new PC the other day and before I connected it to the net, I ran a few checks... and it already had Alexa data miners on it.

whats more important
alexia, or checks hitting the bank?

compare sponsor lists between the 2 and youll notice whos doing better :biglaugh:

hmm yeah,

I wonder who said:

"Only newbie fret over hits..."

Good Job Guys, time to take over GFY .... But all those obnoxious GFY'ers can stay there - lol ...

I wonder if those Post number XXX wins $XXX.XX contests are actually worth it to the sponsor ? And if it is you would think that just like porn surfers and trial memberships the value of such a contest went downhill as more and more companies have them... Anyone have any thoughts on this?

hmm yeah,

Seessh if you are gonna quote me , do it right.

Newbies fret over stats...conversion ratios etc...

Having hits or sending hits is the first step on the road to riches....

First you get hits , then you maximise them.

Without traffic its all bullshit , like the butcher's board.







fucking welshman...

Gee and some say smoke and mirrors don't fool people anymore! LMAO! :moon:
