Slow Growth

I'm here to report that www.funfoll.com is growing slower than I would have hoped. Much slower ::- (. While this wasn't unexpected, it certainly isn't a good news. I had hoped that we would be in a much better position at the end of July, but we aren't. Fortunately, it appears that we can keep ourselves above the 1000 users per day barrier rather easily. The average for the last few days is 1500. So, the site has been growing in the past two weeks, but simply not enough.

I have been personally adding content to it and keeping things running smooth. My involvement is greater than before, mostly because due to lack of funds, we can't afford a content manager. So I'm it for now. I will not let www.funfoll.com die, that's for sure. As a matter of fact, several improvements are in plan, such as a personal blog for all users and an easier to use content-adding system, which will be used to make www.funfoll.com a moderated community content website, but also allow me to easier add content to it. Right now the development team for the website consists only of me and Gabi, who is responsible for the programming. We will continue to improve www.funfoll.com and hopefully we will see regular above-2000-visitors-per-day figures in the coming month of August.

And now, here's your reward for reading yet another boring post of mine ::- D, straight from the pits of www.funfoll.com

Advertising Campaign Paused

As of two weeks ago, we have five Google Advertising campaigns running to advertise www.funfoll.com using their Google AdWords service. However, the results are not spectacular, and I decided to pause them all for a little while. We have to improve a few more things at the website and add more content to it before we resume advertising.

Right now, the website is growing again, after one month of almost total stagnation due to the problems our company had. I am personally taking care of adding new content to the website right now, and soon, I will get some help from some of my friends. But the content of www.funfoll.com will continue to be moderated, in order to make sure of its quality.

And, like tradition dictates, here's something from our database of fun:
