CoffeeFiend Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I had no idea Starbucks in Canada were like McDonald's in Russia! Dude!Never been to Russia, so no idea. But it's jam packed with university students. In fact, sometimes I almost wish for double price coffee, so there would be place to sit down for sure I'd sure love to visit a Starbucks that looks like this though.Do either of you have your own websites?I don't have anything special to talk about so I don't have a personal website. There's well over 100 million blogs out there, so I don't think starting yet another one is going to really change anything. I think it would mainly be a drag (a commitment to write something worthwhile regularly). Definitely not my bag.
cluberti Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Do either of you have your own websites?Yes, I do.
RaGhul Posted April 16, 2010 Author Posted April 16, 2010 @CoffeeFiendThat DOES look like a cool Starbucks. I love looking up pics of American brands in foreign countries, too. A Navy friend of my sister sent her a gift package for Christmas. We were about to eat the Snickers bars when I noticed they had Arabic written on them!!@clubertiYes, I do.THAT'S specific! What's the name? You got any websites besides cluberti.com? How much traffic do you get?
cluberti Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 cluberti.com is the only one I work on personally - I do a lot of web dev for others, but I don't go posting my client list. One, my employer would probably not appreciate it, and two, it's really not relevant.
RaGhul Posted April 17, 2010 Author Posted April 17, 2010 I'm not getting jack-squat for hits. Any ideas?
Tripredacus Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 I'm not getting jack-squat for hits. Any ideas?It depends on how you connect to your community. I have a website that was Transformers related and I integrated with that community. This was able to "Get the word out" in a way that plain old search results wouldn't do. I do not know how many hits I get because I haven't had stats on my website for a few years now. In fact, my current website is out of date and was only re-uploaded for the use of people in the Transformers community. I think my glory days are behind me. My best was I got 1 million hits in October 2005 and since then I wasn't really concerned about hits anymore.
CoffeeFiend Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 I'm not getting jack-squat for hits. Any ideas?Just like I said before. You're competing with over 100 million oher blogs (many of which are tech-oriented; and a new one is created every half-second or so) so your site is mostly lost in a sea of other blogs. You're also competing with dozens of well established "techy" sites (anandtech, gizmodo, engadget, etc) that have strong financial backing and a large full-time staff (and contacts with manufacturers, etc), and news aggregators too (reddit, digg, slashdot, etc).Good luck. And yes, this is exactly why I don't have a site.

CoffeeFiend Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 You should make a website about Coffee. I imagine much less competition! You'd be surprised... There's a few pretty good sites out there, and there's only so much to say about that besides [fairly subjective] equipment reviews. I'll just stick to drinking the stuff
