Well, fuck.
 

My website has been up for almost a year and a half now. At first I had about a good 15-30 people checking out my website (for about 6 months), but with my lack of meaningful/useful content, nobody has any reason to visit it.

I need some Ideas. I was going to start a big project to attract some new people (something called "the city"), maybe advertise it freely a bit, but I just havent gotten around to it/dont have the time right now. The project I'm looking at could take literal months to finish, if I worked on it atleast four hours a day.

Eh, I dont know... I still might do it. I just need to sit down and do some thinking first.

What kind of stuff would you guys like to see on a website?

This is my website right now: triplechin.net (purposely removed the url tags as to prevent being accused of advertising). Notice the shitty messege boards... Maybe it'd be good to start there?

I would suggest (Because of the name of the URL) that you post pictures of the chins of different ethnic groups around the world...

But then I thought, nah...Not many people would be interested in that; I'd probably be the only one to visit the site if that ever happened... :p

I don't have any ideas myself, sorry...I've routinely tried to build websites of my own, but they fail, primarily because the content is so bland that I don't even care to update it myself... :rolleyes:

Take it down.

I payed money for the .net domain (not much at all... I think it was like 30 bucks), so if I dont make good use out of it I'll be wasting money.

Make it community-oriented. That's the only way things survive, and are still interesting.

That's a good idea... I should probably start with a new messege board.

Anyone know of a good, free messege board?

Graphic sites are starting to kind of become taboo. It's like they're the norm, so I'd try to stay away from a portfolio type thing. Try posting news articles. That's something that gives you new daily content, and gives people a reason to visit on a daily basis. Try to find a certain type of news that you think would most appeal to the kind of audience you'd most like to attract. This also goes good with a community theme.

That would be cool if I had the time and money to do hardware articles...

lol $30 you got ripped off.

$30 a month or a year?

he said for the domain, not hosting, so I would assume per year. which is a rip because domains are like $10

$30 for a year of hosting isn't bad. I paid $15 for my domain name, and $15 for a year of service with I think 2 gigs of bandwidth for my old Studio16.net website.

But then I got poor and uncreative and couldn't think of anything to do with that one either, so I just didn't renew.

$30 for TWO YEARS.

Comes to like 23 or some-odd pounds.

I mean, come on, put it in common terms...

so who do you pay to for a domain? and why exactly?

It doesnt matter.

Edit: Hmm, Looks like I'm paying less than I thought. Turnes out, it was only 17 bucks for 2 years (name**********), not one :p.

For a useless site you have no ideas, content, or anything of a vague interest to anyone for.

Why exactly do all you people have sites anyway?

I made it for fun, and Was going to try to attract an audience.

That's all. Recreation.

Raz, do you want my CT? I mean, really.

I hate ct's. ;)

I know, but it just seems so.. fitting. ;)

$30 haha

Mine was $4, and someone bought it for me :D

edit: $17 haha

edit: Whoops, just saw the edit above ^

yea, but 8 bucks a year isnt bad.

Fixed.

Triplechin.net.. Make it a fatso porn site and make some profit :p

My cousin can be a model for it, shes like 500lbs.

There is one axiom in the process of creating a good site: Content Is King

Fill it up with spyware.

I have my site because I was completely bored and had nothing better to do.

My site sucks tho. I spent more time on the 404 page than I did for any of the other pages.
