Step 1 is in motion.  We now have Amazon affiliate stores.  This basically just means by using our store links to buy stuff from Amazon, we get a small cut.  So use the store links whenever you can if you're planning on getting something from Amazon.

I think that looks great, perfectly integrated into the site. Sadly I rarely buy from amazon but if I do I will go through our links.

I still think we need something (I don't know what) to explain to new users that the GG Weekly is an ongoing conversation pit. If I had some flash skills I'd pt something together, but I don't.

When I first came back I went to the forums because that is what I know and are comfortable with, and didn't really get the rolling forum idea.

I do think that membership ranking is important in increase the site stickiness.  Every other community based group gives an incentive for joining, posting etc.. and it works.

Can someone with good graphic skills come up with some sigs we can use in other sites?

I just noticed there was a monster jump in visitors from July to August. What happend that month? It continued into September.

When was it that Punk mentioned our site on gaf? That wasnt to long ago.

I understand that optimally, the preference for rewards and a better explanation of GG Weekly, but I don't know in what way that is feasible.  I mean, we can't cut off reading the news or blogs or anything like that anonymously.  Meanwhile, that's the point.

I'll make some sigs, not that I'm much of an artist, but I can at least create some dynamic content (include an up-to-date post count and your avatar or something like that).

For the site bump, we did have an influx of traffic from GAF, but we also had a big jump in Google text and image search results for whatever reason.

Probably more cat porn or whatever this site is known for.
