Tony, if you are developing a site, it would be easier to appraise that based on traffic and usage.

Otherwise, this name alone is at least reg fee.

Very strong phonetics and a cool sounding name that may brand itself well to an arcade sight.

Bring it on!

site is developed and has traffic.......any feedback?

I should of have visited your site first before posting earlier....scratch it.

Long time loading, lots of pop ups.

I see the stats which is not bad for a new venture.

Catchy name. I'd be interested in knowing the traffic and revenue in a couple of months.

Sometimes, it doesn't have to mean a thing. Like you say, its a catchy name.

My ceuq.com means nothing except to those that know it and use it. 105,000 users in 2005, 355,000 users in 2006, and already more than 150,000 users for 2007.

I don't even worry about the page ranking and all that. No intention of selling. Purely a specialty site that has grown by leaps and bounds.

Wish you the best and it seems you have a great start...and name!

Thanks Doc! Wow....nice on your cueq.com site!.....how did u get that kinda user traffic?.....any tips?>...

id love zikada to have half of that...

Started out word of mouth, popular search rankings, and just the word spreading around. Should hit 500k this year.

Have 9000 postcards that I am getting ready to mail out to all the hospitals in the nation. Wow, what a postage bill. Will do a couple thousand at a time. 24 cents each. Will have a company meter them for me. That will add about another $350.00.

If it pays off, users will perhaps number in the millions. All free to use site, all medical specialties represented. Value, marketing, and branding. That is what brings the traffic.

Soon will be selling space to hospitals to post jobs etc. Huge shortage and paying a pile of money week after week for ads that get no results. With this one site, advertisers will be able to reach hundreds of thousands of medical professionals in all specialties. Looking to hopefully add national sponsors such as a medical equipment manufacturer or drug company.

I am not too crazy about the link exchange thing but it ideal for your site. I have CJ and LinkShare ads on the backend of the site. These were just recently added. Not sure if there have been results. I know my wife uses them to shop.

I will remove all of these once sponsors pay to sign up. I wanted to get my numbers up before marketing the site to potential sponsors. Now numbers are up so time to market.

Plus, it never hurts to help others out.

wow....hey thanks Doc!!....i just sent you a pm.....i didnt even see your link until now.....thanks!!....u want me to return favor on zikada site?....

any other thoughts/feedback?

thanks

 

[Gerry]

Added the link while you were sending the PM.

If everyone on the forum spent more time helping each other rather than pissing and bitching, we might all get somewhere.

This was done in a matter of minutes. When I get more time I will alter the image to fit the size of the others.

I never ask for anything in return.

 

[tonyfloyd]
