TO EARLY TO ADVERTISE
For those of you who think advertising is what Mike should do... don't/
Having my own internet business I think it is too early to advertise. You want to have something that is polished and can stand on its own. Bringing in banner advertisement now when there is a general feeling of discontent with the game and when hits are low could in fact turn advertisers off the site, and when and if the site booms they could remember and keep away.
Internet advertising dollars are drying up fast, with most advertisers returning to the more stable and understood advertising venues of television, radio and print. With the crash of many internet stocks and many internet bankruptcies, many are shy about advertising on the net. I think more focus should be placed on the game and fixing things around here. There are still broken links and inactive links littering the site.
Believe me, it isn't easy to attract dollars to ANY internet venture right now...
