Just found a stat tool that comes with our website and for some unknown reason we get an average of 500 hits a day.
The most downloaded video is Rock And Roll which has been downloaded 676 times this year.
Is 500 hits a day worth investing in for somebody and how would I go about finding somebody?
 
I don't think adsense will generate much revenue here. You're much better off making a high quality studio DVD or CD of your music (rather than the crappy recordings you have now) and selling that either as a physical product or pay-download.
 
Adz is right.
The only way to make decent money out of your site (a site) is to produce something yourself & use the hits to generate sales.
Self wrote E books are a good spinner, cost nowt to produce & if good they sell well with No postage costs.

We have an average age of 48 so we can't be bothered.
Amazingly over 1000 people have bought that DVD and I offered everyone their money back before they bought it.
 
One of my sites gets over 10,000 hits per month and I make money from adsense. I'm not going to retire on the revenue but it makes enough to cover the hosting costs and more which is better than nothing. Revenue isn't the reason I do the site anyway.
 
Hi,

Hits can often be misleading. Is it hits or unique visitors?

Visitors is the figure you will want to look at. Hits includes every file that is loaded on a web page. So if you have a page with 40 images for example, if one person loads it once, that is 40 hits.

If you have 500 visitors a day, then you might be able to generate some income.
 
As sais above. You prbably won't make much at all from advertising.

Redesign the website as it looks like it was made in the 90's and doesn't look professional. Get a pay pal account, and a printer that prints on to cd's.
Then offer albums and digital downloads.

Got any budding photographers. which you could chuck some free drinks to and get to come along to the gigs to take decent photos?

4 - Can't be arsed

5 - Can't be arsed part 2 :)

Thanks for all your info.
I just thought with 500 hits a day (not bad for a 90's retro site with crap images/videos) that there was an easy way to make money.
Back in 1996 I ran the biggest MIDI backing track site on the internet and had over 2 million hits.
I could have earned a fortune if it wasn't for the fact it was illegal.
 
dmpoole, I'd be happy to invest my time and knowledge in building a better site for you. One that's modern, standards compliant, etc. If you're interested, let me know.

I understand that people say they like it, but they could like it a whole lot more. I'm confident enough to make all concerned say 'wow'. ;)

By the way, I'm not after money. A band website is something I'd like to do for other reasons.

Its up to you and I'd gladly look at anything you want to put forward.
Don't spend too much time in case I have to let you down :)
Its also got to be editable in Frontpage (yes, I know you've just vomited in your mouth).
Also be aware that typing disturbin the peace in Google gets the top 4 hits.
