As the readers here know, I was planning on having a contest on ThePartyLive, however that has changed, I have more work to do before I do that.
When I was sitting around with a few friends on Thursday I asked them about my site and why they don’t post. I told them that there were lots of topics and I am sure that they would enjoy at least one. Well it turns out that the reason they didn’t click the link in my sig or MSN was because they couldn’t get a feel about what the site was about from the URL. www.thepartylive.com doesn’t really describe Canadian discussion.
So following that I feel that the reason I can’t get refferals into members may be that they either don’t know what the site is, or get a different impression from the link, and then when they find the site they decide to turn away. That is why I am going to get a new URL (done) and start a change over. I am going to do it slowly, over a couple of months and 301 everything from thepartylive.com to the new site.
When the new site is running and everything is active again I will start the contest, maybe get it rolling in August and then have the draw end of Sept. By then I hope to have 6 VERY active members and some more people using TPLNews
I will annouce the new Name when I have the domain parked and new logo up.
