If we can't generate traffic to our advertisers... It would be senseless to hear "that due to the lack of traffic generated by our banners there on Predator Masters... We may consider other alternatives." While we have been somewhat lucky in this perspective, so far. But still, there is no need to ever hear it. At least not with as many hits as we receive.
No, We are not running so low on funds that we will have to stop operating!!! But, could we be in danger of losing advertisers because of the lack of traffic generated from advertising here? I hope not...
Getting advertisers to purchase space is a hard, long and drawn out process. One reason for this is because we try to stay within at least the outdoors sports to gain advertisers. Not to mention that money is hard to come by, and even harder to spend.
Please don't take this in the wrong way... I am not drumming up donations from you folks. All I'm asking is that you please consider clicking on our advertisers banners when you are contemplating a purchase. I know for some of the companies that advertise with us, that just typing in the name is as easy as clicking on a banner.
I'm sure nearly every person here has remembered www.allpredatorcalls.com or www.gamecalls.net for their calling needs. But what about www.dogbegone.com for a cool P-dog redmist variety video tape?? Or www.inheatscents.net for some smell good purdy coyote pee???
Would you think about coming here and checking out our advertising links to see if there is someone that has what your looking for? It's real easy, probably easier than using a search engine... It is the very first post when you open the bulletin boards, titled "Quick links to Predator Masters advertisers..." Every advertiser that spends their money on Predator Masters is listed in that post.
One of our selling points to advertisers is the number of hits Predator Masters receives... In recent months we have seen record numbers on the amount of traffic we receive. 10 MILLION hits!!!! That's a LOT of traffic!! There is no need for us to lose advertisers for lack of traffic they receive from here... Out of 10 million hits, they should get something, you'd think...
We are a free membership board, and will probably remain free. But the costs for running the site have increased every year with the increase of traffic we get. And with those costs come the need for income. We have been getting this income from advertisers for the most part, up until recently when we decided to accept donations...
And I want to give a very special thanks to those of you who care enough about Predator Masters to have donated. It is YOUR board, and all we do is keep it running like a fine oiled machine... We may have our up's and down's, but for the most part I think it is the best site on the net... I may be a bit biased, but I do feel this way!! And it's because of the members, moderators and staff that keep it this way.
So, please do us all a favor and click an advertisers banner, or at the very least, let them know you heard about them from Predator Masters. You might be surprised how much something so small can help us... And yes, we do need the help!!!
Advertisers base their renewals on traffic tracing status reports that show where their traffic is coming from and who is buying what when they get to their place of business... These are the tools that potential and present advertisers use to understand where their customers are coming from.
These companies believe in us enough to spend their money here and help us stay on the net. It seems small that we can return that investment by just clicking on their banner or telling them you heard about them from us or saw them mentioned here... It's really not that hard to keep advertisers if we all do our small part...
So please, drop a word, click a banner or something so they know their money isn't being wasted on Predator Masters....
OK, I'm finished rambling and ranting... So as Gunny Sgt. Ermey would say... Carry on!! Ooh-rah!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
