Discussion > wouldn't it be crazy if.....

Im gathering information. The more of you that give me some insight the more I might be able to offer. A friend of mine who is pretty web savy (but not a model builder) mentioned that he was impressed by how much web traffic we get. It got me to thinking just how often do you visit?
How many visits a month, week, day?
If I knew this information there might be a way to monetize it. Im just blue skying here. this not something im planning on doing BUT what if there was a way to generate a dollar or even $.50 cents for a visit? Essentially we could make everything available for free.
So Im just playing with numbers here. The more data i get the better.
We have thousands of visitors a month but how many are repeats? Id like to know. we get a lot of information from our tracking software but I need some details. How often do you visit?

If in the office, a few times a day. Probably average three times a week over the course of a year.

Once a day.

We average over 500 visitors a day. Im wondering what percentage of those people are new and how many are long time customers and friends.

1 or 2 times a day. I would not do that if I had to pay each time I visited.

I check twice a day - looking for the hotels to become available! :-) I have add blocking software on my Mac, so I don't know if that would still give you credit for add-views or not (Probably not since they don't actually load).

I visit at least once every day. However, I would never visit if I had to pay anything. I really like this site and have purchased several DVDs and individual models. One reason I return is because Thom and Dave really do everything to make sure their costumers are satisfied. Thanks guys and keep browsing free.

Thom is not saying that you would have to pay 50c to visit the site, he is saying that they could possibly make 50c for each time someone visited the site if they would post advertising. (correct me if I'm wrong) My visits change depending on what i have posted or what i am following, but at least 1-2 times a day

I'm on the site 2 to 3 times a day, sometimes more pending the action on the blog. I have made purchases, have to admit my building time is slow, however, I like the site, like the models but would be reluctant to go on if I had to pay. I would rather pay a small membership price in either a membership fee or merchandise purchase. maybe that would help get a web person and hotels :-)

Please don't misunderstand. We have no plans to charge for the site. Not going to happen.
Just playing with numbers.

I check in on the site several times a week. I have yet to actually build a Clever Models kit although I now have multiple discs. I do use the textures a lot. I like checking in on the blog to see what's been posted new, also the discussion. Visits would probably be approaching daily.

I average 1+ visit a day. Have purchased all your HO DVD's and all models not on DVD's

Well I certainly learned that I need to keep the content fresh.
October 2, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterThom
I visit the site 2 or 3 times a week and more often if I'm working on a kit and need to check a construction detail on one of the structure pictures (such as trying to figure out how the plow goes together on the Monson Plow kit).

I visit site about 5 times week on average, mainly looking to see what's new and buy three or four kits a year.
As I live in UK only buy downloads.

this is all really valuable information. Keep it coming. thanks

I realize this is a late(ish) response, but that probably gives you an idea of my answer. In the winter, I visit maybe 3-4 times per week. I build the same number of projects per winter, about 1/2 freebies and 1/2 purchased buildings. In the summer, phew, maybe once a month?
