Kiveve is a traffic exchange network created to help quality content bloggers and webmasters increase their traffic and therefore their revenue.
We are at our very early stages and we are now open for website application to join our network
I'd love to know what you think about it!
"If you are like Sweeet... Tell me more! Click Here" "Fancy Pants Algorithm" "Ninja Time Analytics"
I suppose there's a demographic that responds positively to that type of diction. If that's the case, you've done a good job of narrowing your target market.
Also, use more text and less text-images!
That line is misleading, agreed.
It's not a bad system, and of course will depend on network effects so the more sites that join the network the better. But resolving the chicken and egg issue at the beginning is always the big problem.
Even if there are sites that have lots of traffic from google or facebook or twitter the number of users on the internet are NOT infinite.
From what I'm understanding, which the site doesn't do a very good job of explaining, is that participating users put a widget on their site that displays thumbnails and links to other similar sites. Almost like a... "Visit / Discover sites similar to this one" which has links that send my visitors to other websites that have the same "topic" as mine. Other participating sites similar to mine have the widget as well and visitors from there can discover my site.
How is it possible, without being a ponzi/pyramid scheme, that every time a user clicks on one of the links on the widget on my site, you're going to send 2 visitors back to mine? That would mean on the other sites' widgets you'd have to display a link to my site until 2 visitors click through to it so I can get my 2 visitors. That means the links on the widgets will need to change so that those 2 sites get 4 visitors sent back to them, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.... What if I send through 15 visitors, how on earth am I going to get 30 visitors back then the sites that sent me those 30 visitors get 60 visitors back then the sites that sent those 60 visitors get 120 visitors back, then 240, then 480, 960, 1,920, 3,840. And all of this is just from the domino effect of My ->1<- website. Imagine 700 or so participating sites.
Eventually you'll start getting into the billions and trillions of visitors needed to pay back all the sites for the traffic they sent in.
Even if you send back 10 visitors for every 9 sent, that's not sustainable. Even if some of those visitors count towards multiple sites.
I don't mean to call you out as a ponzi scheme but I just don't see how this is sustainable. Maybe I'm wrong, I'm usually bad at math.
- Typos: "Kiveve is a traffice exchange platform. Basically, a way for you to multiply your sites visitors. That means, everytime you send us a visitor, we'll send you around twice as many back. We multiply your traffic. Free." - 'traffice' -> 'traffic' and 'sites' -> 'site's'. Remove the comma after 'that means'. 'around' -> 'about'
- After the "We multiply your traffic. Free" bit, it would be helpful to know how. Right now, my response isn't, "wow, tell me more!" but instead, "Free? Bullshit."
- text encoding issue in the next paragraph: I'm seeing "Kiveve�s" on OS X 10.7 w/ Safari.
- "Ninja Time Analytics" raises my hackles for the same reason that descriptions of developers as 'ninjas' or 'rockstars' does.
- "from the day 1 you put our widget in your site." -> "from the day you add our widget to your site." Also, make "add our widget" a link to your signup page.
- "Stay tunned to future upcoming features" -> "Stay tuned for updates."
Net net: I am skeptical but intrigued.
But if you're saying I can get some more beta testers who won't trash my site, I'm interested. Can you explain how exactly that works in as plain English as possible?
Also, bad math. 28638 received over 23634 sent is a 200.03% return rate? No. "Sent" and "received" are already very ambiguous - is "sent" what I sent you or what you sent me? But either way, it doesn't work out to a two-fold return.
