Especially in terms of SEO and its effect on rankings.

I built a football betting algorithm and constantly play with that to improve the accuracy..

Generates a very healthy income!

I tend to use a lot of direct with brand affiliate programs.

A good one you could consider is SkimLinks?

2 to 4 times the profit is a fairly large bracket though?

Lets say my site generates around £90k profit a year. But that is growing year on your, do you not need to take into account future growth?

Not a problem.

I will drop you an email today with some thoughts.

Just been looking at your TimeBlock site.

You have a few UX issues and lots of conversion blockers on there....

If you want a hand optimising the site let me know, (for free!). Might help to double your revenue pretty quickly for this project

There is an app in the Android story that generates leads that I then upsell the site to on a drip email campaign.

Get about 10% of traffic from Organic searches and the majority is direct from email.

I am trying to work out how to get more referral traffic and backlinks.

That is an interesting concept I have not considered!

Bit like a training course..

Might investigate this a bit further and see how this might work! Thanks for the heads up on this one!

How often should you add new content?

What is a good level of content to add?

I am currently trying to add around 1-2 pages a day.. Is that going to take me ages to get traffic from?

Hi.

Advertising and affiliate revenue is done direct through a range of bookmakers..

I have not implemented any display networks or advertising networks into the site yet. I may decide to do this in the future but find that the returns are not that great...

Looking to build my own ad platform to manage ad space in the coming months as well.... Have this all designed and wireframed, just need to build it

Awesome thank you.... So need to build a content plan and keep adding content to the site over time..

But surely just adding content is not going to get you to 25k+ visits a month?

There needs to be more than that right?

I am currently looking into how I can generate more buzz/PR for this site....

If anyone has any tips I am all ears... I like to work on small budgets, as I don't believe you need to spend a lot of money to gain traction online.. I have only spent around £1,000 to get to where I am now...

Share any ideas you have.

Cool. I will look info the possibility of running sister sites. Might help to reduce the risk of harming this site as well.

I am still trying to work it out.

One option could be to have a section of the site that contains the highest accuracy of predictions that can only be accessed by premium members..

Or I could maybe gate some of the more details analysis to only premium members..

I am not sure how scalable these options are or what I could charge as a fee for this.

I am open to suggests if anyone knows a good way I could introduce a premium model?

Do you mean by embedding it in the same site?

That is something that I have considered but am not sure how easy it is to scale and diversify the content at the same time... Needs some planning but dont think it is impossible..

Have it noted in my product roadmap.

I am interested to see some of the suggestions here.. I currently just leave things rattling around in my head...

I always tell myself I should document them on a Trello board then I can add notes to each idea when I think of things.

Link to my site: http://betalyst.com - It if a football (soccer) betting tips/advice/stats website.

Yeah, I follow the system... It makes it easier for me to build on and improve the algorithms if I am using the service myself..

I am looking to add an extension to the site so it places bets automatically through the Betfair API then I can track the growth of the better balance that way.

I am planning to turn all the learnings from this into a free betting guide/ebook as well in the coming months to educate people on how to pick better bets and manage their bankroll.

The site gets around 25k visitors a month, and has a very good pages per visit rate and visitor duration. - The bulk of the engagement comes from the Android app which has around 75k users.. I am hoping to actually release the new improved version in the coming months and then launch on iOS as well. - There is also an email database with just over 20k subscribers, which gets a 30% open-rate and 5-6% click-rate on average per email.

Is all pretty fun... Currently spending more time on the site as I neglected it a bit when focusing on the app and the algorithm. Working hard on SEO to get the traffic levels up. Want to have 100k monthly visits to the site by the end of the year.

Offer the whole service for free. Revenue generated through advertising/sponsorship.

Looking to move into a premium model over the coming months to gain some MRR to allow me to develop it furthur..

Currently earns over £75,000 per year in advertising/sponsorship/affiliate revenue.

Work on it for about 2-3 hours a week.

Is this format of competition where users share for extra entries the most viral way to run a competition or are there more effective types of competition/software that can generate more leads?

I tend to work in two bursts during the day when working from my home office.

I work 10 - 1 have an hour break and then do 2 - 4.

I find I can get most work done using that framework whilst still allowing me time to get other stuff done in the morning/late afternoon that might otherwise be a distraction!

Let me know your thoughts on it!

Any help much appreciated!

I will investigate.

Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the great examples.

I am going to make this a key part of my strategy!

If you want to join, use code hackernews for a 50% discount!

Ah cool.

Thanks will give that a go.. Currently sourcing the best places to interact with people!

Nice idea... This is something that I might try...

Is there an online version of this sort of thing? Like a service that lets you offer free access codes to people who refer 2+ other people?

Thanks. I have always enjoyed writing and feel like this could be a good avenue.

Would you recommend that I write as a guest on larger sites, or run my own blog?
