Not yet ready for advertising!

So guys I have decided to stop using yahoo as an advertiser. I want to try and achieve traffic without any help from advertising and things like that. I think that it will give me more incentive to add more content that will bring people to my site. I will hopefully add about 5-10 reviews/previews today as well as some new trailers and more for my tech shop. It will be hard but worth it when I start getting visitors.

yesterday's earnings were : $0.01
Overall earnings : $0.31

The reason I stopped the advertising was because I felt that if I was spending a dollar a day and not seeing the traffic I was expecting then I should stop until I have content good enough to keep more and more of these people. Using the advertising I was receiving about 20-35 visits a day which is about 15-20 uniques. For such a low conversion rate for visitors into forum members I just don't think it was worth it.

One of my initial ideas on building a successful website was to put a forum on it and hope people would sign up and start chatting. Although this naive idea could work, I had yet to realize that I need something interesting on my site for people to sign up.

So right now I am just adding more content. Content is king after all!
