If the intention was to drive up traffic here, I don't see why we couldn't link in some way.

The intention wasn't to drive traffic here, although that could be a byproduct. The intention was to provide a more focused website that can be more easily monetized and help me to keep this site in the black.

If that's the case, then I understand. We could possibly do more harm than good to a "legit" website.

I do have a question for you all.

I need a "Pet Related Slogan" for the new header. It should be fairly short.

"My Dog Dallas: Tales about Tails"

"My Dog Dallas: Where your pets take center stage."

"My Dog Dallas: Better Nate than Lever."

Okay, that last one is a joke. But you get the idea.
 
I'd do a weekly rotation of the slogan...

"A puppy brag-book."

"A place to let your Hare down."

"It's the cats meow!"

"It is better than Cats!"

Only 10 members so far, but I've only just today started really getting into marketing it. I've been a bit preoccupied since Wednesday.
 
Alright no pressure or anything, I just wouldn't be surprised if 50 grandmothers joined up tomorrow, y'know?

They have to see it first. I'm going to be changing the meta tags and SEO tags to get it on Google.

Just to give you an idea, I started it Tuesday and got 9 Unique visitors.

Wednesday:40
Thursday: 36

Pageviews:

Tuesday:157
Wednesday: 430
Thursday: 367

Tuesday night and Wednesday morning I added content. Hardly any Wednesday afternoon through Thursday. I'm doing more with it now that I have the new banner & stuff.

Basically until I get topics & stuff, Google won't pick it up and drive traffic. It's kind of a chicken & egg thing. Until I get traffic I don't get seen. Until I get seen I don't get traffic.

I was spoiled with HF because the traffic/users were built in to the site before I even started it. This building from scratch is very new to me and a real learning process.
 
I'll hop in there when in get a chance, looks like a cool idea. I hardly have time for this place right now though.

I hear ya! I've been promoting and figuring out what to do pretty much all day. And since I don't want to short-change HERE, I haven't played Minecraft or WoW in days and days.

If I don't keep busy I do burn out. It's why I tinker so much. I don't burn out, I get bored.
