I like the AVS idea. I guess I could make a premium avs (updated weekly) and feed it with galleries, free sites, small avs sites. Sound like a plan? I could fill the premium avs with a few 1000 puchased pics and movies, complement it with my own shoots, then set up the usual assortment of features, including a forum. I could then feed it with a combination of targetted high-traffic sources, general sources, se rankings, and exchanges.
If you like the blue-print, maybe you'd like me to chart it's progress here on the board, detailing each phase and including stats (traffic, signups, members, retention levels, etc). It might be useful to newbies and I'd be happy for anyone to use the links as templates (I'll leave out the copyright on everything but the premium site).
So, if in your opinions it sounds financially sound, I'll get started ASAP. Will have to juggle my current work-load, but I can see the premium avs being finished within a week...maybe.
Let me know your thoughts - and any adjustments to the idea.
Thanks!
