Lack of visitors and participation at the site.

I remember a few months ago, we had several entrys for king of the lane, and the same with "ask the pro's." Now it seems as if it is the forgottn bowling website. Although it's probably my fault.

There are tons of nice sites out there... but the real question is, what makes yours different?  I wish bowlingballexchange the best of luck, I've even added a link to them on my site, but in my humble opinion I don't see a future for it.  At least not the way it stands now.. it is almost identical to ballreviews, bowlingballreviews, and bowlingindex.  

Gotbowling, I'm assuming, is the highly anticipated video hosting website.  That is unique and has merit, although the cost of bandwidth is NOT cheap and there are plenty of places to host videos (i.e. we-todd-did-racing or  mustangmods.com) for free.  But if there are enough bowling videos, it could weather the storm.

Websites cost money to grow.  I've already spent nearly $3K of my own money this year on my site and am about to drop another grand on some more software development.  And remember kids, my site doesn't earn me a nickel.  And let's not even begin to discuss the TIME it needs.

But here is my advice... spend the time/money to get it going or shut it down.  When I visit a site and see that there is no traffic or very old content... I never return.

bamaster -

The bandwidth is no big deal, I have 100 gig bandwidth at my disposal.
so gotbowling should be ok. I own the small webhosting company that feeds it.

as for bowlingballexchange.com It was never derived to pull everyone away to one site, I simply made it cause people were complaining about certain sites
and that is a place where there is moderators and people can basically say what they want.

The moderators get rid of the crap bashing posts, They try and keep the topics to the topics so when you go into each room you get info you are looking for.

It is close to ball reviews cause we wanted to make it as familier as possible for users if they chose to go there. Many people have requested forums to be made and they are getting alot of use. I also added a auction style place where
people can sell their old equipment or they could also do it in the forsale/trades section.. I also added chat and there is going tobe some more really cool additions in the near future that I am working on..

Now having said that, I am not asking people to switch from coke to pepsi but
simply check it out and if they want post in both places..

100 GB he has + my 30-50. This will be a great thing for bowlers. Along with Master of the Lanes which is proudly starting in September. We have the BW to use, now we just gotta get the site working!
