You guys run a great site at shanghaiexpat.com. How's the advertising going? Don't you think you should start a newsletter email broadcast so that you can find out who amongst your members is still active, and gauge what they're interested in?

best,

busyexpat aka greenmonkey

It sounds like you need a real leg-up with investment cash.

Are you guys spending money on advertising? i have a feeling that you really aren't. Smartshanghai.com spent money setting up an information stall at one of last year's major private parties. A lot of people don't know about shanghaiexpat yet. It would be ideal to do a major collation project of all quality posts on this forum and then create a new website or even a book which contains this valuable information. And somehow make the new project attractive to advertisers so you can collect investment cash to do the project in the first place.

Do you know how much asiaxpat.com charges advertisers for a one-off email broadcast? It is substantial...see their website.

With your user-base you could also spin-off a number of other specific subject websites that you control.

Funny considering Greenmonkey is the same website who tried to pull posters from here by slagging off shanghaiexpat on their own site forums with posts like "what kinds of losers hang out on shanghaiexpat" and "we're gonna show shanghaiexpat who's in charge now" and whatever else.

Then you had the balls to come here and slag people off telling everyone to go hangout at your site instead.

That is until you **** up your own forums within a month. real smart!

now you come here posting this trash?

love your links section. how much are the viagra people paying you to link to them?

and your however many user names you have on your site? come on, do you really think you're fooling people?
