SatelliteGuys keeps growing and growing and this growth has been due to your comments and suggestions on how to make SatelliteGuys better for all. This post is to let you know of some ideas we have and some things we are working on. We haven’t asked you how we are doing or what you would like to see improved in awhile so here we are. We want your feedback, suggestions and ideas of how to make SatelliteGuys a better place for all.
We are proud of our members here at SatelliteGuys, and we really have some outstanding members who go out of their web not only to help SatelliteGuys but other members who need help. We are planning on recognizing these members with our new MVP program, which we are announcing today for the first time! The SatelliteGuys MVP program will be a way for us to say thank you for the time, dedication and support that they give to us and our members and our site. While we are still finishing the details the plan is to have the SatelliteGuys staff nominate members to be MVP’s, when the nominations are available, members will be able to vote for who they think should be a MVP. We plan to do this each month as we feel it will be fun for the users and will be a great way to help say thanks to everyone for helping us be America’s Most Popular Satellite Information Forum. People who are selected as MVP’s will receive a special designation by their name marking them as a MVP and the year they were selected. MVP’s will be eligible to win once a year. The MVP program will be open to all members, meaning you do not need to be a pub member to be eligible to win.
A note about the ads that non-pub members see...
I have to be honest, I don’t like ads myself and if I had my way we would not have any syndicated advertising. However in order to keep the site running they are a necessary evil. The news keeps saying that the economy is improving but I am not seeing that in the internet advertising world, in fact I see the ad revenue decreasing as the economy supposedly gets better. Places where we were making $30 in ads we are now getting only $3. Because of this I have been experimenting with the ads trying to see if I can find a magic spot, which might earn us more. As you might know November and February is when most of our major bills for running this site are due, so I am really trying to get earnings up without adding more ads. I thank you for your understanding on this matter.
I would also like to thank our supporting Pub Members for their support, even in these hard times our pub members have been stepping up to the plate and supporting us. Their $20 a year donation helps us keep the lights on and in these hard times they have been there for us, so to them I say thank you!
Also, I want to thank our Gold Sponsors for their support. We get requests from companies every day looking to advertise here. If it was about the money I would sign them up, but it's not. The Gold Sponsors we have here are some of the best at what they do. I am not just proud to have them as sponsors but I am proud that I can recommend these companies as being great companies to do business with.
We are now getting ready for our 5th year of covering the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. This is always a major undertaking for us and we are looking at bringing you all the news from the show floor as it happens.
One other thing I would like to talk about and that is I am currently working on the next generation of SatelliteGuys. Yesterday I pre-ordered some new software which will take us to the next generation of SatelliteGuys, in addition I have started work on a total new look for SatelliteGuys, one that will be easier on the eyes and will allow you to customize the look to your likings. I am working with a designer on this new look and will give you a look at it when we are a little further along.
I now turn this thread over to you and ask for your comments and suggestions on we can make SatelliteGuys even better. Thank you again for your support!
