Intermediary transaction SEO diagnosis Taobao guest Cloud host technology Hall

I do is a county district station: Love Ganyu. Current IP 4000+, PV 58,000. No profit, also pay the space fee every year. I sent an article in A5 in 2009, "I built some experience of county-level local website," At that time just to how to promote the local forum, how to manage the local forum said some of my own experience. Now looking back, the biggest challenge I have is: how to make a profit to ensure that my forum can continue to go on? The annual space costs and my own time costs are there, if unable to feed themselves to achieve profitability, the last can only close the site. This is a very real problem. One has been a non-commercial personal web site, suddenly to the commercialization of the conversion, how to avoid criticism, controversy? Once in A5 read an article, the article has such a passage to my impression is very profound, but also I do not do a commercial transformation of a heart disease:

The following are the referenced contents:

The commercialization of the community is a revolution! is a truly bloody revolution in the realm of consciousness!

1. Commercialization transformation means rebuilding positioning. The pure Consciousness community, the guest group exists because of the consciousness. The commercial community, the guest group exists because of the benefit. The first is the platform based on the profit model, decided to locate, select the Guest group, then the seller and the buyer to choose each other. The chosen are born, not the chosen die. Life and death depend on benefits, depending on the value of the individual for the new ecosystem.

2, commercialization transformation means the redistribution of interests and power. From pure interest to commercialization, this step will directly shake the original rights system, reflected in the BBS as a moderator system, will gradually affect the original based on opinion leaders of the value system. Moderator rights system and platform of the interests of the people born, contradictory to death. This step is bloody and has to go through. Specific cases can participate in Hefei Forum Home Industry Forum transformation.

3, the transformation of commercialization is the only way to the community, experienced this seemingly brutal process, the community does not necessarily die, but more stable and prosperous. But after this revolution, people who had been immersed in a non-commercial community might miss that atmosphere.

Recently, my forum has a netizen post asked: "Love Ganyu forum operation so well, behind the scenes who are operating?" "Love Ganyu forum depends on what profit, the annual profit how much?" I had no words to swallow. Some shame. The following is my team and profitability of the situation, but also I gave me the answer to the member.

About love Ganyu forum behind the team: 0 people. Love Ganyu No one behind the scenes, from the first day of the creation of the forum, I was at the front desk, our moderator at the front desk. At present love Ganyu Nature belongs to personal website. Non-corporate, non-corporate, non-governmental organizations.

About Love Ganyu income:

July 6, 2007 ~2008 December 11. The cost of living on campus. Bought a space. Forgot how much money. It should be 260 yuan. 150M space. Erected. Later, because of graduation to find work and other reasons, has been abandoned.

December 12, 2008 ~2009 December 31. The work has stabilized a little, and spent 800 dollars to buy a space in Shanghai. Because the quality of space is too poor, had to change space, got the early several moderators (Xu, not ah Fei, Zoshi sheep, drunk listening to the Pines, Dong Wu Hermit, Big Road broad) sponsorship, raised a sum of 1800 yuan. Change to a space trader in Beijing. After the love Ganyu development quickly, the visit quantity increases day by day, this Beijing space also restricts the flow, had to change the place. June 8, 2009, replacement to Shanghai computer Room (A5). With the development and growth of the site, love Ganyu to the demand for space more and more harsh, I had to spend 850 yuan in September 2009 to buy an attachment space, 6G, dedicated to the picture. The forum from then on, pictures and programs separated. But because the space of the picture is rather rotten, usually often down machine also forget. More importantly, CRC users (now mobile) cannot access. At that time feel particularly to faint small fox and so use CRC broadband users. 2009 coincides with the mother of many birthday, starting from the second half of the domestic Internet massacre, the forum must do BBS special impossible to record, or close. Reluctantly, November 2009, Love Ganyu Forum moved to the United States room. Toss this several times, this year invested almost 3000 yuan. Among them, took over a Maotai (Ganyu shop) 3 months of advertising. Get RMB 400. Thank you very much netizens "rural people" and his friend that sell Maotai.

January 1, 2010 ~2010 December 31. Because the server in the United States, domestic users visit very card, I am very anxious, these months very difficult. Just as I heavy, July 9, 2010 under the State Council to cancel the BBS special record. The news is very exciting, love Ganyu finally can return home. I immediately contacted a domestic space business, all smooth. In mid-July 2010, Love Ganyu moved back to the Shanghai room. In addition, the 09 purchase of annex space is not enough. I have to the original 850 yuan/year 6G picture space to upgrade to 1200 yuan/year 10G space.

January 1, 2011 ~2011 June 3. Before, a long time of Google Ad league, advertising costs 180 of dollars. Just bought another directadmin authorization. 299 dollars. There was also a disguised sponsorship of a friend: I made a few simple websites for him, and he sponsored me a few thousand dollars. June 8 Web Space expires, I still do the budget today. This year's, next year's. The same.

All of the above inputs and expenditures do not include: input time: At least 4 hours a day of input: 6:30 A.M.-8 points (audit posts). Half an hour at noon (casual look). Evening 2 hours (integrated). Total 4 hours. The actual situation is that the evening generally consumes more than 4 hours. Encounter the site failure, data backup, upgrade and so on, the night basically need overnight; The time of the movement is compressed to almost 0; Emotional: Before there is no time to find a daughter-in-law, now is no time to accompany the daughter-in-law. Not easy to find a daughter-in-law or the new year to go home without conditions to find the Internet. Thanks for the time when there was no internet.

This makes me very distressed. Including the opening of the "Ganyu Online Police Room" section, short-lived, less than 2 weeks to announce the closure.
