Andrew – SEO stuff is interesting. I looked into it a while back, but I haven’t really read up much on it.

Susan – Sure sure.

I don’t use any type of advertisements on my own site, or anything I could profit off of such as Google AdSense, but in the next revision of my website’s layout I’m going to try and focus on Search Engine Optimization. At one point my domain was getting gigabytes of traffic each day, and thousands of unique visitors, but I intentionally began trying to filter out certain traffic in order to provide more relevant content that suited my own beliefs as to what the site should contain. It’s leveled-off quite a bit now, and so I’m ready to begin “driving” new traffic and visitors to the site.
I really don’t do any advertising either as most of the visitors come either from “word of mouth” via messageboards (although a few times I’ve had people tell me they’ve told their friends about it), or through posts I may have created on other websites. A majority of it is from search engine results however.

I need to do some kind of advertising/promotion of some kind, I’m just kind of clueless as to how to do it at the moment. I used to be more active on other message boards, but as of recently I’ve just been lurking around certain places and I wouldn’t want to come off as trying to spam any particular board, so I’d have to be careful in how I did any kind of promotion.

I should do something though. Just posting stuff up here and hoping that people find it really isn’t the best idea.

I’m positive the number of people who would find the interface to be intuitive would greatly outweigh the number of those who are confused by the application once it begins to get more traffic. It’s time to invest some effort in a minimalistic advertising approach such as using the fader on other forums and things, and dropping a subtle link.

Two votes now. Now it’s neck and neck with the people who were confused. Thanks for the feed back.

I like the slider as well. It’s an interesting layout for the application.

Cool beans. And good to know someone else likes the slider bar. I had started to wonder if I had gone in the correct direction with that design decision.
