Flying People

Well, it’s the right time to summarize. Soon it will be a year since Flying People started, and we will have achieved much by that time.
During the last month around 13000 people from:

United States of America 53.99 %
United Kingdom 7.56 %
Canada 7.41 %
Lithuania 3.16 %
Germany 2.64 %
Other 25.25 %

visited our site.
Mainly, traffic comes from Google, social bookmark services (like Technorati, StumbleUpon and del.icio.us), online communities and other sites.
Some stats:

Technorati Rank: 82,055 (126 links from 54 blogs).
StumbleUpon: (favorited by 50 members, 20 reviews + ~ 20 inside pages favorited many times - i get ~ 120 unics/day from StumbleUpon)
MyBlogLog: Flying People community - 143 members.
del.icio.us: main page favorited by 16 members (+many inside pages added)

Not bad in my view, especially taking into account that I have not spent a single cent on its promotion. However, I am planning to invest a fair amount into the project in the nearest future, and some considerable changes are to
come.
For instance, a full-fledged music section will appear, where new mixes and podcasts from a variety of famous musicians and dj’s playing in lounge, deep-house, lo-fi, easy listening style will be posted, as well as reviews on new releases of my beloved labels.

You know, enough to unveil secrets! Enough to say, that new design, logo and content are ready. Only a few more little things to be done…
Of course, there were many difficulties. For example, with hosting. Hosting company often lets down and and the site becomes unavailable. Soon I move FP to another hoster, known for its stability, and hope not to face similar problems anymore.

Second, there were some issues with programming. When I started with FP, I knew almost nothing about it, about CSS, PHP or WordPress. Today, of course, I know more of it, however new FP will be shaped up by a professional.

In general, there is a whole lot of ideas, and I am always ready to consider your suggestions. And I would be very grateful to everyone who likes FP and can donate something for its growth (renewing FP costs money, considerable amounts of money, damn it!); this can be done via PayPal.

For those who would like to put advertisementson FP (a link, banner or an advertising post), I list some of the rates:

Text link on my site - 15 $/month
Banner - 40 $/month
Sponsored post - 60 $/month

Huge discounts are possible, if I decide to buy something you advertise myself :)

Thats it! LOVE YOU ALL!
