Re: [hiphop-ads] How to Beat NahRight.com

Hashim,

Stop trying to take credit for putting on eskay or something. He who can't do, talks smack?

eskay figured out a winning formula for his site. If you want to reduce it to posting frequency you'll have to explain why all the other sites that post as often or more often, haven't worked. I have my own theories on what makes a hip-hop news site successful but I'm not gonna pile on in a thread with this shameful a title / approach.

You realize you both sound like bitches right?

Mike, are you kidding me with this talk? You want to claim some self-righteousness here? Your site is covered in google ads and no one gives a shit what you post about. You giving eskay advice about how to get a community more active?

Meanwhile, this is what I see on your homepage:

What kind of rep have you picked up for your honest voice Greasy? Here's the last time I remember bringing up your site:

As only having visited your site 3 times i don't get a since of who
you are or what the editorial voice is about. I see album cover link,
album cover link, album cover and a few lines. I don't really get a
since of the voice of the site, who the writer of the site is and what
they have to say about the world. To me social media is a personal
experience and I read and follow peoples sites cause I find a personal
connection to the content and want to see what that person is up to or
has to say. Like when I read Perez I get his wit and humor. Or when I
read Michael Arrington I know he's outspoken and will say whatever
even when I don't agree. Or when I read Engadget I know I'm getting
the inside scoop on the latest gadgets mixed with a bit of
30-something commentary. So when readign your site I'm not 100% sure
what I'm suppose to walk away with.

You have a descent amount of comments...it might be helpful to
activate the comments widget and give your sites community some shine
so other people can see and participate in the discussions.
