First, if anyone of you can get "NET" journal from June/96, there is a big
story about people making money on the Internet... Just FYI
Second, Let's think how we can make people visit hour site and more important
come back lately. There are a lot of Linux "consumers" in Israel. We
should make them know about the existence of linux.org.il .
As I said people MUST come back and use it all the time, they/we need new
info almost every day, so it should be more attractive , with more links
to prevent people going outside of the Israel for some "Alien" countries...
This is all right without any money concern,
About making money from advertisment, may be we need to expand the site
to help people with their first steps in computing/net surfing...
All of you know that Israel goes thru Internet "explosion". Each sitizen
Buy it's computer with Multimedia BuiltIn. ( Sometime they even don't
know they have modem inside -- my own experience with newbies)
Ok, I'll stop spoiling words...
Think about other ways to attract people...
What do you think!
