So last thursday we received an email from CherryTap.com. They wanted to form a partnership with one of the resource sites that I run with a friend. This would have been great news if they were reaching out to us with an exclusive deal; however, I’m pretty sure they have approached other resource sites with the same offer. Ironically, we were in the process of launching a new resource site aimed at the CherryTap audience, but they decided that they rather tap the traffic of our somewhat established Myspace Resource site, instead of the new CherryTap graphics site. All in all, it is still great that they contacted us. Anyway, we agreed to a trial run this weekend so that they can gauge how much traffic our site can send them, and also to see whethere or not the traffic converts.
I’m not expecting good results on monday. We only get around XXX number of clicks on adsense and the rest of the ad clicks go to Valueclick Media and I don’t know if we can afford to send our traffic to CherryTap for nothing. Well, I’m not saying that I don’t want to send CherryTap traffic, it’s just that I know that we will not be able to send them enough traffic to become a featured link on their page. And without a prominent link spot, it is unlikely that we would get any traffic from them.
With that being said, if by some miracle we do end up sending them a load of traffic. I’d be a happy fish. I’ll be sure to post about what happens with the trial and all sometime next week.
Oh, and for those who don’t know what CherryTap.com is, well I can best describe it as the intoxicated version of Myspace with a lot of skin to boot.
