Turning a small niche community into a business that has benefit from all stakeholders takes creative thinking. In this post I’m going to review BackofTheNet.info and come up with some ideas that could help move the site forward. I’d also like to open the comments up for further montisation ideas, so please post your ideas in the comments!
Site: BackofTheNet.info
Communtiy: PES and FIFA (football games) on the Xbox & PS3 (players community)
Current montisation channel: Adsense
Size of community: >10k
Strengths: Active community; Links from xbox.com
Owners comment: “We get [>5k] unique visitors a day, most of them come for FIFA information, and the others are returning members. We have a custom built shoutbox (ajax + php) which gets most of our page hits as it’s where members go to chill out, chat, and arrange games & stuff.”
