PSDFan Extra

PSDFAN keeps getting bigger

I don’t want to make a habit of these kinds of posts, but I figured that it had been a while since I’d updated you all with PSDFAN’s growth. I’m only really doing so today because a couple of milestones have been broken for the website.

First of all, BuySellAds (the ad system used for PSDFAN) is telling me that my top ad is drawing over 400,000 monthly impressions! This is quite an achievement, as I remember selling my first ad here when the site was bringing it about 10% of that traffic. This is great news for potential advertisers, as my ads are now offering their best value for money since launch. I would also like to point out that I’ve researched competing sites, and PSDFAN is one of the absolute best deals on the BuySellAds network.

Secondly, Alexa shows that yesterday I broke into the top 30,000 websites in the world! Again, this is a personal record for me, and also a sign of how much the site has grown. My aim is to get my actual traffic rank into the top 50,000 websites in the next couple of months, which given my consistent ranking in the 40-50ks lately shouldn’t be too impossible.

I’ve also broken 1200 RSS Subscribers, and this number is climbing fast.

It’s really all a result of putting my all back into the site again. After the illness, work stresses and various other problems of early October, it’s great to be back on track with PSDFAN again. Everyone can look forward to more changes in the coming weeks:

I’ve begun work on a membership system that will provide .psd files for ALL tutorials.

I’m currently compiling prizes for my first competition.

I have some more great interviews lined up (one with a particularly famous designer).

I’m going to keep posting at least once every day from now on, and providing the best content that I possibly can.

You can see screenshots of all this progress below:

Help Appreciated

Whilst I can run PSDFAN alone, help is always appreciated. If you have a freebie (texture, brush set, whatever…), a cool story, article or tutorial to share, or a roundup of great posts then I would love to post it. Of course you’ll receive full credit and get to expose your work to my 5000+ daily visitors.

Finally I just want to say thanks to every member of the community here. You guys keep this place going and I really enjoy sharing my stuff with you.
