Advice for new tracker?

I could write an essay on this but will just make a few points
1. Need at least 3 months fees ready b4 opening
2. Make sure you find something that is not already flooded on sites
3. Get in experienced people
4. Make sure you have experience at a reasonable level of staffing on sites before starting


I would recomend setting the site up with a few good friends who are experienced and do as a joint venture

Then once all that done all you need is a lot of good luck

All the above also assumes you or some one is good with coding of sites as well

Ok my advice to much of a surprise is build a well-seeded good-speed XXX site.
Thats the only thing missing out there. Theres always Puretna and Empornium but their speeds usually suck so y not do what others dont

no new trackers are needed . . . please dont make another

How abt a Ipod tracker????

don't mind the posts asking you to not make another tracker. make a tracker if you want to. no harm done.

Exactly. I suggest you to create tracker with content which is similar to your hobby, for example music style, film genre, soft etc. Rather focus on smaller range of content.

You may regret saying that one day.

A lot of trackers fail through a few main things
1. Lack of knowledge.
2. Lack of funds.
3. Find to much like hard work.

If you can get all them 3 right you got a chance but still it might flop

Yeah i agree there it is alot of work and it could go wrong etc but just try your not loosing anything :)

if you don't have the financial background to cover the costs for proper hosting etc, i'd suggest you put your idea on ice. you can't count on donations, especially in the first three to four month. if you say i'm able to pay for the tracker for at least half a year by myself, then come again.

of course you can brainstorm and collect ideas, there's nothing wrong with this.

keep in mind though that you (or possible co-owners) are the ones fully responsible for the seed capital.

edit: and please get rid of the countless spelling mistakes in your rules.
