I'm shutting down KGZ

[jediX]

First and foremost, make sure all of the images and pages are backed up on your computer. You'll probably regret losing what looks like a ton of work.

I'd recommend just to keep the site as long as you aren't being charged for it or don't have any issues posting copyrighted images.

I've had my current site for nearly 3 years and the only people that even go there are my friends, but I keep it up anyway. As of right now, there are 4,104 hits on yours, which is far more than any of my sites ever have (and considering its only been up since, what, May?)... and my old one was up for nearly 4 years.

If you want hits, just spiff up the page (if you need design advice, ask me) and wait for Google to index it. Just remember that this TAKES TIME and unless you are already getting lots of hits or actually pay them (which is ridiculous), it won't happen for a while. To remedy this, just find an appropriate forum and plug away.

Sites about obscure actors/actresses do get hits so long as they are linked on all the major sites that reference them -- so if your site isn't already linked from tv.com's 'Whose Line' guide (assuming that they have one...), try and get it to be so.

Well, I actually have no idea who Kathy is, or what Whose Line is...but...I'd never advocate shutting a site. Maybe you should try as Jedi said to link it from more places. Like IMDB, etc.

My site is listed at IMDb, Yahoo, and was once listed on TV Tome before the idiot webmaster backstabbed us. And of course, everything on the site is backed up on my hard drive.

Just a friendly reminder that tonight's the last night my site will be on the web, so if you want to see it one last time before I shut it down you better.
And Kathy, whatever you're working on right now, sorry to disappoint you, but I'm only one of the VERY FEW Americans who actually like you. Thanks for answering my mail though.

Wow, I guess I typed all that up for nothing, then.

But, just so you know, sites never become popular over night unless there's a ton of buzz going around. With sites on obscure matters (such as my site on the euphonium instrument that I updated frequently for about 3 years... people still go there, even), you are NEVER going to quickly generate traffic.

Or you could just 'donate' your info to her Wikipedia page and be an editor of it -- that comes up on page 1 of the hits for her name.

Maybe I'll try that.

AHHH! I CAN'T DO IT! I JUST CAN'T DO IT! I start to hesitate whenever I try to click the "delete this account" option. But what's the point in keeping it up if no one cares? But then again, I just remembered that I created the site because I like Kathy Greenwood, and she was nice enough to help me out with biographical and filmographical information, and an autograph as thanks. Besides, I got two new members at the forum today, so I guess I really can't shut it down now.

As if you were going to in the first place...don't worry, you'll get over the attention phase.

No, he wasnt trying to get attention. He was seriously considering that. No one was going there so he figured he'd get rid of it but then he had second thoughts. I'm sick of how everyone here takes things the wrong way. So why dont you just go crawl back into your little internet hole and back off.
