I think making people sportsbet does not make sense for increasing traffic. So they put 5 or 10 percent that you have to bet. How does that increase traffic? It gives them the chance to increase revenue, but not traffic. Mike hits the best way to increase traffic. Affiliates and marketing increase traffic. Since marketing is out why not affiliates. We will never though know what wsex is doing to increase traffic or if they even care to. They may only care about running a stabile site and wait for traffic as long as it takes. We assume as players that they would want to increase traffic, but they may not find it to be profitable to do what is neccessary to increase traffic. Only they would know their bottom lines.

I further believe that until they can find a way to get traffic to sng's and mtt's they cash games will not grow. Big sites have huge action on these games. A new player goes to a sng's and anything over $5 will be sitting a while waiting. Cash games are robust compared to sng's and mtt's, which are the gateway to a lot of cash games player to get their feet wet.
