Monetizing/making 2+2 better

Mat,

I actually did help by giving Ed a lot of specific suggestions.

I was not willing to spend any extensive time on that without somewhat reasonable compensation, though I'd happily help out at below-market prices just because I like this place.

Here's some free advice that could make the site millions.

1: Host blogs for 2+2ers

2: Have tournament and cash game tracking, like pocketfives and highstakes.nu.

3: Have a hand converter as part of the site like the tons of ones out there.

4: Have a hand database like pokerhand.org

5: Have a revenue-share marketplace for users to sell their videos or other products, similar to stuff being sold at cardrunners.com

There are many other things you could do, but these are a number of things that would directly increase page views, site loyalty/stickiness, and revenues to 2+2.

Not apples to apples, but here's a fashion site that is aggressively doing the types of things that I would do if I were running 2+2.

They just raised $18.5 million dollars in growth capital and are valued at $150 million.

Working linky.
