What to do with my template site?

    I've kinda let this site just fade into the darkness. I like the domain and want to keep it, but I really think I could do something better with it.

    thetemplateprofessionals[dot]com

    Any suggestions?

    I really like what you've got there at the moment. Are you generating any sales from it? I'm not too sure how competitive the template market is at the moment, but I'd imagine your site would be doing quite well.

    I'm getting sales - but nothing worth jumping up and down about. I actually get more income from people who have signed up as sub affiliates.

    If it's generating any sort of income for you I'd just let it be and move onto other projects. That is, ofcourse, unless you're willing to promote it a bit more. Are you doing any advertising at the moment?

    I agree with Ponynugget, you've got a nice site design that I think people would be very inclined to buy from. Perhaps it just needs more marketing to continue building it. Do you have any idea what kind of purchasing ratio (forget the official name for this all of a sudden is?) I'd imagine it would be around 2-3% if you have quality traffic, and if thats the case... you could probably do some adwords marketing to help increase sales.

    Are those templates unique to your site only? Why not release them for free under sponsorship links? :)

    I think the site looks really great, if you have anchor text like "free website templates" imbeded in your templates you will get more links to your site and better seo at the same time.

    if you already did that, just leave it alone, it will probably grow on its own.
