Hey Guys,

I know there are a lot of site browsers and posters - afternoon posters! that use this site. I just wanted to remind you that we are really ken to offer a free link exchange on your respective surf related site. We can get you a link under the resources area on whatever your respective country is: Heres Australia http://www.surfingatlas.com/country/15 so your link would go right above Sunshine Coast surf or the UK here:http://www.surfingatlas.com/country/198 so your link would go on top etc etc.

All we ask in exchange is a reciprocal link on your own site, some people want a banenr or a logo which is cool or they use a link to one of the surf spots to show their own customers where they are, whatever you need just let us know!

Done!

Patience my child - we will be going loud with this shortly but yes in short we will be wrapping Tracks subscriptions into the membership price moving forward. So now you get the worlds best surf mag when you sign up on the worlds best surf travel site!

Don't forget to check out the Surfing Atlas travel stories on the Tracks site as well as in the mag:

As discussed, you already have one thread for this, use that. Spam this again and you're banned

Hey Guys, thanks or the feedback on this. A few lines on what we have been up to over the last few months.

I guess the main focus has been on building added features for members. A lot of ur content and hard work has started to appear on other surf related sites without reference. Flattering I guess but annoying as well. We are going to start locking down parts of the atlas that will only be reached by members logging in with their username and password. This gives us a lot more impetus to produce content for those members as opposed to free editorial for every surf magazine that thinks they know how to build a website.

We have formed a great relationship with one of the major surf magazines which I will announce formally on the site shortly. This will give us the ability to produce some great print products and guides. Discounts for members another add on we have factored into the process.

Because forums are a free to use area of the site we have been reluctant to put extra funds into developing them at present but a few of the media relationships we have set up should see a lot more activity on them in 2010. 89 people online as I write this all browsing through various countries and surf spots from around the world. Our big focus in 2010 will be offering enough tools and products available to members only to encourage them to sign up and keep coming back.

Imagery? hmm, let me know exactly what problems you are having guys and I will look into it. The only limiting factor is the size of an image. 512k per image is the cut off. We had around 250,000 visits last month, over 1 million page impressions and that burned through 100gig! so we have to keep the bandwidth in check some how.

Anyway team, looking forward to having you all onboard in 2010 and getting your feedback on the way the atlas continues to evolve.

Happy New Year!

Jaff, more standing river waves? I'll get something up for you.

To add photos or videos just go to the spot and use the add video / photo button. The only thing tricky with the photo is that it wont take anything over 512K - our bandwidth is nuts at the moment, We are getting around 9000 visitors per day - there are 175 people online as I write this. Might have to do a silver membership drive to pay for it (hint to all the free bronzies out there)

If you add video here it will put it onto our YouTube account and automatically upload it here - Snip Snap!

Let Me Know how You go!
