It was close about 10 years ago between Imix and Toronto-lime...but since then Imix stood alone.

I think Imix is the best Caribbean site on the net, with dhr being a bit behind.

Imix and DHR should not be mentioned in the same sentence...

The format change is what did them in many years ago. But given the owner's outlook he is simply happy that "caribbean, soca, calypso" when searched on google these days can lead to an abundance of useful hits which is certainly a far cry from a decade ago.

I hope this is ah lesson to all the people who take OUR sites for granted. We can be here today and gone tomorrow. Running a website is not cheap. Server fees and paying people to take pics cost money. 97% of the money we make goes back into the site. Without support we can’t operate. BUY tickets, support advertise events. Promoters need to stop being CHEAP or Deadbeats. Currently we are doing 225K unique visitors monthly 10 times better than any other site in our class. All with the help of our Staff and members.


Remember, Yuh doh buy tickets or support ah FETE promoter don’t advertise, we can’t pay the bills. Doh pay yuh bills shit get shut down
Don't it make sense now to switch gears and expand... That is the corner stone should be based on ad dollars coming in now that you can claim the #1. W. I. Portal. And incorporate breaking news like TMZ. Or like Black Voices back in the days, this would make more sense, as much as a lot of us would like to support all Imix functions, you have a lot of unprofessional so call promoters giving you business that even if I was getting a free ticket, i wouldn't go due to their unprofessionalism over and over...... And you know the issues!



It's time to expand and move from a mom and pop operation!

We are trying our best to improve the site, but it’s hard when you don’t have the money and some of our members don’t support the site or the people who pay for Ad’s … I will let the cat out the bag . Currently we are working on ah iPhone/android app for the site but funds are low ... Don't worry in five yrs Mark Z and the other billionaires who own FB will have all the latest SOCA

OK, fair enough, I think the emphasis should be on ad $, at the end of the day no promoters will have deep pockets like a corp to fund a site like Imix on a regular basis, if you guys interest I will email you someone that can give you insight on how to expand, increase traffic flows, and to go after Big Ad $........ Either way, the logical step or emphasis should be on that, not promoters.

So what you think make people WANT TO support a site ?

I would think its about getting traffic and advertisers...isn't it about how comfortable advertisers feel....
