well since i posted this, only two people have downloaded the free model on this site so my question to the community is why. Wondering if it is a quality issue, or if it's because you need to register to download it and if that's the issue what it would take you to register (more free models, more model types, etc)

What is the purpose of registration? What benefit does it offer YOU and what benefit to ME?

Mark

if offers the ability for me to see what most users like to allow you guys more content that you enjoy. and it offers you a free model

Edit: the reason it gives me the ability is that i can see how many unique visitors downloaded specific products.

yes but its more convenient for people to just go to the website and download free models, cause its fast, and since a free model is exciting, people want it fast!

If you want to know what people like, leave them a space to type something, and ask...

Cheers


Edit: Plus you have lots to type in for your registration; Why do you need my address or telephone? And, before this last post, I didn't even see that I could register to your website

Well currently i use a site management system that i have to go in and manually edit the css and php to change things (it took me almost 10 hours just to set it up so that I can post free content) so it takes a lot change the registration page but i may look into that. thanks for the idea.

Registration to a web site also aids in security. Though I have never had people register at my web sites I do insist people register for my forums. Asking for a person's telephone number doesn't do much for security unless you're accessing an international telephone database and checking authenticity, not likely. I'd suggest keeping the registration but drop some "very personal, unnecessary" information requests. If I were to register at a web site insisted on getting my phone number I'd leave. Listing your phone number should always be an "option" anyway.

Easiest way, lc, is to just add some php and .htaccess code to the site and then you can moniter downloads without requiring registration

I might think about it,

In the mean time, i changed the registration page, now you just put your first last name in, email, country, and password

I was going to take country out two, but it's nice seeing where everyone is from.
