The Megapixel.Net Story
Check out megapixel.net. Jupitermedia bought this site a few weeks ago and major changes are in the works. None of the changes will take away from what makes this site great --- its terrific digital camera reviews and community forums for both chat and photos. And all of this is made possible because of the talented creator, Denys Bouton and his assistant editor Olivier.
These two gentlemen illustrate how the Web still allows a small businessman to reap great success on a shoestring. Denys and Olivier built megapixel.net by "word of net" and superb content. Good content breeds readership and breeds being discovered by search engines. Megapixel scores high on Google and other search engines. Yet the founders have never spent a penny on promotion.
Another attribute is that the site is translated into French daily. In fact megapixel.net is the number one digital camera review site in the French language and has high search engine rankings in France and Switzerland, not too mention French-reading Canada.
Things to watch for: The site is built on frames and will shortly be redesigned to allow for greater ad presence. This will allow us to not only offer more paid ad opportunities, but also to offer our various JupiterImages offerings.
Needless to say I am really excited about working with Denys and Olivier. The potential for such a site in our JupiterWeb and JupiterImages networks is unlimited. I will keep readers up to date on developments.
