I bought a powerball ticket last night. Potentially I am a multi millionaire, but you don't see me quitting my day job over it (yet)

That is the straight math using the entire member base of Oprano in the calculations. Since the entire memberbase is not active, that skews it quite a lot that is why I posted the one one hundreth of a percent numbers first.

Nick, the 10%-20% response rate is based on targetted direct mail campaigns, not email campaigns. However, I have done targetted mainstream email campaigns that have drawn that kind of a response rate. It all depends on how precisely the campaign is targetted and the perceived value of any premium offered. (Like I should be telling you about email campaigns...duh )

Anyway, the bottom line is that there is still some gold in them there hills

Edited in: DrGuile (my fine gay canadian frog friend) if you want to see the math I used (very simple actually didn't do all the fancy statistical shit) http://www.bntnews.com/optraffic.htm I just used straight extrapolation.

Please note that for the calculations of number of joins I used the LOW end of each poll choice. ie: if the question was 75-99 joins, I used the low of instead of the median hence if you look at the row of 1-9 joins all the numbers were based on that webmaster providing one join a day.
