Checked your site imgsu.net. Its a good site. Since you claim it has got the same features of imgur, you wont get many visitors to your site. What I mean is your site should have more features that imgur for visitors to use your site. Atleast give some rewards to your users just like faucets for some days, till your site gets popular. Or you have to promote your site in any adnetwork to get more visitors to your site. Anyways all the best for your new site.

@Fire Rabbit: Hi, glad to hear that you liked our site. We appreciate your suggestions regarding the promotion. However, we are not planning to mass promote the site. We want our users to like and enjoy the site. When people mass promote their website, that means they wish to earn revenue fast. We are funding this project ourselves and we prefer to grow slow and steady. Currently, our main traffic source is "word of mouth" and little promotion on Reddit. We are seeing traffic already.

I don't think they need to give anything away. Free image hosting is a benefit among itself. Sure, it's not imgur but why does it have to be? Direct links to images nearly all work the same.

@RGBKey: Thank you for your support and kind words! IMGSU and ICP will always be free. We don't like users paying to host their own images.

Don't focus for now with revenue, focus now on how you'll spread your website and get some more traffic. Don't worry about the revenue, later on if you've got thousands of visits daily profit will just chase and follow you. I have back read everything and it's good that you have separated SFW and NSFW as not all the users are on the right age.

@blockman: We are not focusing on revenue generation right now. We are funding this project ourself and we wish to keep IMGSU and ICP this way. You are right, when we get high traffic, daily profit will follow. However, we want to keep both platforms enjoyable for users. Even if we happen to allow ads in future, they will be minimal. If not, we might turn this projects Public. We will keep funding the projects and offer donation options for interested users. This way, our users will be able to enjoy IMGSU and ICP.

We are still working on promotion strategies, if you have suggestions, please share with us!

Indeed, we received a lot of suggestions to separate SFW and NSFW platforms, so we created dedicated domain for each niche.

UPDATE

We have received many new/interesting feature request from users and we are working on them with our developer team! Stay tuned and keep uploading.

Kind Regards,

Dimitri1
