So what does this mean for marketers? To begin with, I think the traffic numbers will decrease (at least in the short-term) as some users make the switch and many move on to other places..But what’s the biggest loss in moving to Propeller.com? Moving from a PR9 site with over 20,000,000 links to a PR0 (not even) site with 10 links.

I am just amazed at how many steps Netscape can take backwards. They actually had a site at one point that could be something and i have watched it just fade away since then. WOW!!!

I recently had a page1 on netscape and it only sent about 400 uniques despite rising up very far up the page. That was at a weekend though but even so it's not enough given it got over 60 votes.

Yeah - the way I see it Netscape never had a real direction for how they wanted to run it. At first it was extremely easy for things to get to the homepage - then it became extremely hard as they were extremely paranoid about spam and would ban accounts at will (Michael we have discussed that extensively) - then it reverted back to being super easy again (as you can see by just looking at the homepage today).

the homepage on netscape now is a complete joke. The voting bots have taken over and the moderators are all but ignoring it.

Changing to a new domain name isn't going to fix that problem, I mean how long will it take to update the programs?

They've got to find a balance, you'll never catch all the spam, it impossible. if you do you'll end up killing some good stuff along the way. If you let to much crap through people realize you don't care and nobody is minding the store and won't come back.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the place was in the best shape it was ever in when Jason Calacanis was in charge.

Don't give JC that much credit. I think Netscape was in much better shape pre-AOL days. They were in their best shape back when they were THE browser. Since then, it feels like a series of continual disappointments.
