Calculator. Considering removing this feature from my site in arcurs.com v2

Is anybody at all using this feature? Can I remove it from my new site due for launch soon?

I use it all the time and recommend it to others too. It's very useful and surprisingly accurate in projections.

  I agree that it is useful and pretty accurate. Having said that, It's up to you to do what you think is best. I use the keyword tool all the time- that's a great tool. The one thing I couldn't do without is your helpful and sharing attitude to the microstock community, so don't lose that!

You shoud add some "IS site not functioning" into the calculations factor. it seems to happend quite often.

Anything that keeps your competitors focused on checking their stats and re-calculating them to take into account a hypothetical future, instead of doing actual work, should of course stay! ;)

Not for me, but it's so good of you to ask before taking it down.  (Any act of respectful generosity is music to my ears at the moment).

I hope you'll keep it there for those who have said they enjoy using it though.

I hadn't noticed it before, but it looks interesting and if it stays I think I'd be interested in checking it out more.

I use it now and then.
BTW I'm surprised you don't have google analytics or woopra on that page.
If you don't want to host it any longer why not donate it to here?!

That's because you don't have enough sales to make it relevant. You can just use your fingers and toes instead.

Best,
Jonathan
