2 years ago I started a French Canadian world of warcraft gaming guild. Today it exceeds what I expected, we are known by the majority of french speaking canadians actually playing the game and we've exceeded the player cap of 500 months ago.

Last year I paid for pretty much all the expenses related to web hosting and to the voip host.

This year I thought maybe I could promote our main site a bit more and actually finance the ventrilo with the ad revenue that would be generated.
In order to do that a total revamp of the site is needed, which means dozens of hours of my time with a bit of help.

A rough estimate would be about 200-300 new visitors per day after revamp and lots of promotion. Knowing nothing about how much that could bring in, is it even worth it?

Any tips or steps I should take before finalizing my decision?

if you are changing the technology or changing the names of existing files. Your current ranking with search engine might decrease unless you do 301 redirect and take other necessary steps to maintain the same ranking.

Best of luck for the new site.
