Add to that, plays from Ourstage, and soundclick, and it would probably add to around 1,000. So lets say, 3000 for the month. Very low figures, but then again, I haven't been promotiong anything.

I get more plays on other sites too, but some plays are more valuable than others. I try new things out, measure their effectiveness, and dump what doesn't work.

What kind of sales are you getting out of those 3,000 plays per month? When I got 4,000 plays at OurStage through winning the electronic category, it didn't result in any sales that I could trace. I doubt more than 10% of those listens went past the 0:30 mark, due to the nature of the contest.
