I have found Reddit to be a pretty good source of traffic. What you can do is to sometimes post links to your content on subreddits dedicated to your website's subject. Don't do it too often and don't only post links to your own websites because you will annoy the other users and get banned. The...
As you said, the non human traffic generates revenues as well, therefore, I've never really felt any need to keep it off of my websites. As long as they don't use too many resources the bots can visit my sites all day long. The spam bots are the ones I am super annoyed at, specially on my...
Thank you for all the info. So, basically, stay away from facebook groups, focus on growing my own page and trying to get retweets. Does google offer more weight to tweets made from accounts with a lot of followers compared to new accounts or old accounts with only a few hundred followers?
I am currently running a few forums and every single one of them has terrible click through rates. The CTRs are all something like 0.03%. I have tried all sorts of ad placements but none of them have resulted in more clicks. Is this because I have the same people visiting over and over again?
It's a very competitive niche, you're not going to have an easy time getting ahead of all the other people doing this, but you should firstly make sure everything is right on your website from a SEO point of view. Grow your social media accounts as well and encourage people to join your...
What experiences have you had about this subject? Have you noticed an increase in search engine rankings for your websites after you have gotten a lot of social media back links? Can google even index stuff that's on facebook?
You have to engage other users. They might respond and thus increase your account's visibility. You also have to post interesting stuff which will likely result in some of your followers retweeting your posts thus, again, increasing your visibility. Another way is to use H tags. People actually...
Have any of you experimented with implementing a revenue sharing scheme for your forum users? How have they responded? What proportion of them participated? Did that incentivize them to start posting more or perhaps promoting your forum more?
Thanks for all of your suggestions guys. I always feel a bit uneasy about giving people power over my forums simply because a malevolent one could destroy the place by deleting all the threads or banning people. It's essential that we vet the potential mods properly. Have any of you ever tried a...
It's not a must but from my experience it does help. This isn't the most scientific method, but I've noticed I get more visitors from search engines if I do place my keywords in the title and the first paragraph of the text. You should do a similar experiment and see what works for you. Even if...
These are all very good suggestions to which I would also add encouraging users to share your stuff on their social media accounts. That basically counts as an endorsement in their friends' eyes and they're much more likely to decide to visit your website. It's also free.
I happen to run a couple of forums and I've always had difficulties deciding who to invite to participate in the forum's maintenance as a moderator. I usually go with very active users who have no history of going berserk on other forum members, posting illegal stuff or trolling.
Personally, I prefer to post something on each of my blogs every single day. Yes, it's really tedious, but I think it shows the search engines you're serious about maintaining your website and this pays dividends in the form of higher rankings and more visitors from Google, Yahoo, etc...
