    SEO Search Traffic vs. Community Loyalty

    So, unless you're devoted to posting at those places, reply less in an effort to get people to your community to engage with you. Maybe that will work, too. :)

    How often do you make new posts?

    That's not a bad idea. By doing that, you can ensure you're active each day. Create new topics one day, reply to topics the next day, and repeat. That is a great strategy for keeping the admin busy. Too many admins are too quiet. I sort of get tired on being active on forums that expect the...

    Hiding forum statistics

    It's been pretty nice killing the habit of looking at the stats. I don't even miss them anymore. It actually opens my creative side up and gives me less worry. I don't have to care about what numbers we have on the forums, anymore.

    Forums with blogs, Blogs with forums...

    Too many addons!!

    How many addons is too many addons for a forum? I've always tried to keep mine under 10. Right now, I have well under 10. What number do you think is too much and why that number versus any other number? What does having too many addons on a forum mean to you as a forum admin?

    SEO Search Traffic vs. Community Loyalty

    Are people commenting on your blog by chance? If they are, turn your comments off and post a topic on your forum that links to the blog post with maybe a quote of the post on the forum and then welcome comments there. Put on your blog, to comment, go to the forum :)

    Forums that Help Forum Owners

    Yeah. And it's even worse on social media. Because of how the algorithm doesn't let you see your friends all the time and keeps wanting you to see new things, you miss things. A friend of mine had died in a car accident and I didn't know about it until about a year after. He was an online...

    Forums that Help Forum Owners

    He was sick before. I wonder if he got sick again. I was glad to see him back. I've tried to reach out but never got anything back.

    Founder burnout kills forums

    It's why I'm really picky about what I buy or who I buy from in the community spaces.

    SEO is changing for us bloggers, as we know! The AI snippets are really impacting question-based search intent which is like almost all search intent these days. If our content gets into the sources of the AI snippet at the top of SERPs, then it will help us in terms of SEO. I think we need...

    vBulletin If vBulletin had a better style...

    I have two vBulletin 6 licenses. I have two forums on them. The forums and the features are great but the styles kind of suck. I really think if they worked on a new style structure, and modernized it a bit more, then it would dramatically make the forum software so much better. What do you...
