How about a article forum where members can contribute reprintable content/article? This forum has some "GREAT" power. So any well written articles will enhance experience for forum admin, content author and actual reader! Thanks
Yeah, i am agree with you. We need a forum called "Promotion Techniques". Where people should post their questions & tips like:- "How to promote a wallpapers website?". "Heres a article for those who want to make a games website" etc.. BTW great idea
There are already forums for such things. Read the forum descriptions, etc. Want to find out how to market a site? How about general business forum? Am thinking that this was asked before and the answer was NO!
<shameless_plug> DP users should contribute or take content from the article site in my sig! </shameless_plug> In all seriousness, posting tons of unique content/articles like this will cause DP membership numbers/traffic to explode, as in essence, every article posted here would be linkbait and SE bait.
Having an article site myself, I have to turn down daily scam articles! The type that are nothing but self promotion of sites and products. Plus all the useless articles that one million other people are using. That would be a problem here, people posting scam articles, duplicated content, etc. No, not a good idea at all.
good point, iowadog. --- edit: Thought about it a bit more, so I a revamping this post. There is tons of self promotion and spam in this forum. luckily, the mods here are good, and do a great job cleaning it up before we notice it. What happens in this proposed section is essentially the same as what goes on anyways. What would need to be done is a strict set of rules would need to be laid down, and then some moderators would really need to keep an eye on it, and remove the offending articles. Just my $0.02
Of course there are many potential problems. There are some peoples born to abuse a great system. Peoples start posting worthless junk articles from article pack they received or private label content pack. That's definitely useless. (Daily I get tons of SPAM articles to my email about Forex trading, online gambling tips, weight loss etc) Simple solution is all the articles should be approved prior to publishing. Maybe we need more moderators specifically to handle this task. The benefit of having an article section is this forum is phenomenal. Google will index the page within 24 hours. If the article is really well written, author can expect small flood of traffic to their site within few days. For example: You create an info product related to “How to sell products using online classifieds†Then you post a WELL written article something like “How to make money using online classifieds!†Your article in DP forum get ranked for keywords like “make money online†“selling products through online classifieds†etc. Some peoples will click on Adsense, which is still okay. Some serious peoples will actually read the article and may show interest to visit your site. Then who knows; they might even end up buying your ebook! As I said earlier the potential is phenomenal and everyone can benefit from it. Food for some thought… Let's talk more
By 'Article Forum' he's probably talking about a board where when you write an article, you can post a thread with your article and by-line. If some one made 10 articles and made 10 threads on the content board with an article in each thread, he would probably get infractions for making a lot of threads, even though it was way more than being just 'thx, link submited'!! If you are registered at warriorforum.com/forum look at their article board for a great example of a REAL 'Article Forum'.
