Wondered if some of you guys could review my SEO FORUM I aim for it to be about blackhat and whitehat SEO and marketing, ok it needs a fair few members so feel free to join up as well and pass on your wisdom. Im still playing around with the topics at the moment, when I reach 200 members ill start to build a Vbulletin theme but at the moment I think a upgrade to vbulletin is a waste of money until the forum gets busier! Im not sure if to keep the marketplace or not though? Any topics you think I should add? Also do you think I should revanue share? I have a couple of paid forum posters but I have a few good users that seem to like to post already, I have noticed always getting guests but harder to get them to sign up. I might try the post 2 host game as well?
looks pretty good, I think may need to make it a little more eye catching to get people to want to stay and have a look around, have you installed ga and whats the bounce rate % regards Dave
Bounce rate is about 32% and average online time is 10 minutes, I havent done major promotion on it yet! Its only been up really for about a week, I want to get it looking better with good topics and posts
IMO, you should build community first. Take and give some offer, freebies, etc. Then, if the members was 1k, you can add paid forum. Just my opinion
