Hey I starting to think it's getting a bit hard generating content on my own, the best method I think is getting users to generate the content. So my question is, what's the best way to get users to generate content and get it on my site? I know that forums are the obvious one, but that can be loads of hassle, endless spam finished my attempts at that... So has anyone got any other ideas on methods for making users generate content? Thanks!
Iv found its quite difficult to get users to contribute, you need to either provoke them into it or give them something in return. Iv made a good amount of content in the past with a free ads site...Obviously the whole point of it is to let people post ads. Peoples comments are always one way of getting the user to contribute. If its a blog then make it dofollow but be prepared to sift through literally thousands of spam comments.
Fastest way i can think of is actually buying content if you can't cope, if you want to shortage on the content, get the community involved, more activity, less writing, polls, quizzes, Ask the Readers, things of this type, it all depends on your site though, pm me if you have questions
