To kick off my new blog I have decided to do a case study on bringing an old dead site back to life and decided to share it with you lucky digitalpoint readers http://www.xeit.com/revive-an-old-site-case-study/ I'm basically sharing everything, the website, budget, everything along the way - feel free to join in and share your thoughts and we'll see how this turns out ... If anyone wants to join in, go digg up an old rusty site and we'll see what we can do with it...
im not sure what you mean: Add Wordpress to the main domain (the forum is /forums at the moment with a redirect) ah, nevermind i visited the site and see your redirect
Vbulletin is currently installed on www.domain.com/forums and I re-direct www.domain.com to that. This leaves me room to have a website on the www.domain.com and leave the forums where they are - capiche ?
Good luck! The Wordpress + VB seems to work very well for many people, most notably Steve Pavlina If and when you do manage to get your content to go viral, I would love to hear more detail about that, as it is something I haven't been able to do at all. Then again, the travel content that I publish might not be as link worthy...
Just added an update with a preview of the new design : http://www.xeit.com/revive-an-old-site-case-study-part-2/
It will be interesting to see how your ad budget works out for your site. I would be interested in how the paid post and stumbles work out for you.
