People visit and stay for a while, sometimes more than 10 minutes, but nobody ever signs up. Its a really new site but i still dont know why nobody signs up. Help?
Well, there is a lot of competition in this area. And I would imagine that many students use their own college's boards? Also, many people are not in school currently? Just some ideas why....
I would say that you should have a template that is catered more towards college students. They need to know exactly what the site is about the second the page loads. To me, it just looks like any other forum.
The site needs some graphics. How much traffic do you get? Maybe you need to start link building first to increase your traffic.
The internet is a numbers game. How may visitors do you get? How do people find your site? There isn't much text for SEs to spider on your homepage for them to know what your site is about.
not many people a day les that 50, but im about to put an ad on a huge proxy site (30k + uniques a day) that obviously has lots of teens on it. I really searched a long time for a college like forum template but I couldnt find any. If you have any links for it put them here.
first of all you gotta change the templet of your forum... and yes you got a new topic forum on college.... i can suggest you one thing... you can use a plugn of vbulliten in which a user will be allowed to view only 3 or 4 posts... and then it will ask for login or register... in this way you can increase the members of your forums...
