Helping to market this forum
Message:
Hi guys, Would like to help spawn some ideas to market this forum and get more membership. I think biggest thing is getting the word out there that this place exists. I would suggest creating groups/pages for this forum on the popular social networking sites. As those sites grow and attract people who may have an interest in fishing, they might look for fishing groups on those networks. You want your name there. I think turning the home page into a blog would be a good idea for search engine optimization. I'd suggest using wordpress, this forum area could be a link on the blog's navigation. What info would go on the blog? Maybe guest articles. Information that could be considered timeless and being in a blog, it's much easier for search engines to find. Just an idea.

We are ranked pretty well with Google for the popular ct terms. We show either first or second page. There is room for improvement there though. One thing that I know I want to implement is a template for the fishing reports. It will help with SEO and also help the readability of the reports for users. I fear that a blog would become stagnant. Personally I do not know enough about fishing to write on the subject. We would need atleast 1 new article per week. I wouldn't mind building groups on some of the social networking sites, it would get some younger interest in the sport.
