Free Chips
lol
I’ll come say hello Randy, since you’ve come and raided my forum lol
Randy,
I’ve launched a message board site (non gambling) and I’ve watched other people try to launch message board sites.
Like any other site, you need TRAFFIC to be successful. But if you don’t have a lot of posters, it is hard to get traffic.
If you are serious about making your message board a success, you will have to market the site just like you do your gambling portal sites. That means doing traffic exchanges, search engine optimization, even paid advertising. Once you get a lot of people coming to your message board and posting regulary, you will get more traffic by word of mouth.
It’s hard work!
So unless you want to spend a lot of time and/or money promoting it, don’t expect your message board to attract a lot of interest.
Good Luck!
That’s true! Especially when it’s a forum specific site. I had to put 2x the amount of work into it as I did a regular site to get my first site as succesful as it was! Let’s hope I have teh same luck for round 2!
I suggest networking with other sites Randy *wink*
hint hint lolI participated in the “collective” gambling board and it worked pretty well. Since alot of other portals had it skinned for their site but we all shared the membership it always had visitors. You may want to look into something like that. It used to be run by the webmaster of Bonus Hunt but he sold it or gave it to someone else to run. If you want Ill ask around and see whos hosting it now.
In fact – heres a link to one of the skins
http://www.casinogamblingchat.com/?styleid=$styleid
So I guess casinogamblingchat.com is hosting now.
http://www.boardseed.com is a quite clever idea…basically post at other forums and they will post at yours.
Randy –
I just now invited my members from my old site to my new site and already in just a day about to hit 160 members…..give me like 7-9 more days to get to about 300 + members and then I will be more then happy to send some chatty kathys your way. Maybe we can trade or something….just hit me up on AIM later
Did yo have your poker game yet??
url of your board? We would be happy to do a couple of posts.
We have a nice little poker community board going and that was pretty quiet the first couple of months, but with a few posts and signups the thing started rolling along nicely
Dean-
Great board–I made several posts there this evening and will definitely begin contributing to your community.
If you get a chance, my new board’s at http://www.onlinecasinotalk.com. Would be glad to hear feedback. And would be glad to see you stop by and say hi too!
Hi Randy.
I’m trying really hard to get registered on your board. But it isn’t working out well – It was taking so long after I clicked that I clicked again, then it told me my name “Fergie” was taken.
haha
So I’m trying again with Rowmare, cuz I don’t have a password there for Fergie.
I signed up…due to the massive spam attack on my mail server (22k of it) will be a little while before I can dig to the confirmation LOL
lmao!
I have three emails from your forum, Randy. I have three accounts, so don’t get all excited – it’s just 3 me’s. Boy, that server was bogged down when I was registering – I didn’t get a single message saying I had created an account. Oh contraire, I got 3 messages saying the name I chose was taken.
:p
Hmmm. I might have to look into another message board provider–I’ve seen it run a little slow myself!
Fergie, Ellen, Professor-
Thanks for posting at my new message board! It’s starting to look like the real thing now!
sorry Randy…I got waylaid and forgot…will get over pronto! 😮
