Hi all,
About a month ago I put in a forum (bb press) on my websit and it appeared I got some good responses. People were registering and my traffic started to increase.
Yes this does happen with forums. I just test the site or the email. If both are real will reply in my blog, otherwise I mark them spam. No worries, if the information I got out of the forum discussions gave me important information. Which does happen.
Recently after joining a hangout was getting emails everyday from all over the world. Just muted them in my email or spammed them from my site and saw them no more.
I think anytime you comment anywhere in the social network or in forums or in hangouts you expose yourself. Figure if I gain something worthwhile am okay with opting out or muting them when am mailed more than once a week.
Also figure it is their loss for being so aggressive in email marketing or backlinking to my site. ^_~
Have not done Forums thank for bringing this up. And thank to our awesome WAers for there answers
It is likely they were accessing your forum to gain forum profile links. This used to be a method of gaining backlinks to a site. If they were not active, then it's not that much use to you.
Most importantly, if there is no change in the money you are making from your site (even if $0 is still $0), then the extra traffic isn't worth much. Traffic that doesn't convert to sales isn't worth worrying about.
Dealing with spammers is one of the biggest issues when running a forum, so I usually tell people to not have them. Your blog posts and the comment area should suffice for discussion.
Thanks Nathaniell - sound advice and just what I thought. I think that's the way I will go :-)
Hi Yin,
In April and May I had 27 invitations accepted on my Website not one of them completed his free account completed their Profile or posted a picture , I sent all the welcome letters and also a separate Email asking them to complete their free accounts none of them did as I asked or answered my emails , I think something fishy was going on, i private messaged Carson about it but really got no satisfactory answer. Not one of the 27 invites converted to Premium I don't really know what was going on but its a little bit strange and then suddenly two weeks ago the invite acceptances suddenly stopped , So what do you make of that .

There are many people that create accounts at WA just to test the tires or to see what they can get for free. 27 referrals with no account completions is a bit high, but not out of the ordinary. I have many unresponsive referrals too!
You'll have to see where people are signing up from on your site, and tweak your sales pitch or use of affiliate links to try to up your conversion rate.
Getting referrals is good though, it's one step closer to sales conversions.

Hi I don't know why my images are not aligning well. I've never had this problem before and I am aware of how to align my images properly - can anyone shed any light?
The
Do you know HTML? Your H tags are interfering with the alignment. I had the same problem.

I asked the same question basically- feel free to review the answers.
I don't know why, but it started to work when I put in captions to my images. It looks fine now - I sure hope it stays like that!

It's been a little while since I touched based with you all and sadly the progress on my website has stalled a bit. I just got a new job, so I have been pretty bu
Does she want a backlink to her website? If yes, then she is likely just looking for a backlink and you should ignore her. Her article was bad because she probably hired someone to do it for $2. This is a common tactic.
If she truly is a fan (not asking for any links or mention of her website), the best you can do is to tell her that it's not as high quality as you hoped and you have a responsibility to your readers.
If she doesn't get that or gives you attitude, well, you can't please everyone. You're a business owner, not an article directory :)
Hi Nathaniel, yes she wants a backlink. You r right. Thank you all. I really did not know how to deal with it! I'm sticking to my guns!
Oh, what a rough decision to make. If you don't want her article on your site, you should just have to be honest and tell her it isn't fitting your parameters for your site. Good luck!
You have a great site and you shouldn't compromise the integrity of the quality it offers. Keep it real and stay with your instincts about what's right for it. It's good to be nice and polite, but your business is YOUR business, not anyone else's.
Consider what is best for you and your website and go from there. Tell her that there are some areas that needs fixing, and if she's not willing to do so then say that you can't let sub-standard work through for your website. All the best but be careful of that person.
Yinc you consider wish is best for you, you learn at WA for your own good and explain to her has to understand the situation.
Hello,
I like your site a lot. I think you are entitled to hurt someone's feeling and not compromise yourself. Stick to your standards, it's about you, your passion and your site here.

Hello Yinc,
Tell her that you are in the process of Monetizing you site and to get all the necessary SEO points for ranking, all the articles must originate from you refer her to Wealthy Affiliates tell her to register fro a free Account and that once she has registered that she can submit her article to street articles, this shouldnt upset her you may have gained a referral and she'll think you have done her a favour.
Congratulations on your new Job.

Hi guys,
I have just created a new post on the two new Harley Davidson motorcycles. I would love some comments on my post from WA members that are Harley or motorcycle fa
sorry, I little bit of drool escaped...I used to ride 52/52 to and from work, up to 150 miles round trip each day! I love the feelings that reading your blog brings back and I think that it is just fab....jealous...a little bit..
I tried leaving a comment but got this: ERROR: Empty CAPTCHA
Very nice site by the way! Love the structure of the content and the pics/vids are sweet :)
Thanks for visiting - I have rectified this and hope you can visit again and make your comment - please leave me your new post so I may return the favour :-)
Okay it worked this time :)
Here you go: http://thepokerbro.com/was-phil-ivey-cheating/
Thanks!
Thanks Chris! You have some awesome information and it is great to be reminded of the fact that this takes time. I have only been at this for a bit over 3 months! Man can I be impatient! your post was awesome - left you a comment :-)
I couldn't resist... had to visit your site ;)
Really nice site, informative and very good usability.
in the leather jackets part it would maybe be a good idea to link the pics with affiliate-links direct to the product. nice selection btw.
thumbs up and congrats on the very nice work you did
Thanks SeahorseOne for leaving a comment - please send me a link to your site so I may leave a comment too - thanks! :-)

Thanks - have left a comment - what is that plugin you use that allows people to comment from different social media forums? That's cool!
Thanks guys! Please leave comments on my post on website too and I will be sure to return the favour!
Hi, site looks good, I am a newbie, so I can just give you my honest opinion from a visitors point of view... I like it ;=) I like the layout and colors, I would recommend changing the Heading colors to something other than blue, maybe maroon ? Good content :-) I like the short banner for FC MOTTO better than the really long one on this post. Hope this helps..
Your website is looking good. Just the alignment of first paragraph is a bit distracting. There seems to be too much space between some content and heading. I would also stick to using the same font and if you need to emphasize it, use italics, bold or colour - otherwise it is a bit distracting too - your content seems to be coming along nicely! :-)
omg - it took ages - tinkled around with some favicon generators online - http://www.favicon.co.uk/
