Articles on forums..

[Asad_N]

Hello,

It's such a pity to see so less traffic on a forum with so many experts. I hope the traffic increases and maybe you can include articles on the forum.

I am sure some of the experts here can write cool articles, or else you can borrow articles from free directories (only the most interesting ones) while linking back to the original source. I know this isn't the most efficient way of driving in traffic, but it helps in getting visitors.

As far as turning lurkers into members is concerned, I guess you guys know that better than me. But still, from my limited knowledge of running forums, I can suggest one thing, do pay attention to new users' topics simply because they'll move elsewhere if they don't what they were looking for. However, if they get some response, chances are they'll become long-term loyal members of the forum ;).

I stayed on the forums, despite my topics going unattended, because I knew some experts gather here and this forum has a quite a good potential. :1010:

Nice forum and good luck with it!

You mean something like this (http://www.forumuniversity.com/campus/f-classes-and-caps-2.html/)? :)

Right something like that but since the amount of content there is too less, maybe you could consider 3rd party articles for the moment. Just a suggestion though.

I think you might be on to something. :)

I'll dig around and see what I can find that would be relevant. It would give us more content. The only thing I'm afraid of, is someone may not write an article if there is one already here (even though it's properly linked and credited to the author).

You're right. But you can do selected articles and let it be an honor for the author to find their article listed on forum university. I agree, that adding too many of articles will make it seem worthless to authors for their articles to be on this forum. Well, I am sure you can think out something cool.

Good idea about 3rd party ones. I've written a few, but don't really have much time to spend on them. I'm also struggling for subjects :s

Interviews can also be great articles, we have a few...maybe we should see if anyone else would be willing?

yea i have already stated on this.
