I haven't really started my forum for making money. I just want it to be successful for my own happiness what about you though?
TechLifeForum was initially created just to provide a decent community for people to enjoy, and serve as a great knowledgebase for any computer-related information. So this next step that we're about to make seems really appealing to us, as it will definitely raise the recognition for our forum and expand on twice the amount of content available for everyone else. Ultimately it was built for the community itself, not for money or any personal benefits for us. I just wanted a forum that everyone could enjoy, and a place where great knowledge comes free.
Look at the post Gaijin made, he's a good member on our forum as well (I know him as the PHP lover lol
) but he raises great points. backlinks are the easiest way out, and content is very important. Duplicate content will be penalized though for SEO which is why I always remove spammer posts from my forum. Much easier than telling a search engine not to look at specific content if I was to place these posts somewhere on my forum and keep them instead of removing them. But even if it makes your overall forum stats go up (if you were hiding that junk spam like some forums do from regular members) I would rather have quality content wasting space on my forum instead.
