helping a BB become successful

So one of the items I read about had to do with posting and placement.
Just by making a post daily it activates some search something........surely Keith could expound on that.
Anyway, bottom line the more we use this board the more visible it can become to others.

Aside from the mechanics of making it work, would love to see some feedback on this.

The search engines love fresh meat.

Right now, the entire Forum is searchable and "publicly" viewable. We may want to consider placing certain categories of discussions off-limits to the search engines/public and to make them Members Only.

We needn't be too concerned with SERP ranking: soon, I believe, we will be coupled with the MAWS site and everyone interested will easily find us.

Something to avoid: Single post threads.

Expound you did. Thanks Keith

Links to external sites also help search rankings
-- maybe a link to all DSC's websites
& some pointers to handy info (ie Literature) for new folk?

Great tip, thanks

along with eventually getting on MAWS it would be great too to be linked to districts.

Linked from Districts would be even better...or am I being selfish? Don't answer that.

I really have no problems with my posts being searchable publically as long as my real name isn't obtainable.  There are a lot of people who need help out there.
