HI Fergal..
3- Wikipedia- Fergal, I have noticed that there is still no page of BAF on Wikipedia. With changing times & considering the fact that Wikipedia enjoys a very large customer base, it is necessity that we should insert an article about BAF in Wikipedia with a Backlink to our forum & all other pages associated with Business in Wikipedia.

It would be great to get a wikipedia page on the BAF, but you have to be very careful with Wikipedia about self-promotion. They don't like it if a website owner ads a page about their site just for promotional purposes, you have to offer some kind of reason for it I think. Does anyone know how this works actually? I'd love a page on there too if anyone would like to make me one lol

Thanks for the suggestion, sounds like an idea, how do we start?

We will first have to all follow each other, then start talking about BAF from time to time by @replies and NO, dont and any #s to it, we want people to feel we are talking to each other, not trying to promote it.

If you make a post about BAF on Twitter please do reply to this thread with a link to it, so we will know that you are helping to promote our community and we can reply to your tweet.

nbshopper you might find this link helpful, it outlines Wikipedia's policies for posting articles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped..._first_article

People won't be interested to join a Forum unless it offers something they want or it has interesting topic to discuss. When it comes to promoting a forum then blogs, forums, web listing directories can be counted on. And it's the members of a forum that can do it well. Different members know different sites where they can promote sites like BAF.

People join the forum if it offers them chance to earn or get free domain or web hosting. Users always rush towards such sites/forums. But it needs publicity. Fortunately, some search in Google to earn some money and they join the site where they can earn.

BAF needs to have little changes whether it is related to graphics (banner/logo/theme), timely competition or adding some new features. Change with time is good. A new refreshinglook of forum will refresh users. When the sites gets updated on time, people won't think it as a scam. In some forums, Administrator is never active and it results in failure of the forum. It's the responsibility of the Admin to efficiently manage the forum. Then, the forum can progress.

Thanks for your feedback Devilbatista, is there anything specific that you would like to see changed or improved?

[pendelton]

I've run my site submitter on BAF several times, and, I'll promote the site more elsewhere.

Only 1,998 to go.

I've run my site submitter on BAF several times...

Thanks for that Pendelton, does that submit our link to directories?

Coincidentally I came across a blog today (V.L.), where you made a comment and linked back to BAF, so thanks for that also and for the suggestions you sent me via PM.

[pendelton]

Yes, minor search engines, link lists, directories.

Me?

I'm trying to focus much more on these things.

- Web Directory Submission, I'm submitting to many web directory.

- Post at Various Forum, I'm posting about BAF's 20K Prizes Competition which is an attraction for
members and even visitors.

- Email, Emailing to my Yahoo and Hotmail Friends about BAF and specially competition.

- Signature at Social Networks/Forum, Writing signature about BAF competition to various social networks and forum.

At the same while, I'm about to make my own website (will be noticed at My Goal section). Definately will publish about BAF.

[Fergal]

Thanks Devilbatista, I'm currently looking at that.

[DEADMAN]

Thanks Devilbatista, I'm currently looking at that.

Fergal,

Many popular websites are hit due to their service or logo/icon.
