vBulletin SEO Setup

Hello, I thought I would write today about keeping your website happy. A website is just like a person. And if it is a happy website, then everyone who visits will be happy. I know this doesnt make much since but allow me to explain. There are things that make a website happy, at least in my eyes:

1. No Downtime
2. Lots of new content
3. Making money
4. Friendly people who understand this is someone’s baby

No Downtime

The most important thing is your hosting. Because if your site is not up, then its not happy. You spend all these hours putting together this nice new site you can be proud of, but then you surf to it and its down. This can be a very frustrating thing. So, what do you do? You contact your host, but they don’t seem to care as much as you do. Then, you have to take all this time trying to find a new host. It’s just a big headache.

So how do you know whats a good host?

Well here are a couple things you should look at:

1. Support(Google them and check out all the reviews on sites like Vbulletin Setup )
2. The price(You always get what you pay for)
3. The word Unlimited(If they use this for bandwidth or space, find a better host)
4. Their uptime(Use online tools such as Host Tracker)

New Content

Well this is fairly straight forward. You must have new content. Content is what keeps everyone coming. Its what brings those precious little bots. So how do you get it? Well it takes effort. Now some people use feeds, but that content is not very original are genuine is it? I would think not. So you have to get people to the site and get them to post or the dreaded do it yourself method. But, If you want to keep your site happy. You have to do what it takes.

1. Good staff(don’t pick lazy people)
2. Time and Effort(You have to keep that baby happy and feed it)
3. Anything goes(Come up with original ideas and ways to put new stuff on your site)

Making Money

So you have a happy site, but its costing you money. Now you are not a happy owner. Time to make some money. Most people go to adsense way as its very effective and can easily pay for the hosting. But what if your site is too big? Well you have to get sponsors. So bust that hump and hustle. Thats the best way to make money Hustle Hustle and Hustle some more.

1. Advertise(Adsense, adbrite, clicksor, …etc)
2. Sell a service(This is a little more time consuming and takes some upkeep, but good idea)
3. Sell space(Sell some space on your site and get them sponsors)
4. Contests(Raffle something off, or come up with a prize or something)
5. Anything goes(Think outside the box, come up with ideas, maybe the next big idea)

Friendly Good People

I know this sounds silly, but its important. Advertise to people who agree with your views and ideals of your site. The more people with the same interest, the less chance of conflict. So if your niche is Apples, advertise to apple people not orange people. I know most people will sell all advertising is good advertising, but thats not true. If you advertise to 500,000 people who like oranges, how does that help your apple site? It doesn’t. So take the time to target you audience and not waste time and effort. Also, never ever play favorites with your members. This creates conflict and factions within your happy site. This is not gang warfare. Its your happy site and you are God. You created it. So nurture your creation and protect it from everyone and everything, including itself. Be a good parent and you will go far. And your site will be happy.

1. Advertise to right people(Don’t waste money on wrong people)
2. Keep everyone in check(Don’t let them disobey and break rules)
3. Make sure your a good parent(Feed your site and keep it happy)

In closing I hope you understand my cute yet informative post on a happy site. I know its silly, but sometimes you can have a little fun while your being serious. Anyway, I hope I least made enough sense for you want to read it all and learn. Well time for me to hit the dusty trail. And to all a good site.
