Yes, but how many?

How many members, posts, threads etc, equate to a "big" board (not just a good one, lol).

I do agree that all of these things are needed for a successful board, but I'm...

If members are driven to the main page (which by rights most links would be pointing to) and they want to actually view your content, if they click deeper into the site and see three lines out of 15...

What are the requirements to be a "big board"?

Heh, for that matter, what does it take to be a medium or large board?

Posts, threads, members? A combination of all of those?

Most of the...

I'm opposed to ANY SEO that actually makes it harder for the end user... and this makes it harder for the end user.

When you look at a blog that has a static first page and navigate deeper into...

yeah, its the twentyten theme that does it.

And the partial results (excerpt) show for those searching through the categories, tags, and even archives.

I recently started a new WP blog (3.0.3) and came across a rather content killing feature.... they only show excerpts of your content when clicking through Categories, Tags, and even the Archive....

I plan on working on a movie review blog and need a site/domain that is already off the ground (Content, SERP, PR, what have you) rather then simply starting from scratch.

My budget is rather low,...

I fear for the worst...

The price alone is rather a bit in the ass if ya ask me. Yes, yes, the 4.0 license if kept for more then a year ends up being cheaper, but sooooo what? vB5 is coming out...

Well, it's a merger not a sale...

Internet Brands announcement

When vB sold out to Internet Brands, the forum when to crap. They bloated it, upped the prices (and yes, there was a HUGE price...

I'm honored!

I would have posted that stuff regardless, but having the motivation certainly helped to get all of them off straight away!

Expect more from me in the future as time allows... and...

Any clue what mod that is? I plan on tweaking out my forum soon and that would certainly be a plus for my members.

(and thanks for pointing it out, I didn't notice that before)

With all this talk about long tails & hurting the little guys... what are the chances that we can expect to see some MAJOR tweakage in the search algorithms over the next several months to help...

I look at my keyboard when I type most of the time.... so had I not seen these threads about it, it could have been days before I noticed the change, lol.

Do ya think people are going to start promoting half keywords?

There is a HUGE market for WEBMASTER sites, but would focusing on WEBMA help out anyone?

I certainly hope not... but it's got me...

That is one hundred and twenty percent bad news! I really do not mind waiting the time it takes to hit the button that reads [google search] so long as I can still click on the [i'm feeling lucky]...

I tried searching for the original, but on all the sites I can find this article posted (some as far back as 08!), I can't seem to find the one that actually links to the examples.

Any clue?

WOW... that is like the exact reverse as seen on my forum!

I like usergroup colors personally, it helps things to stand out a bit more. Especially for staff (mods/admin, etc)
