SEOMODZ Forum Review

The following is a review and is completely of my own opinion and is not influenced in any way. If you’re interested in having me review your site or product, please view my advertising page.

Today’s review is for the winner of the BzImage.org website of the month award, as soon as SEOMODZ was submitted into the contest I got excited because I have seen and used the forum before. It is a valuable growing resource that could someday take the top spot for an seo forum.

While it currently lacks traffic and a big member base it has some great topics and sections to talk with like minded SEO’s in. I am going to break down the forum and suggest a few ways it could improve to get more traffic, sell adverts better and hopefully out of that everyone will learn some better ways to market a forum (without further adieu lets get started).

- How To Get More Traffic SEOMODZ: Getting traffic is obviously vital if you ever want to gain a member base / readership or if you ever want to sell advertisements. Traffic simply put “generates income”, sure you may get a few sales here and there but all the big boys are getting steady constant traffic that allows them to sell the adverts for longer periods and customers tend to renew after the current contract is up.

Since we know that traffic is so vital to success via money and members its only natural to figure out ways of obtaining it and quickly at that. I have written multiple safe traffic marketing articles that everyone should read and see for themselves. Traffic is easy to get once you know some basic principles, one of which is having a good product / site to get return visitors.

I believe SEOMODZ has a great product in there forum, its design is simply awesome and it makes you want to sign up because its easy on the eyes and very organized for discussion.

- Sell More Ads SEOMODZ: Lets assume for a minute that SEOMODZ had a member base of around 2000 members and around 25K visitors per month generating around 150,00 page views. Most of us would be happy with those results (some already have the numbers) but to sell ads on a regular basis you will need to do more then just have decent traffic.

That’s right, having the traffic is simply not enough so to begin I want to emphasize how important it is to assemble a advertising page. Keep and eye out for a post from me later this week on the importance of it and how it can help your visitors / potential clients!

Another tip for SEOMODZ and the rest of my readers is to learn how to grab the attention with your current open advert spots. If you currently have any spots open to be purchased why sit around and wait for someone to contact you about buying it for the next month? Why not take the initiative and email some medium to small businesses or companies of your niche explaining you have a slot available on your blog at an affordable rate. Be sure to compliment there website and never be afraid to add the fact that you can design a banner for them if they don’t have one readily available.

With those two tips alone you should start making money right off the bat, but for those who want more just read the rest of my blog and especially the General Marketing section. I have countless articles on ways to improve your site to sell ads better! Its as simple as trying things out and eliminating the ones that don’t work out!

- Back To SEOMODZ: As I said earlier I believe SEOMODZ is looking great, they just need to make some moves to obtain more traffic and a bigger member base! I know they can do it and I can’t wait for the day when I can say see… I told you it was going to be big!
