Advertising?

[Idiot #1]

Do
E-mail Blast
Private Message
Then make a Sticky Announcement

email blast= annoying and probably a deterrent.
Pm blast=good idea. did this before bit like Omni said we are more developed.
Sticky=this has already been done.

The referral contest sounds like a good idea too.

......but I'd like to see us rank higher for more keywords......

Is there anything that we can do to help with that?

I'm not sure about how this works.

[RPicard]

I really don't think that emails are annoying. It's not like each person gets mass amounts of email lol.

[WeeZy]

I wouldn't mind one email. Just don't spam it a load.

I would start affilating banner ads. I don't think PM blasts will do much good. The best of HF is already here. :/

[Omniscient]

One thing to note is that HF gets 350 new members per day. So in the 7 weeks we have added about 15,000 new members.

[Grizzly]

Yeah, a PM blast would be fine. Because, as you've said, HF gets a ton of new members daily. And 15k perspective new members is better than not doing anything about it at all and not getting any.

Hey just a thought. I say that no matter how anoyying it is or how many un useful members we get in I started as a hackforums jerk and im starting to like the clean bright feeling. We have an influential population that spreads fast. I say you do everyones ideas and if some people dont like it then so be it its only takes fifteen seconds to delete an amail or private message. Also I know this is unprbable but you could make an advertisement and have a donation thing on the website for people to donate to go to the advertising fund.

Didn't take that into account. How many stay long enough to check there pms now though?

Most people just sign up to get one thing they want, then are inactive.
