How about having www.indiabroadband.net community in orkut/facebook/myspace...

Its become a trend now a days having a community in the social networking sites...

Preeti_20 · 12-25-08, 05:13 PM

Good one ramesh, its a brilliant idea to start off with, as it wont even require any funds!

I think we should start the community asap on all the social networking sites!

Would have given you a repo but cant, as i need to spread some repo around!

Rameshjeee · 12-25-08, 05:33 PM

Once we have a community in the social networking sites,I hope that people will visit the forum regularly & not just stay to the community....This thing have to be taken care...

Preeti_20 · 12-25-08, 05:43 PM

thats true, we can maybe send invited to join the forum, and keep the forum updated and when the contests start again post it on the community section!

If its too cold just wear a Full sleeve inside and IBF's Half sleeve outside ... It l keep you warm , its fashionable and will also make you into a walking Billboard

So, they naturally like the concept of this forum...

You mean like Kingfisher's Calender

JK

imo its a good idea ... it should be wall calendars , otherwise ppl may just chuck it [pocket calenders]

Another idea would be to design a proper Logo , graphic image , slogan for our website , and this can also included as our new year contest !

And the winner's logo can be made available on the website so that we can print it out on T-shirts as well...

Excellent idea !

Admin if i may suggest we should start designing a Logo first for IBF ! ..... it ll make the forum more professional ..... People recognize visual logos better than names right !

Will it be ok to embed you tube video tutorials for solutions which are complex or already solved ? It will be more appealing to users and very straight forward.

But ofcourse the problem of moderating the content is the biggest drawback. What do you ppl think abt this..

Adminji please give your views on the posts in this thread. IMO some of the ideas are really good, please tell us wat u think.

Admin · 12-29-08, 11:41 AM

I am spending a lot of money on marketing these days as some of you who are webmasters yourself must have noticed.
Our traffic is increasing every week as you can see from the alexa graph

We are adding more then 100 new members every day ... its a different story that only about .5% of them would ever make their first post here but thats how forums are.

People in India are still not familiar with forums as its only been 3-4 years since forums really started picking up.

The t-shirt idea is good but it does not yield the kind of results we would need to get a push on the net.

We can still get t-shirts printed to be sent over for regular members in the near future ( may be within the next two months)

Give it another 2-3 weeks and see how that traffic graph goes up

Sorry that image wont show up

here is the url : indiabroadband.net - Traffic Details from Alexa

Click on max tab on that graph to see how we performed during the whole year.

itsmemad · 12-29-08, 11:54 AM

wow.. the graph is on rise since the time I joined...

But I think Admin need to market it to keep the momentum strong...

12-29-08, 12:13 PM

I agree with maddy, maybe we need more marketing.

Also maybe its due to holiday season , we could expect more traffic after the new yr.

As such the page views have increased over last 3 months by 20% which is great. I expect it will increase after the new year holidays.

more marketing

already SEO campaigning is on with full Boom which will make indiabroadband.net a big place in few days, trust me friends we all are part a great forum which is going to be the best one very soon

itsmemad · 12-31-08, 05:18 PM

I meant advertisements(on other sites as well as print media)! SEO score of forum is already quite good...

Good idea, because every popular brand or company or website in this case has a logo, and it becomes a trademark and like you said make the forum more professional and recognizable!

But one thing i want to ask people, if there would be t shirts would anyone wear them, or this just something which will sit in cupboards?

@ newprouser you embedding idea is good!

I don't have a problem... During my promotion days for Marlboro, I used to wear their T-shirts... And they were really kool & of good quality...

Wot about u?

This's the actual reason why i proposed that, we have a contest to design a logo,graphics and slogan etc.

All the participants's material will be available here , using which, anybody IF willing can print out their T-Shirts with the design they liked the most.

However I dunno how many people will be willing to spend for it... but I am sure it would be way too costly for Admin to do it alone.

Thanks

I was expecting a response from admin too.

Preeti_20 · 01-01-09, 01:17 AM

i dont think it would be a good idea for members to get their own t shirts, i think they should be either given in the contest or members who reach a certain number of posts!

If ur talking about shirts being given for free by admin , then what u say is correct.

But IF some member wants to use the design on their T-shirt ( @ their own cost) why not ? Isn't it free publicity ?
