Since ancient times, there has been a saying in China that we should learn from others' successful experiences and learn from them. Who to refer to and how to refer to this requires a standard. With a rough judgment standard, it is easier to summarize and learn.
In the past two days, I have been sorting out the ranking of the top 100 Chinese forums organized by ifeng.com. The A5 forum bbs.admin5.com has received support from many users and ranked 48th. Although this score is not absolute, it at least represents a standard and shows members' support and love for the forum. Ranking is a changing judgment standard. It can indirectly see the development of the entire industry, and also see which opponents are more worth learning from.
Participating in the selection activities reflects the certain strength of the participants.
No matter what the selection activity is, there are certain reference standards. Being able to participate in a selection activity with many portals reflects a certain degree of strength. In this selection of the top 100 Chinese forums, we can see the names of many well-known forums, and their rankings are very high, such as Tianya, Maopu, Sohu and other forums, and there are also some unfamiliar forums, such as the Hefang.com forum , Qintai Forum, Pokémon BBS, etc. If you are not a user of these websites, you may rarely come into contact with them, but placed among many well-known forums, we also believe in their strength and subconsciously think that these forums are also good at Very powerful.
At the beginning of this selection activity, the author made a suggestion to participate in more similar activities. If your website is still not famous enough, you should make more use of the reputation of other well-known forums to attract the website and get close to the best. Red, invisible also reflects the strength of your website.
Participating in the selection activities reflects a certain user base.
Many websites do not exist independently. They must have their own user groups. When each website participates in a certain selection activity, it will encourage users to support the activity and allow more users to vote. The number of votes received by each forum participating in the selection is directly proportional to user support. The more people who support, the higher the number of votes. For example, the 19th Floor Forum ranked 24th and the Xiamen Xiaoyu Community ranked 57th. Official data shows that 19th Floor has 5 million registered users and Xiamen Xiaoyu has 430,000 registered users. This disparity in numbers also reflects in the forum rankings. Of course, just the number of registered members does not reflect the level of the forum, it is only an indirect standard.
When a forum participates in a certain selection activity, users will generally actively support it. Judging from the number of votes for support, we can roughly see the popularity of a forum and the support of users. This data is not very accurate, but it is Certain reference value. A website's participation in a certain selection activity is also a test of a forum's user base, which can provide a rough estimate of a forum's "hardcore" users.
Participating in selection activities is also an indirect way of promotion.
Each website participating in the selection will receive a free promotion opportunity. Strong promotion by event organizers, reprints by participants, reports by relevant media, etc. As long as the forum participates in the event, it will definitely receive exposure and promotion in many aspects. These are all indirect promotion opportunities. A website will not see a surge in traffic or rankings just because it participates in one activity, but if it participates in more activities, the website's visibility will increase, and its traffic and rankings will also improve.
The selection of the top 100 Chinese forums has ended. Some websites have missed this opportunity. However, there will be more website selection activities in various aspects in the future. Seize the opportunity then and don't miss it again.
