As a forum webmaster, I have seen many other forum webmasters lament that the forum's SEO is not good, the forum's IP is not good, and the forum is not good. Go and take the door. In fact, a forum can be done well and turn over well. Although I do not run a public welfare forum to make money, I also want to say that for those webmasters who hope to make money from the forum, this is by no means difficult.
1. The fundamental foundation of a good forum is the conception of the content. A friend once asked me how to build a large medical forum. I said at the time that this was impossible. Why? You, a personal webmaster, want to play in the entire medical category, but you don’t have the energy at all. If you build this website, you will definitely give up halfway. Therefore, the positioning of the forum needs to be specialized and precise. At the same time, the webmaster must be familiar with what you are doing. It is a prerequisite to know enough about the content of the website you operate. For example, you can search on "Aerial English Classroom Forum" on Baidu. This is one of my forums. You may not know what an Aerial English Classroom is at all. You may think how many people visit this forum every day? I I can tell you that this forum can have over a thousand IP addresses every day, so I say that the scope of the forum must not be too large, and the best way to do it is to be precise. Moreover, when the forum you build is detailed in a certain aspect, your customers will be highly targeted and you will accumulate target customers, making it very easy to do e-commerce in the future.
2. After making a good idea, the website is established. For the establishment of the website, it is best to have a high-quality server. If you want to build a good website, buy a better one from the beginning. Don’t buy a 180-year-old one. It will not have enough traffic after a few days. . Changing servers will have some impact on the weight of the website. When establishing a forum, the initial task is to build content. Only by enriching the content can customers be retained. So don’t consider traffic in the early stage, just add content. However, be aware that SEO issues must be taken into consideration when adding content. , the SEO of the forum is very special, and for the optimization of the forum, Google is very good at optimizing. There are many secrets in it. I will post a separate SEO post to give you some direction. If you want to discuss in depth, you can also add me at QQ: 651121588. I am an absolute lover of SEO and focus on technical optimization. The construction and enrichment of forum content is the second step.
3. The third step is to promote the forum. This stage is relatively long. You may need to accumulate several months to get hundreds of traffic, but if you persevere, the road ahead will be very easy. There are many promotion methods, such as QQ, group messaging, etc. The traffic brought by search engines and forum traffic are different from those of portals. The source of forum traffic is from repeat customers. Therefore, if you want to do a good job in the forum, you must make the content very good. Otherwise, you will not be able to retain customers, and you will not have enough traffic. How much better would it be. The way to check whether your content is attractive enough is to look at your PV. If the ratio of IP to PV is 1:10 (above 10), then this forum will have value.
4. After accumulating early popularity and content, we can consider a stable way to maintain funds. If your traffic is large, that is to say, if you are a popular topic forum, then advertising will definitely be the main source of income. A traffic of 10,000 IPs will be the main source of income. Daily advertising will bring in 80-100 yuan in income. As long as you continue to create themes, create content, and promote well, you will not worry about running out of money. But if you are producing low-profile content, the advertising fee will be very small, because your IP is too few, and you can only have a few thousand at most. A dozen yuan a day in advertising fee is too much, so you might as well introduce some points system. , and then implement the exchange of points and RMB. If your stuff is good enough, someone will be willing to buy it. This does not guarantee how much income you will have. Just like my forum, there are not many IPs every day, but it is still enough to maintain. As for you giving money. Slowly, I believe you will also make some gains.
5. Based on the above process, it is a common direction for the development of different forums. The establishment of a forum is more difficult and maintenance is more time-consuming than a portal, because the forum is too interactive. However, if you can do a good job in the forum, the portal will be very easy. Did it. Remember, the last thing you need to make clear when building a forum is that you are not creating the forum yourself, but members will build it with you in the later stages. Therefore, to make a good forum, you need to exercise your careful thinking and organizational skills.
I once wrote about some forum SEO skills, and many people added me on QQ to ask me to write more about related issues. Since I had too much work in the early stage and no time, I took the time this week to write something about forum SEO for everyone. After all, it is impossible to generate traffic for a forum without SEO. Nowadays, there are very few people who can do forum SEO, so we still have an obligation to popularize this knowledge to everyone.
