I have been working in the Internet industry for more than three years. Not to mention countless websites I have read, I must have viewed less than 5,000 websites. A few days ago, I met a colleague whom I hadn’t seen for a long time. After a long meal, I talked about my lofty ideals. After working for N years and achieving nothing, the two of them decided to start a local portal website under the catalysis of alcohol. I heard that it is easier to make money through local portals now. .
I have a good moral character: I read posts but don’t reply (authors I’ve read don’t slap me), and I read soft articles but don’t write soft articles. But this time I discovered that the entire site of the local portal uses the phpwind forum to structure it, which feels very good. Convenience is very suitable for those of us who have lofty ideals but lack advanced technology and resources. So I break the rules and share it with you. Of course, I still hope that you can provide me with some opinions and suggestions.
After passing the important decision, I went home that night and searched many local portals, such as: 19th Floor, Yuyao Life Network..., and went straight to the topic. The local portal I found this time was: http://www .xc.zj.cn/ Xinchang Information Lane. The whole site of this local portal uses the pw forum system, and does not use third-party CMS or self-developed information systems. (Through the WEB Information Museum, I found that this site also used the CMS system to structure the portal. Could it be that pw also switched from CMS to the forum? Conversion program? I only know that pw provides a forum conversion program that can easily convert from Discuzl).
The style and interface are also well matched, and it feels very refreshing. I don't know if there are other local portals that also use this forum system. After looking at this website, I found that the number of visits to the platform is quite large, with more than 2,000 people online at the same time. The profit margin is also very good, and the local advertisements are also sold very well. I think it should be quite profitable, HOHO.
What attracts me to this model of local portal:
1. This is a forum, because we also plan to set up a forum first (it seems that most local websites start from forums)
2. Its advertising space is very random: I heard that it can be displayed wherever you want, just like the portal. PW's forum backend has this function.
3. Point cards in the forum can also be sold for money. This webmaster is really good and even helped us figure out the profit model.
phpwind has had a portal mode and SNS mode since version 7.0. Can the triple functions of portal, forum, and SNS be realized by installing the phpwind forum? I hope webmasters who use phpwind can discuss it.
