Talking Join this forum you Guests!

There seem to be a lot of guests coming to the site and not registering. WHY NOT! It's a great site, and I think you should all join now.

I'm off to win my £15 anyway, I'm sure I can get 5 people to sign up and use the forum.

I've noticed a lot of the guests seem to be search engine spiders, while not actually useful as members, they should help this site get indexed on all the search engines. Which is definately a good thing, as it means more people will find this site.

I know everyone is desperate for this site to succeed, but it's not going to happen overnight. The best thing you can do is send people this way, just like in the competition. I'll be doing my bit, but I wont' be doing it for the money.

OK, £15 would be nice. :P

since most of the search engines use links now, why not post a few to other forums you use or other warwickshire based sites...

I've already written to about 50 odd sites asking if they'd be interested in a link exchange, I've had one or two successes. Especially Warwickshire county council, who've very generously put a permanent link to this site on theirs.

I'm pretty confident already, that when google updates it's index, this site should sit quite highly for searches for 'Warwickshire'. It's already on the first page for 'warwickshire online', which I'm very please about.

Sandman is right when he says patience is the key.

Thank you Kev, that's brilliant news.

We've had our first google ranking today, so hopefully that should bring in a little extra traffic too.

Hmm.. I had a very large website, it was mostly where learnt to write html using !Edit on my first computer which was a wee Acorn. The people that hosted it closed down so it isn't up anymore. I really ought to tidy it up, fix the links that are now broken for various reasons and add this one. It just might fit on my ISP site. Very much a case of food for thought and the mental processes are now ticking over on this one.

That would be brilliant if you did Shiz. Wow Acorn computers, what happened to them?

I still have my ZX Spectrum somewhere.

I don't have the A4000 anymore but the RISC OS - now running RO4 is alive and well. RISC OS is till around, some of us still using them though it is fair to say they do not enjoy the popularity they once had. I spod (chat) on a site that has RISC OS users who, like myself use Windows as well and those who have owned Acorn etc in the past so are familiar with them. Sadly my RISC OS browser cannot deal with badly written JavaScript and gets all paranoid producing an error with the mistake in it. Whereas Windows browsers don't appear to care about such minor details and merrily ignore the error ;-)

It's not members you need it's members who post and start new threads that you need. People join, read and don't comment. Surely you people must have some sort of comment on most of the threads on here.
