Finishing Things Up

[kompressaur]

alternatively slick i notice we still have vbadvanced installed. this could maybe do the job IF it has all the seo urls, nice informative presentation and also a recipirocal link checker

vBadvanced.Links.Directory

Also theres that review thing earlier. I know it aint an ideal time for you slick but if your about and you want to take your mind off things then your welcome to spend an hour with me on this thread and we'll get some thigs cleared up as im running round in circles a bit especially as i have no admin powers

[kompressaur]

so back to the list for some order..

1. I cant get into admin

2. as per 1

3. Maybe i could get started on that again and take it from mediocrity to being ok

4. No admin and i dont want to install anything esecially if it intergrates with the forum

5. my well documented failures on this is there for all to see and ive wasted 2 weeks of my life on this

6. sod them they can wait but i'll chase up the poker ones

7. Translation tool as per no4

8. moderator permissions. No admin

I cant even apply any of them vb hacks. Looks like its just frontpage for me. What do we have a frontpage for again? Oh aye to try and get hits and to make up more complete etc. Also its to link to things about the site but sadly all our links are on a joomla instal that i think im still waiting on a chown slick. All that seems a million miles away. Actually slick i think i'll be needing more than an hour of your time.

Oi Mick can i have your admin login seeing as you dont need it?

[kompressaur]

right your all gonna laugh at me here but can we use this?

I know it isnt what you would expect to see but we could 'gambleise' it and it would encourage people to tell their friends about us. well maybe. I'll leave it for now as its hardly essential.

[kompressaur]

Right seeing as ive been demotted to being the frontpage dog i might as well do the job right. lets go get some tips for wordpress and sites in general

Use category names that are good keywords

k so i will make all the categories keywords then. What categories do we have.....dont matter as we're for some new ones. Right so we're a BETTING FORUM so we need cats like-

arbitrage sports betting
betting forum
betting forums
betting on sports
football betting
football betting forum
football betting tips
football sports betting
gambling forum

horse racing forum
horse racing forums
internet sports gambling
online gambling forum

sports betting guide
sports betting odds
sports betting software
sports betting system
sports betting tips

sports gambling forum
sports spread betting
spread betting forum
tennis betting forum
uk betting forum
uk horse racing forum

I will go add them for starters. Then i will get the forums to populate out the categories (more than one category per post) with posts. Then we'll look at individual things like 'football betting' etc in more detail. In time we could look at presentation more but for now the links can just be on frontpage

[kompressaur]

actually im just thinking we cant have all the categories as im sure we'll get done with not having unique content. maybe i ...bah. ok lets play it by the rule book then. a category per forum. British football betting forum will be ....uk football betting etc etc right ill crack on and do one per forum.

bah im all frustrated now. I'll go get on

[kompressaur]

Champions League betting forum. From the champions league draw to champions league results. You'll always know the champions league score for your champions league soccer at The Daily Punt Betting Forum!

[kompressaur]

right before i finish them i need to know about domain names and their effectivness.

Hyperlinks are the workhorses of the Web. Site visitors use links to jump between sections of the same page and move from page to page or even site to site. Search engines also use links to index and rank pages. Every link on your site represents an easy opportunity to boost your search engine rank.

MORE HERE

ok so lets read on...

Scrutinize the content of your site's text links. Have you fallen prey to the "Click Here" linking strategy?

maybe. k so what its saying is make 'click here' more like...well keywords. 'football tips' Maybe we could implement that a bit. I'll be doing it from now on and i'm sorry i might be a bit annoying. Nah i got it didnt i? I know what we do. We use the hotlink thingy for keyword hotlinks. I still dont know why we need these links as i cant see how links going out, unless they are linking to pages within tdp, can help us but i'll do it by the book.

If the site is targeting the phrase "ice cream" or "homemade ice cream", the first example promotes those phrases much more effectively because it uses them inside the link's text.

ah hah i see. Someone types 'football betting' and something like-

Goodbye - Aother Time another Place
http;///thedailypunt,com/kjfddsk;jdsfkljdlgjsdflkgsjfkljgklr
...well just to say goodbye. My football betting has taken a tumble and i...
Cache results etc etc

So we need to find the best keywords things like weekend football coupon (where am i linking that too? ah i could make up a page about 'weekend football coupon')

get keywords
make up pages for those keywords
add keywords to hotlinks
google here we come

I wont go daft folks. actually we'll get a good list together and take it from there


Weekend Football Coupon
Football Coupon
Scottish Football Tips
............Football Tips (etc)

as you can see they wont turn up in general usage unless someone types something like 'whey hey i love my football coupon!'. We would need to add things like Serie A Betting but again you wont be saying things like that. this is gonna me immense i reckon.

Im already using title attributes (actally i am on frontpage but not in the forum. This will be solved as our hotlinker thats sat there just being a tool to direct people to bookmakers isnt being utilised. you can add descriptions to the hotlinks) The ALT picture tag can be sorted with when folks add a picture via the image link they can add a alt text) anyhow as you can see im starting to gibber here. I'll go crack on but if you can think of any keywords we could/should use then tell me.

I was thinking of making these link lead to some kind of tDP Wikipedia (i quite like tDP as you can see) but i suppose it would be better for it to link to things on the root of the site. Right so its's keywords. I suppose using the ones we already have might be a place to start.

this helps

[kompressaur]

bollocks i cant get rid of the pop ups full stop now. Again i will need to wait on slick. He really is our tech man. still the idea is in place and i will get the job done. Just waiting on my admin powers returning which Mickey is on the case of and i can crack on. aye i think in 4 weeks we will be about done.

[kompressaur]

right got my admin powers back (thanks Mickey) now its back to posts 4 and 5 of this thread. Gonna grab a coffee as im tired and havent stopped all day but there is a lot to be done

Ban Users From a Thread - vBulletin.org Forum

superb infact







Just need a ban user from a forum now

[kompressaur]

Right we're we up to? Are you going to help me clear this list Mick? Most of it is waiting on slick but im crcking on. Just took a brief resbite there and done a bit of spamming. Hopefully get a few europeans in this weekend. Mick you got any idea about how our hotlinking works? I cant get it back to the way it is. Looks like its taking the links from ..well i dunno. Im tempted to reinstall it but i dont want to lose our links. We need to look at this keyword hotlinking though as its pretty exciting. Aye things are starting to come together. then i might confound a few folks and startt getting TDP busy. you'd be a fool not to think that TDP will be the busiest UK based betting forum in the net in 6 month. Now its promotion gonna get my attention and my manicness. somethign we have never done.

[kompressaur]

Right forum post icons will be forum for forum now. Im gonna be a sad bastard and go and get all the icons we need. aye it might be three hours of my life down the pan but still its just another job done.
