    Just Ordered vBSEO with Install

    My site is brand-new and has only 16 members, (two of which are me and 13 are personal friends...).

    So, with only one real honest-to-goodness member who actually found the place, it'll be very interesting to see how vBSEO works for me after it's been installed by the vBSEO staff.

    The site is a informational web for anyone interested in St. Augustine, Florida. St. Augustine has less than 20K residents, but many, many times that in visitors each year. I'm trying to make my site the place to go for up to date information on what to do and what to see in St. Augustine, and provide a place for the people who live here to chat and talk local subjects.

    I'll be offering local advertising at very reasonable rates later, but first, there has to be a reason for someone to want to advertise on my site. Someone has to be there to see the ads!

    vBSEO, let's see your stuff!

    If anyone would like to watch it grow, here's the link:

    Good luck with the site, i'm sure in time it will do well and vBSEO will help along the way with that. It has helped my site based on a similar thing for my local town - www.burnleyweb.com

    Very good Neal. Is that vBadvanced Dynamics you're using for your home page? I've thought about incorporating that into my site, but I have to talk to someone who has used it first.

    Well, the vBSEO folks have just finished installing the software for me. It was a comedy of errors. First, I'm not a techie. I know databases. That's it. That's what I'm good at. The directory structure of my webhost is alien to me. I had no idea what to do to install this thing and didn't even set up the ftp for them correctly. I finally had my webhost provide the ftp information and setup for me. Then, when I setup the admin privs for the vBSEO tech, somehow, after I entered the password for it, the password wasn't there. Emails back and forth, confusion, anger (me), frustration (them), and FINALLY after a whole day of back and forth, it's installed!

    Holy Crap! What a day!

    Mert Gökçeimam, you have the patience of a Saint!

    Now, let's see what this puppy will do!

    I'm going to do some local advertising as well. Radio, newspaper and I'm having some T-shirts made as give-a-ways to local friends.

    I'm going to offer 3 months of free banner ads to any local business.

    This is a push...hehe, maybe a shove...

    Glad to hear that you are now installed, despite a few hiccups.

    Sounds like you will be very proactive in your marketing. Let us know if you get solid results from your offline strategies.

    Apologies for the delay. I'm using vBAdvanced CMS and it's a great product, and costs...nothing!:

    the counts will obviously differ based on how many and what quality of posts there are on the site in the first place.

    Visitors can still link back to your site without ever posting. Your forum will grow over time as you convert new members who will eventually start posting. Try to think of ways to get them to do that. Create sub-forums that are of particular interest. Pose interesting new threads that awake people's desire to express themselves. You can do it. And as that new content is created, vBSEO is there to optimize it in real time.
