tutorial forum posting advice

[uaecasher]

hello,

I'm starting a tutorial forum and I have a lot of topics to give tutorials about so i want your advice for the best way to post it

for example:

Is it better to have a section for tuts and section for question?

lets say i will make tuts about drawing programs is it better to put tuts in one thread or make different thread depending on program/tut #

and so on..

I need your advice from SEO side of view as well as forum management side of view

thank you

Each tutorial should certainly have it's own thread. For the example of drawing packages, you should post each drawing software program in a separate tutorial, each with its own thread.

hmm what about:

section: drawing packages

forum: photoshop

thread: how to use magic selection

another thread: how to paint etc...

hmm but i have a lot of software tut perhaps use:

section: tutorials/reviews

forum: drawing softwares

sub-forums: photoshop, coreldraw, Autocad etc...

forum: IDE

sub-forums: dreamweaver, textmate etc...

which one will be better?

--- Graphics
---- Photoshop
----- THREADS
---- Fireworks
----- THREADS
--- Video
---- Premier
----- THREADS

etc

thanks for advice this is what i was thinking of too

I would have that forum be ONLY tutorials.
if you want reviews, make a new root-level reviews forum.
