Web browser search engines is how ya get traffic to ya site... I can type Ol\' Arky in and I can be found that way... Same goes for cnelk... BUT if ya don\'t know the forum BackTrak Outdoors or Elk Mentors how do ya find it... Most new elk hunters and veteran elk hunters most likely type elk or elk hunting... I\'ve tried both those searches and neither BackTrak Outdoods non Elk Mentors shows up on the 1st page... I figure if ya find a way to get tied into most major search engines ya will see a increase in traffic... But ya will also see a new wave of spammers too... It\'s only a matter of time before the spammers find this forum... It\'s all in what ya want to do increase membership...

I wish I\'d know ya were around before the ol\' ElkCamp.com forum was shut down for some other form of communication :? :? ... I could a sent a lot more folks ya way if that was what ya wanted... :wave: :wave:

I think that\'s actually one of the good things about links on Social Media. If someone sees a headline \"great information about tree stand hunting\"...chances are, they will only bother to click that link if they are interested in tree stand hunting.

It brings the \"target market\" to the site, and there is less chance of spammers getting to the site by \"robocrawling\".

Around 90 percent of web traffic gets to my website through direct links on Facebook and Hunting Forums, which is the way I like it. I know that I\'m getting hunters on my site.

What happen to the number of users online and total number of users that used to be at the bottom of the main page of the forum????

I think that went away with the upgrade :think:

For those that want, you can past a link - <!-- m --><a class=\"postlink\" href=\"http://www.elkmentorsforum.com/\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href);return false;\">http://www.elkmentorsforum.com/</a><!-- m --> - to their FB page for their hunting friends to see.

SEO(Search Engine Optimization) is one of our targets. If I type in Elk Mentors into google, I get elk mentors listed first. Since BackTrak Outdoors is so new it will take a while for google to catch up.

The best thing about this forum is that we have so many smart hunters that are willing to share. Do I beleive everything I hear, NO! It\'s up to the invidual reader to decide what they truely believe. This forum will never filter information...no matter who it\'s from or about. We\'ll, we might need to filter what Swede says! Just kidding John!

Seriously, how can one make a true judgment unless every side is explained? Personal attacks are not permitted as well as vulgar/inappropriate material. But other than that, it\'s an open forum. Please, be free thinking. Think outside the box and if something you\'ve been taught in the past just doesn\'t work or make sense, ask here.

Keep the information flowing and we will continue to improve.

Don\'t forget, this is everyones forum.

Yeah, we\'d have to get a LOT bigger for that to happen! I have some first page results on \"elk decoys\" or \"pronghorn decoys\"...but it has taken quite a few years, and a lot of networking to accomplish that.

Google is \"smart\" enough to weed out sites that try to \"shortcut\" rankings. It\'s all about traffic...whatever gets the most wins. :upthumb:

I don\'t know allot about what you guys have been talking about here but it got me wounding something. As Jeff said its all about traffic. I have this sight saved so I don\'t have to search each time to get here. Would it help at all if we did the web search when we go to log in to get more traffic? I log in a few times a day.
