Work at Home Forum is for sale!

As with everything on the internet, it is in constant flux and with Google attacks in last few years which has hurt many sites and the battle with SEO to keep your sites on top of organic search engines, it is a full time plus job to keep on top of search results and each time Google makes a change, the effort compounds to an almost impossible task, so I can understand why someone would want to sell.

The future is never an absolute, so who knows what will happen with forums like this in search engine results. As we all know, if you don't come up in top organic search results for specific targeted key words, you are lost and traffic will plunge. I too have seen this trend hit my websites, and as frustrating as it is to see your traffic plunge, it runs in cycles as I have learned. Been on top of Goolge for years, knocked off by penquin and panda, but was able to recover top position with weeks of SEO work, so I feel your frustrations.

I wish you well, and if I had more time would consider owning another forum. Had one going strong a decade ago and let it go as it was just too much of a drain on time management. This was back when Google ads worked well, but like all things on the internet, it too died as more and more people will not click on paid to click ads knowing most are nothing more than fly by night get rich quick ads. Most experienced internet users will only click on organic search results now, and if not, everyone soon will. Once revenues drop, obviously it forces a decision, so hopefulle someone who have been here for a long time can appreciate the quality of members here.

Success to all,

 

Good news! Google was stuck at 37,200 index entries for 6 months until you fixed it.
In the two weeks since the sitemap was fixed it has risen by 200 entries to 37,400.
It also has updated the latest posts to reflect recent activity instead of looking dead.
Funny how such a little thing can make a huge difference in search engine ranking.
Now that Google and Bing know it's alive & well,
WAHF could shoot back up to the Top 20(k).

 

Yes, I discovered the same thing when working SEO, you can't overlook anything, especially the obvious. Also, never shut down a thread, just one post can boost it in organic search results all over again, never mind the ones that are already ranking for specific key words, keep all threads open, there is no reason to shut them down, they will live or die on their own.

Success to all,

 

Sorry to hear that you are selling. This is a very nice forum, hopefully the new owners will take good care of it.

 

Wow, I just came back to the forum and discovered this thread. Glad that you've found a new path, though, Vishal.

 

I have not been around for more than a few months due to personal issues with family. I am so sad to see that Vishal is selling this forum. I participate in a few forums and this one has always been my favorite. People also get along much better here than on some forums. Best of luck to you, Vishal in whatever you do.

 

You got to it before I did Anna....I wanted to know how goes the sale anyway? I will miss Vishal as well...this is one of the first forums I joined when I first became interested in marketing and working from home...I only come around periodically but still will miss Vishal's posts on a future go round...

 

Vishal,

A lot of us here think this is awesome.


I've been here for about 8 years and this is still a great forum! So many other forums have come and gone.

 

I hoping this will stay open for a while, sorry didn't post before.
