How to increase forum traffic

Postby Ibn Rushd » Sat Sep 28, 2013 9:53 pm

We are going to brainstorm ideas about how to increase traffic flow.

  • Make bookmarks of the banner at the top and leave them at bus stops, train stations, libraries.
  • Go to other well read news blogs/sites and post in the comments.
  • Go to regular Joe's blog in your language and post a link.



I was trying to make this a list, but that doesn't seem to work.
There is no Master but the Master, and QT-1 is his Prophet.

I think it would be a good idea to post links to this site on youtube video comments. Especially those dawa videos.

I think I will probably join some Islamic forums and tell them that my faith and consequently the faith of my family has been shaken after visiting this forum and I'll ask them to come here and refute the claims made here.

What do you think?

I registered with an Islamic forum once... I was banned after the first post because I posted that hadith about Aisha's dress, without making any kind of comment....

Like manfred said, most muslim websites/forums will just toss you out asap. I've heard from ygalg though, that umma.com seems more open, as he's been posting there for many years, same as another jew. I think if you come right out saying that your family's faith has been quashed, they will take that negatively.

It seems that your goal is to draw them out though. Sometimes it works, mostly it doesn't. They come and curse us all to hell, don't offer any arguments, and then leave.

I think for more European and American traffic, we should go to those other websites/blogs and post a link. I think it should be relevant to the topic at hand on their site though, don't go willy nilly posting a link. Or post a link to a translated article from our wiki. When I can get around to it, I plan to translate into Spanish. We already have French going strong, and now some more Middle Eastern langs.

Hey,

What websites/blogs do you suggest?

What is this wiki you mention?

I speak Spanish too.

Hablo Espanol, pero tengo teclado ingles. Si te hace falta algo, puedes contar conmigo.

Wiki Islam

I've looked at Desde Sefarad which doesn't seem to exist anymore. News sites include El Mundo, El País (this is the American site, there is a drop menu at the top to go to the Spain edition), BBC Mundo (I don't know how much traffic this gets).

That's all I can think of right now, and those 2 Spanish news sites are the big ones, like Le Monde in France.

No supe que alguíen habla español aquí. Creo que ambos podemos traducir más artículos a español para el wiki.

(Trans: I didn't know anyone spoke Spanish here. I believe that together we can translate more articles into Spanish for the Wiki.)

Me parece muy buena idea. La pagina wikiislam es muy buena, hay que darle mas publicidad.

Tambien podemos dejar enlaces a esta pagina o presentar articulos al los sitios ofiIciales de las cadenas de television espanolas (tele 5, tve, antena 3, la sexta,).

No dudes en contactar conmigo por mensaje privado.

I was trying to make this a list, but that doesn't seem to work.

This forum was very acive one time, but most people have moved on, I believe. I know I did. I am very active in a different forum, that has many topics, and one gets to debate on various topics including Islam also. Such a forum also would attract Muslims. I debate with Muslims there, and they are mad as hell with me, that I enjoy. Hardly any Muslim show up here now.

This site, though anti-Islam, used to have more topics that attracted a wide variety of people, and high traffic. I believe it got over-moderated since then, into the state of affairs that it is at right now. There is no easy fix.

Perhaps you are right that at one time a moderator was over enthusiastic with moderating Yohan, but that time is over. That moderator is no longer here. So....Come back, invite some friends, and make this forum healthy again.

Which moderator was this? I remember some hoopla last year about over moderation, but I don't remember all the details. I just tried to avoid those threads.

You can PM if you need.

about a year ago? I can't remember. A few month back there was a bit of a going on when I tried unsuccessfully to stop some in-fighting and re-direct the focus to Islam in general. It resulted in me being called a pointless old git and serious bastard who should leave the forum or get banned, and the person I managed to upset by telling him that personal arguments belong into PMs has not posted anything for a while.I know when there is a fight between members and you try to help, you usually get blamed. Still, I would always try to resolve such things as it is not helping to display such things.

If he wants to discuss Islam, great, I wish he would come back as he has a rather unique perspective, but if he just wants to cause internal arguments and set off one person against another, it is just as well he is taking a break.

No use crying over spilled milk Ibn Rushd. We have to look forwards, and not backwards.

I have just visited the German and Dutch forums. The German forum is, how shall we say, dead. :stretcher: The Dutch forum though is quite active, I was reading the headings through the translation of Chrome. It appears that they are well versed and discuss often Islam and the world today. They also have some extra headings that we don't have. Of course this is for a small country that is heavily affected by Islam today, while the English speaking world is not affected so much, and is spread out over a wide area.

Thank you Ibn Rushd. I try to do my best to keep the Dutch forum lively. I guess the secret is that we ( the members) at the Dutch forum are a team. Here at this forum we are not a team, and that is a pity.

I think we are a team but we are not doing any efforts to promote/market our forum. We have lot of good content here that can attract a lot of people here. The major thing that we are missing is presence at social networking sites like you tube, twitter and facebook. We need to do some contribution in that area.

To start with ,we need to challenge prominent muslim apologists on youtube and invite them to respond here. Muslim apologists usually will have a lot of people flocking to see their videos. Naturally excitement builds on when someone issues a challenge. I made an attempt to do youtube videos but did not carry it all the way. Preparing a video and contributing the content of the video takes hell lot of time. I used windows movie maker but it is not a powerful tool. There are lots of tools available but then I have to go through the headache of learning the new tool and then preparing the video. I cant dedicate that much of time.Atleast the task of preparing the video needs to be outsourced. Can someone from here vouch for preparing the video or does someone know anyone who can help us prepare the video?
Look around yourself and you'll find people with virtues are never required to demand respect since they automatically earn it. It is only those that are devoid of any virtues need to threaten and bully to gain respect. Needless to say that quran cannot be from God.

Exactly. They are very simple-minded. The use of logic is beyond them.

Their mindset comes from the pre-telecommunications era when they gave you a choice of converting or being beheaded. Gay boy Mo and his pimp allah never thought the Jews would invent the internet. They don't know how to deal with that.
The prophet of Islam was nothing more than a common criminal.

Please tell me if this is accurate:

“I have fabricated things against God and have imputed to Him words which He has not spoken.”
