Doc4PC2 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hi, For admin, site owner, moderators, opinions. My site averages over 5.2 million hits a month, every month, and growing, and I thought I would put The Shrimp Spot banner on one of my websites. I can't put it on the home page, but I can put in on a page that is third most traffic page of the site. But.....the subject matter is not even close. My network is all about electronic cigarettes. I don't sell any, but we do reviews, how to information, videos, photography, Top 10 lists, Top 10 sites, huge giveaways, and tons of information on everything that has to do with ecigs. So, I wanted to ask before I put the banner up. I would put it on the sites page with the banner and a short write up next to the banner and the link. But, because the subjects are so different, One, I have no idea if it will do the forum any good, although, it is a good back link to have because I am on top in all of the search engines when it comes to ecigs. Two, I don't want to do anything without approval, as I only want to help the forum. But, It would put the banner in front of a lot of traffic, although they are there for a different reason. Since ecigs are just water vapor, no smell, no fire, no ash, no residue, the vapor dissipates faster than steam, and ecigs are way healthier than smoking, it would be good for aquatic owners to be vaping ecigs, rather than smoking. The technology is really good now, and improving every day. So, if the owner, admin, moderators, and others will post their opinion, and let me know if I should put up the banner and a small write up on my site, that would be great. You can be " For or Against it". Plus, our social network pages, subscribers, YouTube subscribers, Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Live Vape TV shows, and ecig forum pages have a lot of people signed up with us, and connected with us too, so even though it is two different things entirely, a lot of people would see it, and maybe even get some people posting, chatting, and talking about The Shrimp Spot Forum. So, Yes, or No? Thanks, Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Anyone else have any thoughts on this? I don't see any problem but I wanted to hear some others weigh in as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Seems like people who have hobbies come from all walks of life. I say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'd say go for it, can't hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4PC2 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Okay, that is three for Yes, but I was kinda hoping for more than that, and who ever owns the forum, I would want a okay from for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pika Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 No objection from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wicca32 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 i dont mind one bit so if mods and admin dont mind i dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I agree, any way to get the forum out there and in a high traffic area on the web, I say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4n Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Ya I dont see a problem with it at all either. Might be off your website subject but everyone has more then one hobby whats your website btw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4PC2 Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Okay, as soon as I get some time I will put it up at my site which is http://TheEcigStop.com and I will put it on the sites pages at: http://TheEcigStop.com/sites.html So, I can put a short write up by the banner, or if admin wants something particular written, let me know, and I can put that besides the banner. You can see what the page is like and how wordy I get with each site. Cool, and I hope it will help. Like I said, last month, we hit 5.2 million hits for the month, and it looks like we will break that mark and hit 6 million this month.

Doc4PC2 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Okay, the Banner is up and so is the write up at: http://TheEcigStop.com/sites.html I even put it 5th one down, so a good spot that my ecig companies would love to have, and pay for to get it. Check it out, and admin, if you don't like what I had to say, then write something up for me and I can change the text for you. Either way it is a very good back link for you to have, and in a very high traffic page, and will help you climb higher in the search engines and directories. Now, if we get anyone coming and signing up because it is there, I don't know. Only you will know if you keep track of where your traffic is coming from. The subjects are really different, but there may be lots of aquatic people out there that use ecigs too, so we will see. Either way, it is good thing and can't hurt.

Triton Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I asked another forum if I could post this in their other sites subforum but was told that no "for profit" sites could be posted there.... sorry but in no way do I feel this is a for-profit site I'm still looking for ways to spread the word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I don't feel it is for-profit either. I know Jake at planted tank banned me for a week or two for posting it earlier (no warning or anything). Of course I have seen many others post actual for-profit sites or facebook pages without problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I pm'd one of the mods to ask if I could and was told no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I think TPT is concerned about other members finding out about other shrimp forums and possibly leaving, but I could be wrong. *shrugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pika Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Haha, I totally didn't know about any of this inter-forum drama when I responded in a thread on TPT looking for other shrimp forums... Luckily, I'm such a newbie I think they just ignored me. Oops. Someone else set it up with a question, though! ETA: I didn't post an actual link either, so maybe that matters.

Triton Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Eh just a few people had issues with some of the staff, still a decent forum. But I think we all had our own reasons, I know personally mine had nothing to do with anyone else. But such is life. I am happy to try to spread the word, have been working on a few ideas that il probably be running past will soon for his thoughts ctaylor3737 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
