    We don’t need search engines, we have del.icio.us!
       September 15th, 2006

    I adore del.icio.us. It is a simple and brilliant service that saves a lot of time and it is free.

    To tell the truth, I do not remember when I used Google or any other search engine for the last time – probably just to check ranking positions of my websites. In case I need information I can trust and find fast I go to del.icio.us and browse the website literally for hours discovering more and more fantastic resources, applications and services in miscellaneous industries.

    Some facts from the history:

    The website del.icio.us (pronounced as “delicious”) is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks. The site came online in late 2003 and was founded by Joshua Schachter, co-maintainer of Memepool.

    A non-hierarchical keyword categorization system is used on del.icio.us where users can tag each of their bookmarks with a number of freely chosen keywords (cf. folksonomy). A combined view of everyone’s bookmarks with a given tag is available; for instance, the URL “http://del.icio.us/tag/wiki” displays all of the most recent links tagged “wiki”. Its collective nature makes it possible to view bookmarks added by similar-minded users.

    I recommend you checking these very useful resources to get more benefits from the website:

    Absolutely Del.icio.us Tools Collection

    del.icio.us is one website from the list of social websites. In my case it is the most useful. I can easily do without others from the list, but I explore del.icio.us daily.

    Why do I prefer it to Google and other search engines? Because it returns much better results. For instance, if I browse by keywords I also pay attention to how many people bookmarked this page. If it shows a high number of people I am sure that it is a good and reliable source. And I am sure that it is not an artificial bookmarks – digg.com (just another popular social website) is regularly criticized for its not quite objective way to feature website users’ content and news).

    Summary: Well, I do not think that 100% persons share my excitement about this service, but most do, otherwise Yahoo! would not bother buying this service on December 2005.

    Web content sources
       September 6th, 2006

    Most websites heavily rely on their content. Yes, e-commerce websites or image hosting or proxy websites can do without any content. But even these types of websites actively develop their content sections to get a greater visibility in the search engines to get more visitors.

    It is admitted that the most valuable content is unique content:

    Unique means being the only one of its kind

    I will not call it unique content – when you write a post on any topic you rely on some other sources of information (sometimes you make a link to those sources, sometimes you think these are your ideas as you do not remember where those ideas originate from).

    So, I think you agree that the content matters for any type of website.

    Next question is where to get much of these valuable assets.

    1. To develop your own? Yes, but you are not likely to produce as much as you would like or as your competitors who use other methods.

    What are your other options?

    2. You can steal content from others – not quite ethical, but widely practiced.

    3. You can target your visitors and try to get user generated content – this is a great way to run a website. More on forums here.

    4. You can use content from other websites that allow you to do it. It is not so valuable as your own mind product – readers are more interested to read it from the original source; search engine will neglect it as duplicate. But it is a nice addition to other website content you have – your own or forums.

    Hidden Content Sources for Your Website lists good content sources that you should explore and decide if there is any sense to place any on your website:

    Project Gutenberg
    Archive.org
    Creative Commons
    Government Web Sites
    Article Directories
    Interviews
    RSS Feeds
    Facts & Statistics
    Private Label Articles
    Images
    Quotes

    Summary: Yes, content that no other websites have is the most valuable. But I suggest you to explore other types of content including duplicate – probably they will improve your website in some ways.

    Or become your source of inspiration and give you some great ideas for conceptually developing your website.

    How to sell / buy forums
       August 18th, 2006

    In case you are unwilling to build your community website from zero (short of time, no experience, cash available to invest, etc) – the basics of the process and general guidelines how to start your forum I discussed in forum launch post – you have one more viable option: buy an established forum. Yes, a simple, efficient, but expensive way to become an owner of a web community.

    The places to visit if you would like to check forums for sale are the same as I listed in the post on where to sell / buy websites So, you can combine your search of websites and forums and buy the property you like most.

    You as a potential forum buyer should pay attention to most points mentioned in how to sell / buy websites but forums has some specifics that you should check additionally.

    Here is a few extra points to go through while evaluating a forum (potential forum sellers should find these points also of some value – it will assist you to know what questions to expect from your prospects):

    - is it a standalone forum or it comes with a blog or website or something else?

    - check members list: date joined, last visit date (does membership grows smoothly, no unusual jumps in new members joining the community)

    - posting frequency: check how many active posters the forum has (roughly in %), are there many lurkers?

    - staff: who helps to run the forum? If there is staff how they are paid? Or are they volunteers? Who are moderators? Will they stay to go on with their work?

    - check what mods the forum uses.

    - does the forum come with some custom designed skin?

    - read it for some time – can you get a feeling of community?

    - check the forum reputation online: feedback, is it a well known community in its industry?

    If the forum uses vBulletin software ask for VB admin Stats and Logs – you will see how many threads were started on a particular day, how many registered per day, how many registered members logged in per day. Does the seller include VB license into the sale?

    You should be careful not to buy a forum that will go dead as soon as you buy it – the former owner could artificially boost much activity in recent days or weeks prior to sale – so, it is a good idea to browse the forum checking the dates of the posts.

    If the forum owner is reluctant to reply to any of your questions or provide information you ask for – stop any negotiations.

    Summary: Forums are great as they generate much content automatically. Yes, they are more difficult to monetize, but they take less time to run. Your business gets diversified – it is my belief that every forum owner runs websites, but not every website owner runs a forum.

    Another great advantage of the online communities – you are less dependent on search engines. You will become more relaed when the next Google update comes and youwill not a frequent poster on www.webmasterworld.com (Google news section) where every second poster tries to find an answer to: why my pages go supplemental, why Google dropped so many pages of my dear website, why Google ignores my robots.txt file, why It does this and why It does that.
