Is there any trick or whatever for increasing the page views of the forum? For example an auto refresh option every 5 minutes?  ::)

Advertisement reasons. Marketeers are asking for page views. So if I have more, I will get more money.

I would really advise against that. It's very dishonest...

Obviously you'd just change values in the database

This is the point! I dont like dishonest option. So I am searching for normal methods. Not only for increasing the page views but for attracting more visitors probably. For example I have found the way of contests. I start a contest with an award of $50 and the members visit my site more often when a contest runs. Other method?

It is already interesting but I cannot pay for advertising it in magazines. So I need more people to visit it and learn of its existence. What should I do? The 5000 different visitors who visit it monthly, admit that it is awesome. But this is not enough.

Allowing guests to view will probably result in more page views

Check the meta tags in template.php. It's what search engines use to rank you. Make sure the KEYWORDS section has the words you expect folks to use to search for sites with your kind of info. Getting a higher ranking (first few pages) in the search results is how folks find your site.

Also, find similar sites, and if they have an "Add Your Link" section, add your site to their links page. If they don't allow you to add them youself, email them and ask them to add you. Reciprocate by adding them to your links page.

I am happy to offer you karma for the help you provide me! Well I have already did these steps. (type 'Digital Photography Greece' in google ;)  )
I also send emails to people who may be interested. What's next?  :)

Most search engines place no real relevance of meta keywords these days.

To get a decent ranking you need to get as many sites as possible to link to you.

Scotty, then what do they do to rank you? It was my understanding that the meta tags (and their relevance to the actual words on your home page) is how they rank you. OTOH, some search engines will gladly take your money to rank you higher too.

Personally I've found reciprical links to work well on my Asheron's Call² fan site, and getting it listed on the official MS site didn't hurt either. :)

Thanks, MM

As far as the most important search engine is concerned (sorry to the others, but it's true!), links, links, links:

Our Search: Google Technology


QuoteVotes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important."

I've never got round to adding suitable meta keywords and descriptions to anything except my home page, but I still do a roaring trade in Google searches for the sort of stuff my site offers!
