Thought About Using BuddyPress Again

If you were on this website/blog during the week you may have noticed that I had reactivated buddypress which turns your wordpress blog into a social networking platform. After reactivating my buddypress I decided that buddypress is not worth it for my own reasons such as, There is too much work deleting spammers and my traffic amd online earnings went down after setting up buddypress here.

Then there is the lack of themes and the need to use too many extra plugins just to get it to work. I am done with buddypress if you want to register and write a blog post that is fine so long as it’s original I will publish it you can link to affiliate products if you like but no rogue sites. Another problem with buddypress is that I have found few good sites to use as successful buddypress examples most have 1000′s of inactive members or overactive members writing about their shoe stores.

Another thing is I no longer care about it and need to spend some time using my computer for more than just boring administrative tasks and social bla bla bla.

This is WGT an online Golf Game which I tried out this evening it would make a good buddypress community if I was interested in Golf, But maybe you are and you are looking for some kind of topic to create an online community about maybe this will help you think broader about what you can do with buddypress if you want to my problem with the social networking platform is that I am not a social person :). Well not after the last time I had buddypress installed anyway since as mentioned above I was constantly deleting spammers I did find a solution in the form of wang gaurd a plugin which will delete sploggers for you, But when I discovered it the spammers has gotten the better of me as in the had me brought to a point of total demotivational reason to offer anyone any kind of service for free as it’s always abused.

Make Contact Page Open in a New Window

Using TARGET = “_blank” for your contact page is important there are many reasons why you should.

Firstly when you open your contact page in the same window visitors can loose track of what they wanted to contact you about. Here is an example I was visiting a site that I visit quite regularly and noticed that one of the links was giving a 500 Syntax error, command unrecognized so I tried to contact the webmaster that the script that this page required to run was not working correctly. But the contact page was opening in the same browser window and not in a new window or tab. This meant that when the contact page was open referring to the broken site script required me to click back to reference the broken url. So I did not care anymore to contact the webmaster as it was too much work and they would probably consider my email as Spam and give no thanks.

Furthermore contact pages on websites are mostly too commercial and do not offer true possibilities for visitor communication with the website owners. Contact pages seem to be only about selling more and not reading the visitors opinion even if it’s about telling them that something is very wrong and they can fix it. Companies pay 1000′s to website developers to build websites but even if these sites are compatible with all browsers at the time of their creation with new browsers and new ways to view websites with other technologies such as tablets and smartphones.

 

Companies pay a developer to build a website and think that’s it we have our domain and site setup but a few years later they are incompatible from the devices people are accessing them from, moving with technology and times is important and this also means offering visitors to contact you about more than just sales.

Your Downline Knows that Last minute Offer will be offered Again

Do you  Get Caught By Last Minute Special Offers ?

Most of the Follow up Emails I get from email marketers  are informing me of a product that is only available at a>very special rate for the Next 24 hours or some short period, But I do not take up the Offer and find that 2 or 3 Weeks later I am getting the same offer again this is when I unsubscribe from their mailing list.

While we all want to make some money these types of emails are getting old and people need to be told about offers that will really help trying to get people to panic buy will not help your list very much and as many A-listers will send you product after product most people think that that is the way to make money blogging but it’s not because these A-listers have no problem loosing a few Hundread Downline members a Day from their mailing lists and Will Gain about the Same amount back because of the Large Volume of Traffic they recieve to their Websites but the Rest of Us have to be carefull if we loose anymore than 10 Downline members so if we wish to keep our downline interested we should provide some information and not just products alone.I am also getting tired of having to download something like eBooks from every newsletter I am subscribed to and would sometimes just like to hear a short tip instead of having to read a book as reading books takes time and I do not want to be reading the same information over and over again if I see an Ebook Starts off with something I know about Anyway I will not read the Rest of the Book.

So before you decide that a product is fit for your newsletter think is it of any real value and would you buy it yourself even better try promoting a product that you have bought because you will know about the product and be able to share what you have gained from using the product.This will give you more feeling when promoting the product and make you promote it even better because you are giving a first hand opinion of someone that has used the product in question.
