How did you find Hamster Central?

[SnuggleHam]

I would like to know how our users ended up coming across hamster central. It would be neat to see how the word is getting out, be it through a web search or perhaps word of mouth.

Please take the time to fill out the poll. You are also free to comment with more specifics if you like. :)

[suga]

I'd had Conker for awhile and she'd got sick and I was looking on the web for helpful remedies. Search engine found HC and PWS and I joined both. I'd probably never have found you otherwise as I only really use my pc for work and email......

[leigh]

I found Hc through a web search on Google. I was looking for general hamster infomation and this site came up in the proceedings.

[SnuggleHam]

Thanks Suga and Leigh. I've been wondering how we were doing on the results pages of search engines. On occasion I try and do a search for HC using basic key words about hamsters, but hamster central never seems to show up... or else its like down 10 or more pages of the search results. :? Id be interested to know what specific key words people used in searches to bring up a link to HC.

[pophammy]

I've been a member on HC so long now that I can't remember how I found it! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: But I'm really glad I did!

[souffle]

I remember! We were on another forum and a certain person whose name end in 'boos' told us about this great forum. :lol:

[Jill Bayles]

I was looking for a hamster breeder and came across this forum via a search engine. And will you just look at what has happened to us, all in the space of less than a week...found Pophammy and Souffle, went to Harrogate Show and met them and Cathy, found a hammy for Aidan, sorted out its cage etc and now awaiting hammy's arrival. Oh the wonders of modern technology :D

But no the wonder I'm shattered :D :wink:

[racinghamster]

I`m pretty sure a member or two posted the link to HC on the ratty forum I`m also a member of on a number of occassions and I took note of it from there. So I`ve voted `Found HC through another forum`. x

[Rach]

I used Google. :wink:

[Emms]

Me and Rach were discussing forums and she mentioned this one, the other hamster forum I was one wasn't very good so I joined here :)

[alie]

rattyrach from the Fancy Rats forum gave me the link just before I picked up Bertie... Thank you!!

[Chellby1991]

Through google i think. Looking for hamster breeders :lol:

[squiggle]

Hiya,
I found HC by typing in a few keywords relating to hamsters and adding 'forum' on the end, and searched in Google. I'm in the process of preparing for a new hamster :D , and I find that forums give the best advice as its all personal experience and not just copied from another webpage. For example, I've been researching products like cages, wheels etc and forums are the best place to get reviews as they're unbiased. If I just typed in 'hamster cage' or even 'hamster cage review', you tend to get loads of ads or retailers - and most don't have customer reviews anyway.
If you type in 'hamster forum', then Hamster Central is at the top of the list, and that always looks good. It shows that the site was programmed properly, in terms of how Google finds it. The site pages themselves come across as well-put-together too, so that has a major impact on whether you spend a lot of time on it. Worked for me - I just registered!! :)

[Pompompoms]

I searched Hamster's fighting on google as my rorbo's were starting to squabble, and it was turning into full on fighting. Jam got injured, and I needed advice as I'm a first time owner.
I got such good advice and help, and have continued to since!

[eye of the divine]

[29jonesem]

I found Hc through a web search on Google. I was looking for general hamster infomation and this site came up in the proceedings.

exactly the same! x

[squilly]

I found it via Google, looking for info after buying new pets for my daughter. I looked at several sites and this was my favourite. And still is.

I've used this site to tell me about housing, health issues, nutrition, the lot really. I've nicked the idea of having advertising hoarding boards to make a playpen. I've changed cages. I've altered diets. I've taken my middle boy to the vets. And I've come to love my hammies more and more.. Sad aren't I???

[cazamataz]

I just happened to be googling for advice on my new hammy and stumbled on this webpage and thought everyone seemed friendly and helpful! A bit like mumsnet for hammy owners ;)

[Poupouske]

Like most people I just googled "hamster forum" and chose this one because I liked the design, and because there was an "introduction" section :-)

[Ely]

By accident, kind off. I googled "pied roborovski" and the 8th result was on this site :D Before even reading the result, I registered immediately since this looked like my kind of website. This website should come up first when you google "Hamster" :)

[sophie]

My sister recommended this site to me:)

[sophie]

My sister put me on it because i am getting a hamster soon carn't wait it's going to be my baby :) .xx

[cheekycheeks]

I would suggest to get hamster central to pop up as one of the first options when you type in hamster forums. i was looking for a month on a good hamster forum, and i kept gettign hamster hideout and all these other hamster sites who s forums werent even close to as a ctive as this, I was beginning to think there wasn't a hamster forum like this, glad i found it but took a while

[Emma :)]

I am thinking of getting a hamster so I asked on a rabbit forum if anyone could recommend one and this one's name appeared the most! :-D

I'm a forum-junkie, so i figured i'd go ahead and join ^.^ everybody here seems so helpful and knowledgeable and it's been fun so far :-D

[StarlightSerenity]

Google :) Was looking for pics of hammie cages and found this place.

[Hannah]

I also found hamster central on google when I was researching about getting a hamster. I typed in a question and it brought up a thread on here when was really useful. I then explored other parts of the forum and thought it was great. Everyone is always willing to share thoughts and ideas. Fab! XxX

[Gucadohach]

I typed in simply 'Hamster Forum' lol

[HamsterAgility]

Hello,
I am new to Hamster Central and found it doing a search for Hamster Agility on google. I have had hamsters for many of the years of my life. I just bought another after quite a little wait. I am picky and am glad I waited to buy Uic, who I bought pregnant....a PLANNED pregnancy. She is sweet, tame, easy going and very pretty! We now have eight hamsters, as planned. A few are spoken for and we will keep the rest. I plan to train at least two.
Marna Kazmaier

[Lydia]

Was searching with Google.

[HamsterAgility]

I guess I should reply here, because I can not find the poll. (or maybe that is how you answer the poll?)
I found Hamster Central when searching for Hamster Agility. But I have found it hard to use and I prefer Yahoo Groups with emails that come to my mail box.

[Erin Loves Dwarf Hamsters]

I originally found it through Google when I was searching for layout designs for Thistle and Pippy's bin cage. Then as my family had been long since bored of my hamster talk I decided that I would like somewhere to go where I could talk about hamsters all the time without judgment. So I searched for 'Hamster Threads and Forums' and found HC again :)

[Smellysocks]

Whilst browsing Internet about hamsters found a site that recommended Hamster central!

[mxteena]

My hamster's neck often times is wet, so I searched for a possible reason over the internet and I ended up signing up in here. :)

[LancashireLass]

:mad:
I have only been a member for about a day and already a fan for life, I joined as I had a traumatic experience with my week old Syrian Hamster Poppy, I won't go into details but I honestly thought that my perfect little Poppy would never approach us again the advise that i have been given by fellow members was fantastic and I am optomistic that the hamster/human bond has not been lost. I will definately keep in touch and hopefully in the not too distant future i will be able to add Poppys face to my profile.

Janie xxx

[TheFeldhamster]

I saw it in the access stats of my hamster blog :)

[MzWiz0915]

I used to read threads on HC for info about various topics when I was looking for information about Gloria. When she became sick last spring I got very useful information about baby food and oatmeal as food options because she was getting too weak to crack seeds.

I joined shortly after losing her because I knew I was going to have many more hamsters in my life after the wonderful relationship my OH and I had with her. (she literally held our relationship together at times because we were both too attached to her to walk away from our relationship and apartment together...and she would get vocal if we argued, as if ordering us to stop!)

[Sera Rin]

I was looking for a site where I can gain knowledge about hamsters and meet people who are interested in hamsters. :)

Google is not my friend! It never comes up with what I want!

[Kaori]

Like lots of others here, I was running several google searches before I got my hamster and came across this place a few times. :3

[Josh]

I quoted 'other' and that was because on someone's hamster DIY blog, I liked it.
The next day I went back to it and typed central instead of the word it's supposed to be, then I came here.
Pretty weird, huh?

[chulasweetchica]

[Mutley10G]

Googling health questions

[LokiWolf]

I think I got a interesting reason that is pretty unique. I was googling/researching more info on Robos for a book idea. I still haven't gotten very far in writing it as there's very little about wild Robos to base stuff on.

[Kaztrekie]

I was researching before eating my daughters hammy well SAMs a joint one and hamster central looked the best forum.

[Victoriah107]

I found HC when I was searching for an organic food for my hammy since my recent resource no longer supplied it. When I found the product, I also found a link to HC. Imagine my surprise O:)

[HammieLover95]

By the way, when you search for 'hamster forum' in google browser, it comes up 2nd! Hopefully soon it will be first!

[Happy_Hamster]

I was doing some research before starting my own hamster website and came across HC via Search Engines...

Popular forums such as HC are always going to feature well within search engines due to the sheer volume of content that the user community creates. The down side is that it is very easy to outrank them as they do not adopt effective Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) strategies...

Take this for example...

If you Google the term "What can I feed my Hamster" - pretty generic question and a popular question among hamster owners. My website Happy Hamster usually appears second on the first page of Google and attracts over 500 visitors per month alone - admittedly the article is not very good and does not really cover a great deal (I need to work on this) but I know how to increase search engine rankings. There is much better info on HC if you take the time to browse the forum but no real presence for this popular question...before anyone points this out yes there is a HC listing at the bottom and yes I did start it :)

Hamster Central is a great forum and to be honest the best hamster resource on the internet (trust me I have researched this a lot!!!) - I am not sure how much traffic it gets on a monthly basis but I know it could do better if there were some subtle changes and some more targeted Internet Marketing

[hammy2]

I must say congrats who designed this forum as it is very hard to get lost. Everything is very ordered and has it's place :-)

I was upset,after days or weeks,trying to log on to my other hamster site,& seing that its been closed for maintenance.So i searched for other sites,then chose this one. Im a Hamster fan,hobbyist,and i can truly admit that im amazed by hamsters intelligence! I wish i knew about this site when my little Benbo passed away a couple yrs ago.the support from other hamster fanatics would be comforting! Its hard to explain to others,why a 42 yr old man is crying because his hamster past away! Feel free to snicker,because we're all on the same page here.I look forward to meeting all the big hearted fans here on hamster central. I was a gerbil hobbyist as a kid & did some breeding as well.I was a responsible kid,that also raised a few hamsters, i quickly noticed big differences between both critters.but loved them all the same.As my teen yrs started climbing,girls,& guitars became priority!So my buddies took over my gerbil family & buisness.yrs later i moved to Los Angeles from Vancouver Washington. Looking for part-time work for day,so i could play clubs at night.i applied @ pet stores & saw those fuzzy hamsters

[Dotty]

I found out from a lady called Erin, I found her on You Tube Erins Hamsters.
