Spreading the Word About Hamster Central!! :)

SnuggleHam · 03-23-2005, 04:25 PM

Just a little note to everybody!

I want to encourage our members to try and spread the word about Hamster Central. I haven’t yet seen it show up on a Google search but it will in a Yahoo search. Because its still not showing up in search engines we need to spread the word ourselves.

I have been doing so in a few places but it seems my intent of advertising for exposure is starting to bother people and I’m running out of ideas where to try and let people know about Hamster Central :P

So if you know any places to spread the word please do so! Also if you know of any great hamster websites where I can email and ask about doing a link exchange please let me know the URL and I will look into the site!

I know some of you have been doing a great job in recruiting, but maybe we can all do our best to step it up a notch and do some field work :P I really appreciate everyone’s help!

Someday I'm hoping that when someone types in the word "hamster" this will be one of the first sites to show, naturally it will grow on its own then, but for when it does it would be nice to already have a well developed forum

I found this forum by googling 'hamster forum'. It was first on the list!

I had one idea about spreading the word: Twitter. It's a really good way of getting your name out there. You can set up and account and get followers and if you share information about hamsters on there people are more likely to find it and follow. I know that I have been looking to meet Hamster fans/rescue/forums on twitter just to get chatting to more fellow hamsters lovers!

The way to get something to show up in Google searches is to link to it. I've been putting links to it in my blog.

by the way, I first found this forum using Google.. I think it was in November 2011.

Come on! We need to get HC known about- it's the best forum out there (in my opinion). Others are good, but HC is better and has more knowledgable people. Another forum (naming no names) seems to be full of clueless people who 'own a hamster who lived for four years' (by freak chance based on the way they've looked after them) so they decide they're experts.

I completely agree with this! I've been signed up on other forums before and none of them were even nearly as good as HC.
