Happy One Month Anniversary Baywind Farm Forum!

[Gypsy Rose]

Hard to believe it's only been a month, but here we are! The forum was up and running exactly one month ago today!

I just want to thank the WB's again for giving us this great place to be- I think we all appreciate it very much!

We're now up to 289 members- growing slowly, but growing nonethless.

The number of threads are increasing, with lots of interesting topics.

So here's to Baywind Farm Forum and the WB's! May their own farm become a reality soon, and have a healthy gowth, as the forum has been doing!

Indeed! :cheers:

[WashingtonBay]

Thanks and you're welcome! Hubby has some interesting statistics about us he intends to post tonight.

A forum is nothing without it's people, so thanks to all of you for coming! :)

[Gypsy Rose]

Good- it will be neat if something like that could be done once in a while- save a history of the forum.

[vicklynn]

Very cool! Thanks!

We're still on page 7 in the organic results for "horse forum", yet people have found us that way and joined! (actually hubby corrected me that those who found us via 'horse forum' search are probably using the paid link.... nvm)

BUT we are the Number One Google result for green wrinkly fruit (http://www.google.com/search?q=green+wrinkly+fruit&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a) :D

[Arrow]

How'd you happen to search for that?

[WashingtonBay]

Google tells us what people used as search terms to find the forum. People have come to us searching for Green Wrinkled Fruit!

Hubby's posting the more complete report in a minute. I think it's interesting.

[WashingtonBoy]

The top ten search terms people have used to find us:


horse forum
baywind farm
baywind farm forum
baywind horse forum
horse forums
baywindfarm
baywind forum
baywindfarm forum
baywindfarm.com/forum
baywind farm horse forum

Some other interesting search terms we got traffic from, and our current ranking (at least as of the time this report was generated):


holloween candy recall (2)
green wrinkly fruit (2)
pony head stuck in tree whole (4)
horse farm poem (5)

[WashingtonBay]

So obviously the ones searching for Baywind somethingorother already knew who we were and knew to search for us. But the others are real new people.

[Arrow]

Neat!

[WashingtonBay]

Heh... I think so too. :) Interesting information they give you. Google is a very powerful marketing tool these days.

[shelsnsaus]

If you google your H.com/Baywind user name Washingtonbay coupled with horse forum. You are the whole page. Not that it will bring in as many new users, but its a sure way of old friends finding their way here if they are so inclined.

Btw congrats on the wonderful job you've done it getting the forum up and running! I know I'm enjoying it myself. Just trying to figure out all the various ways in which to send messages. Its way more "techy" (for lack of a better word) than I'm used to or been previously capable of, but I'm learning. Slowly but surely.;)

[ProvenPaint]

Really?! A month?! Wow. :eek: I haven't been on nearly enough as I'd like but I do say it's just my life, not this forum - IT ROCKS! With the time change I hope I get on more.

Thanks again! :) :clap:

[SedonaThunder]

:cheers: Congratulations and thank you!!! :clap:

[JackieB]

[Gypsy Rose]

[TheBadLands]

yay!!!!!!!!!!!

[HaveFaith]

I think it's very nice, diversified, and a great place to swap horse, pet, & family stuff, etc. Still alot I don't know how to do, but after 50 I'm doing ok with new stuff. It's easier to put pics on than the last one I joined or two. Appreciate all the hard work.
