This Documentation is NOT and “Advertising Documentation.” This won’t teach you how to gain guests but how to encourage them to register”

Lingering guests are a big problem for a lot of forums. Seeing 5 guests online browsing around is fun, until you see they won’t register. Many guests will hang around at forums for months and still not even register. If your topics are all visible, and they don’t have the desire to post, why would they register? Hopefully this guide will teach you a few techniques to lure in those guests that just won’t click “register.” It is pretty annoying when you have put all your hard work into the forums and they browse but never register ? So heres a few tips ;

Register Box on Front Page

More than once I have had one of my friends not know how to register for a forum. You might think it would be uncommon but it really isn’t. The register button is hard to find for some of the “forum illiterate” users. However there is an easy way to make the register button more accessible and visible to your guests.

Make the permissions for this forum so that only guests can read it, this will make sure your members/staff/admins won’t have it on their screen when they are logged in.

Include “Member Only” Categories

“Member Only” categories are an excellent way to give perks to signing up. If you are a resource board, perhaps make the documentation, graphics database, and skin database, only viewable by members. General Chat related forums should add things such as a Media Database with links to funny videos, articles, and games. Both of these will make registering imperative to seeing most of the forum.

Be Sure to Keep Announcements Visible

If you were going to join a club, wouldn’t you want to know about stuff they did, the people running the club, and information about it? Well…so do guests. An announcement forum is a great place for a guest to get information about your site and see what kind of things your forum stands for. Pin important topics that will increase their knowledge of the forum and possible even include a “Information Desk” with guides of information about your forum specifically.

A forum to Success should add a Register now, and Log in Redirect forum for the guests to register also a good idea would be for example:

What do i get out of registering ?
♥ Free access to information on making your board a success
♥ Hints & Tips to attract members to your boads
♥ Free redirected Software & Hardware downloads
♥ Meet new people from the otherside of the world
♥ Be apart of The Community.

I hope this has helped

Everquest players are beginning to see the unraveling of the boundaries between the past and the present as the countdown to the Seeds of Destruction expansion release grows short. Check out the story behind the event and some new lore:All across Norrath and beyond, the boundaries between past and present and between parallel realities seem to be fraying.Within the normally peaceful Plane of Knowledge, three heralds of Druzzil Ro entered the realm; bringing warnings of troubled and dangerous times ahead."Danger has arrived! Our time is very short! Time is ticking and our doom may have arrived! As it passes, time takes with it portions of our lives. Well, your lives. And now it threatens to take all of our lives. Powers of chaos and destruction are taking their time, taking our time! Go quickly, time is so very short."Meanwhile, over in the Dreadlands, a retired scholar named Deckarn Mystglade is seeking someone to help keep him from losing his mind.from:WoW CD KeyWarhammer online Power levelingWar Power levelingWorld of Warcraft cd key Warhammer Power leveling

The expecting Warhammer online gongce is coming. Tens of thousands of MMORPG players wanna a try. At the same time, each game studio and website wants to make a big profit. Warhammer cd key is on hot sell. Warhammer online gold is even preselling weeks before September 18, 2008. And World of Warcraft Power Leveling? Not one less. Although warhammer power leveling serves the players and make money for the game product company, game studios and websites, which is the same as World of Warcraft cd key and WoW Power Leveling, it is the headache of game product company, game studios and websites. Why and why not? All of them need warhammer online power leveling, yet they are not standing on the same line. Game studios and websites wanna the profit. For them, the number of power leveling users, the more, the better. While for the game product company, they wanna war power leveling to flourish their game but do not wanna it to disturb even destroy the balance of the game itself. Game studios are suffering force-out. And some websites are suffering force-out too. Safe warhammer power leveling websites are in need now. There are still many websites which provide safe war power leveling. Friends, do not miss item4u.com. It provides the best service.
