hi meg,

 

Sometime ago it was became known that the front page had more links then made sense. In short, some search engines (like Google) think that homepage sites with many links are low quality and quite possibly we where close or over that limit. So since that point no more links got added as new forums got created.

 

Recently we wanted to add links to highlight the chart chat and personal chart area, but to do so some decision had to be made on what forum to list or not at this time.

 

I did some checking on which forums are most searched for globally, which ones most found listed by buzzjack and which ones are click on in search engines.

I guess it don't matter to you, but from a visitor point or view.... If you check search terms into Google like enter 'Darius Danesh Forum' or even 'Darius Forum' you will noticed we are listed top or very high.

 

So with with those checks the priority left Darius was at the bottom as was Scissor Sisters and a new high was Spice Girls that was not previously listed. So I made the decision to removed Darius from the homepage at this time and others. :arrr:

Ultimately though it's going to be an ongoing problem(which to add or remove) so I'm now thinking of another page off the home page which will list all the Artists forums.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience if your a person that started on http://www.buzzjack.com and then clicked Darius(sounds like this was your routine). The same problem had existed for all the newer artist forums. As soon as the title of new darius album title is known let me know and I'll add Darius and remove someone else.

It's a shame you had to do that. It's at times of no publicity that things like that are important to us. I'll just hope the new album is out soon but, it sounds like it's going to be late summer.

Does it count that Darius has got the male lead in a new production in a West End musical? As a music site, I feel that musical theatre is classed as music. He is very successful. Other forums atually listed on the front page have far less supoort or success than he has. Since there seems to be at least as much publicity in the rest of the world as there is here, it would help if it were easier to find his forum on buzzjack.

I don't think the front page should be changed. There are 43 AFs listed on the front page, so 19 are left off, so its not as if Darius is being singled out. You want Darius added, well thats not fair to the other 18 AFs not on the list and also its not fair to the AF that gets taken off the list.

You make a strong case and one that I agree with. Perhaps bring it to the attention of Phil (by pm) if he doesn't respond to this thread.
