Why should you install a forum on your website?

Choosing to install a forum on your web site is a great idea. No matter what your web site entails, a forum can be a great advantage to you and your business. A forum is a section of your page that allows users to post messages to each other. Unlike chat rooms where messages are erased, the messages in forums are saved on your site. This allows users to come back to your web site at their convenience to read new posts or comments to their posts. With a forum, you give customers and visitors both a place to meet and greet each other as well as a great place to exchange ideas. It is also a good venue for customer feedback to your products. By having a forum and allowing them a place to share information and communicate with each other – and you – you are letting them know their communications, ideas and comments are important to you.

So how does a forum benefit you? It generates more interest in your web site and gives people an excellent reason to come back to visit again. You will be able to attract repeat visitors to your web site especially if your forum allows them to subscribe to threads. Forums are one of the best opt-in mechanisms; by having users register to join your forum, you capture their email addresses to send out informational product emails!

Forum Installation

We will optimize your website by adding a forum. We currently install the free phpbb forum software or the vbulletin licensed forum software. In the case of the vbulletin software, you must buy your personal license.

We offer two types of installation. With the basic installation, we will install the forum software of your choice on your server and leave it to you to configure it and customize it.

With the recommended installation, we will not only install the forum software, we will also configure it for you and perform a basic customization. Most importantly, we will add a set of modifications (including re-writing of SE friendly URLs) to the software to improve its search engine optimization. For instance, all and all, for the phpbb installation, we perform over 30 modifications in various files to improve the effectiveness of the forum.
