I have been thinking for years now on how to increase my forum
user's activities in order to improve the forum Traffic and Page
Rank. My forum is
HTML http://xbrainsforum.createaforum.com
Now below is my forum Stats:
• Members: 115928+
• Posts: 59779+
• Topics: 29103+
• Page Rank: 2/10
I really thank Createaforum so much for their good services even
for free. I have been using Createaforum for 3 years now;
• Customer's friendly
• Quick response to requests
• Good server Uptime
• Even when am Offline they still ensure that my forum is up
and running even without admin.
I really thank the Admin of Createaforum for all their
activities at my forum during 2015 when am Offline for almost a
year. I appreciate all your efforts.
Now that my forum has grown a little, I started noticing that
the Site Bounce rate is increasing from 30% - 78%. You can check
it,
HTML http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/http://earlyface.com
which is
not a good reputation for my forum.
Finally, I got a remedy to reduce it and the remedy is (Related
Topics) a smf Mod.
Related_Topics_1.4.1.tar.gz (12kB):
HTML http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=189
This
extension will display a list of similar (related) topics at the
bottom of the current topic's page and when creating new topic.
It matches keywords in the current topic's title with other
topic titles in your board's forums and determines the most
relevant and closely matched results.
There are Admin Control Panel settings available to fine tune
the display and performance of Precise Similar Topics, under the
Extensions tab.
Features:
• Displays a list of the most simila/relevant topics at the
bottom of the current topic page.
• Uses a precise and light MySQL query to search topic titles
for matches.
• Similar topics are sorted in order of decreasing relevance.
• Adjust how many Similar Topics to display per page.
• Adjust the age-span of topics to display (ie: display similar
topics from the past year only).
• Individually enable/disable the display of similar topics in
each forum.
• You can exempt certain forums from being searched for similar
topics.
• You can define which forums can share similar topics with
other forums.
• A query caching option reduces SQL overhead on large boards.
• Permission settings for users and groups determine who can
view similar topics.
• Forum privacy is maintained, topics from unauthorized and
password-protected forums will not be shown to users who should
not see them.
• Multi-lingual support for stop-words (common words that are
ignored).
• Prosilver and Subsilver2 styles compatibility. Built-in
compatibility with my "Topic Preview" extension.
You can visit the below link to see where it is being used on a
forum;
HTML http://www.allstudentforum.com/index.php?topic=2731.0
Am Suggesting that you should install this mod into Createaforum
forums to reduce the high amount of BOUNCE rate. This is also on
of the most wanted mods needed, it reduces site bounce rate, you
know what? I like this mod because it make users stay longer on
forum by reading other Related topics.
