Merflerher Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Hi folks, I'm a new member. I'm also a librarian and just thought I'd say that most public libraries have noticeboards where you can advertise book-related stuff, so rather than stick bits of paper inside library books, just ask the branch librarian to display a large flier. There's nothing more irritating than shelving books where bits of paper keep falling out:D Quote
Polka Dot Rock Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 I've been popping the small flyers in any books I sell I've been hoping that someone will join up because of it and I can take the glory! Would be ace if it happened SOON tho'... Quote
NiceguyEddie Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 I think you must be doing something right anyway Michelle: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=QI9&q=book+forum&btnG=Search&meta=cr%3DcountryUK%7CcountryGB That's how I found this one.

Michelle Posted August 9, 2007 Author Posted August 9, 2007 Yep - and that has taken two years of hard work! Quote
Polka Dot Rock Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 I've had a deluge of book orders/swaps so I've now also printed the big ones and stuck those in There's no escape! Quote
NiceguyEddie Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Yep - and that has taken two years of hard work! Interesting. I use a specialist shopping cart company for my commercial website, which takes care of submissions and is very Google friendlky, but with the forum I'm launching (audio books as Michelle knows, so not a competitor) I'm beginning to scratch my head in terms of getting it up the search lists.

Nici Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 At work I believe that the company who designed our website also gets us up the list on google but I don't know how! Quote
Michelle Posted August 9, 2007 Author Posted August 9, 2007 There are alot of factors involved with google.. some may know some tricks, but with me, my main aim has always been to build a decent site/forum, which other people want to link to etc. What I'm pleased with is that we do pretty well on most search engines, rather than just google.

Nici Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Well said Fireball! I too would never had read some of the books that I have if it wasn't for this forum! Quote
JudyB Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Another 'well said Fireball' from me - my reading has broadened so much from visiting the forum and it's such a sociable place to be. Thanks Michelle Quote
Galactic Space Hamster Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 I just added a recommendation and link over on my site. It's not like I have millions of people visiting of anything, but every little helps as they say on a certain advert! Quote
Heather Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 I have a book Blog and have added a lind to the site Quote
Galactic Space Hamster Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 I'm guessing that most of us have a personal site, so if we all added a link there to here with a quick recommendation it would probably help spread the word :-) Quote

Echo Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 I actually made a flier last summer and e-mailed it to the libraries in my area, and they offered to put it up on their notice boards. That was back in July, and I went into one of the libraries in November, and it was still up on the board. Just let them know that the site is non-profit, and it should be fine. Quote
