Do more site engine optimization.

you want the first google result for "blazers rumors".

so change the top header in the address bar to "Blazers Rumors, Blogs, News and Discussion" or something like that. Hide keywords, submit to Yahoo and Google.

nah, we can discuss here. whoever does the coding should put in the Tagline (the bar in your web broswer) some keywords. that's the first step.

who codes the site? is it a template based program? or is there a programmer that can change keywords and tags.

http://www.google.com/addurl/

you should also make it so you DON'T have to be logged in to see the blazers board. that way, the google spiders will crawl

You should try to do "link exchanges" with other blazers related sites. Maybe even blazer personal sites....

like Channing Frye's. http://www.channingfrye.com/blog/?page_id=2

see if you can get on the sidebar links on the side column.

Reciprical links work very well....especially when they are with pages that have similar content.

i pm'd hey kid with a couple of sites that have agreed to link here if we link back to them.. I think he is going to get those on the main page.

I remember getting an early version of my own spinoff board, PortlandBoards.com (not active anymore) on Blazers.com. haha.

Hey guys, I'm new here. I used to be a mod over at ClubWizards and am also a part of Club Celtics.

I think the best way to get new members is to start up a sim league. I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with it but it def. attracts atleast around 25 members. Club Celtics has it and that is rolling along. I'm well experinced with running sims and wouldn't mind starting it up one here given the permission.
