How Much Advertising Does HostHideout Do?

[WHM-Billy]

I am just wondering how much advertising the owner/mods do for this forum. Forum always has tons of visitors online but not many members online at once.

A few days before the January 1, 2003 launch I mentioned the site to about 10 people. Does that count?

[Liquid Hosting]

Wow!!! All this from that? Oh, the power of buzz! :)

It's the power of the :chicken:

:chicken:2 - or - Is it compound interest that does it!
(Oh I crack me up.)
Ok folks I have left you with some straight lines what will you do with them?

[secure-unix]

lol i dont know but alot of people know about it and spread the word :) cant beat word of mouth :D

[Stacie]

HHO does the best kind of advertisement there is: word of mouth

[Chicken]

Though I am open to ideas on places to advertise, but not sure where everyone hangs out aside from forums, heh.

[onthespothost]

maybe some google adwords for hosting reviews or something like that :birthday:

you could make a t-shirt, like WHT, but less flaky. Walking billboards are always good.

[Chicken]

I will probably do that for a few reasons once the site is redone (good news on that front: we have a direction), but are you saying I shouldn't have a WHT hiding behind a chicken? ;) :D

Never got that damn shirt (even though it was offered on several occasions so I think I know what you mean about flakey :D).

[Gaffa]

I must say chicken. I take my hat off to you, you are a perfect example of determination and hard work.

Less members and more visitors means lots of search engine traffic. But a forum for web masters, ideally should have more members, I thought!

There are a lot of hosting forums...I think WHT, HD, and HHO should work together on a membership promotion of some sort. You 3 are the biggest hosting discussion forums, so maybe it'd be worth your while to work together. Just a thought :P

[jacknoc]

Just wondering what sites of HD and HHO are?

[Chicken]

"HHO" is HostHideout, just what people started calling it even though it really should be "HH" as "hideout" is one word. Seems few realize this though as when we were doing up logos back in the day, I got many with incorrect capitalizations...

HostHideOut

All capitals has solved this problem ;) :D

[xAngelx]

HD I think is the hostdime forum, HHO is hosthideout.com (where you are now :P)

[graham barnes]

I doubt HD is hostdime, I think its hostingdiscussion, hostdime is a host :P not a place to talk about hosting, certanly not there competitors.
