I need your help
We (RR) need to increase the use of our forum...which will help us bring more traffic to the web site...which will eventually help us create more advertising opportunities. We use our Blog / Bench racing section like a forum....and the forum gets very little use. An active forum would help us a great deal.Secondly, I would like to use the blog /bench racing section for racing stories...tales...which will enable me to drive more traffic to site by advertising the stories across the net.I love the interactivity and participation we get on bench racing section and don't want to do anything to hamper that...just need to balance out the useage of the site.I can move the forum to the top of the page...if that helps. I can modify the format...somewhat....if that helps.Give me your thoughts....can we make this work?Thanks very much for your support!Jeff
I don't have much to add to most of the dicussions about racing, because I'm so far behind in my knowledge.Sometimes I just try to get other people to share.I hope some of the frivolous stuff I've said didn't get in the way. I know a lot of it didn't have much to do with my racing knowledge, because I don't have that much yet. If there's anything I can do to help, or stop doing, let me know in a message.
The Hannah Stewart thread that Joe started is probably one of the longest running threads yet...lol. and still going like that rabbit...is it ever ready...or everlast... I can never remember. crs
I'm confused, Jeff and that's easy to do. What is the difference between Bench racing and the forum as far as content.Pete in Michigan
In some cases, Pete...there's not much difference in the content. It has more to do with where we post the thread. Using the forum will help more folks know about the site. Also...by using the forum...the thread will go to the top of the page each time a new post is added. With the Blog/bench racing feature...they gradually move off the page. Therefore, a popular topic is short lived...out of site...out of mind. With the forum the same topic could be kept alive for days...even months. I've seen topics on other forums with thousands of posts.I'd like to use the blog/bench racing feature for commentary....articles....stories...about racing history...which will enable me to drive traffic to those topics.I think once we get used to using the forum more...the benefits will become more evident.Also keep in mind..I have more flexibility with formatting topics and threads on the forum...I am very limited wiith the blog feature.
Ok Jeff, I got it now. Thanks!!Pete

Hey Jeff, just joined the site. It's just what I am looking for!!! I have a blog and website with the mission of celebrating, promoting and growing the sport of stock car racing in Ontario, Canada. I just posted a story with a link to this site on my blog. I also have a facebook group with almost 500 members and I just sent all of them a link to your great site. I love history and love racing and we need to keep it alive, everywhere. Great job!!!
