Hello

I have a forum and would like to invite people who have some kind of interest with babies and parenting, to write good posting and get rewarded.

I will not allow spanning or commercial adverts.

This is all above board and could be well worth it as the overall rewards come to well over £100.00....

Thanks

just what constitutes 'good posting'?... and who's doing the judging?

btw, your opening page has many mistakes in the copy...

Bit of advice: for a forum starting out you have too many forums. A potential member can tell at a glance that the site is inactive and will no doubt move on to another where there is obvious activity. If you condense to the essential forums then the early activity is contained and the forum looks more active.

Also, check out The Admin Zone, the forum for webmasters and forum admins.

mammamaia, thank you for the reply, its not really a competition so no one will be judged, but as its a parenting advice forum it would be silly to be talking about eg new motorbikes, fishing and so on... that's all i mean by good postings.

"btw, your opening page has many mistakes in the copy..." thanks i will look in to them..

Connor Wolf, thank you for that, i will take a look..

Mike C,

"Uh... but yours is a commercial site, and you're spamming here..."

I know my store is commercial but the forum is totally different and i do not plan to or ever will push my store products. the idea of the forum is the same as all my advice pages and that is to offer more to my visitors, i get many more hits on my advice content than i do on the store and that's fine with me. Many large sites like babyworld have forums, advice pages and a shop together and i see no harm by having a single link to the store via the forum as this gives my forum members a choice... And as the spamming goes here, not once did i mention my store, all i was looking for was for people to join the FORUM and not the shop and to give the chance for the writer to get rewarded for it...
I see not harm in that and no spamming and if it looked like i was spamming i apologise, if i was im sure the owners of this forum would have remove this article..

Thanks for all the help given so far...
