Cre8tive Flow

Crazy as it sounds, that is what we’re discovering.

1. Forums are no longer where the majority of search marketers go for information.

2. Forums are not appealing to the younger generation of Internet users. They use Google to ask questions and Facebook to network.

3. Activity attracts traffic. A blog or forums that pays its content generators achieve better results and brand loyalty than volunteer-driven communities.

and more… a difficult look at what’s happening >> Time To Close Forums: New Gen Has No Need For Them. We need your opinion and suggestions.

From the moderators to our generous Cre8tive Web Design Community, we wish you all

from Cre8asiteforums.  We wish you all a global day of peace, thanks, family, friends and, beer.

One way to get people to notice you is to offer to interview them. I was referred to the Wildfire Marketing Group by a good friend who suggested me as prospect for their Thought Leader interview series.

The interview, Thought Leader Thursday – Kim Krause Berg, ran today. It’s not real long. The topic is usability and seo. While there, you may enjoy the other interviews they posted.

Cre8asiteforums Moderator, Ruud Heim, was interviewed recently by Gab Goldenberg, in one of the most delightful interview presentations I’ve ever read.  For starters, Ruud Hein: “How I Stay Ahead of The SEO Pack” is loaded with photos of Ruud in action.

I’m envious of his big chair. His advice has led me to beg for my own dual monitor setup for my birthday (Eric came through, yay!).

17,000 photos?

Comedy, laughter, is an amazing thing. It’s a real, freaking miracle. You don’t see ants roll on their back from sheer laughter… I suspect dogs smile though…

In case you haven’t read about it yet, Cre8asiteforums has a wee bit of news. Self-taught, self-employed working mom and forums owner and founder, Kim Krause Berg, earns #30 spot in top 200 Winners Circle in national business contest.

Read about it in “Supermom Succeeds” and check out the Rock Band drums behind me and my bare feet. So professional!

I did wear my “Zen Mom” shirt, in honor of my Internet Marketing friends who love it and Li Evans, who gave the shirt its name.

I bet you think all we do at Cre8asiteforums is sit around blabbing about Internet topics all day…and you would be sorta correct. However, myself and all the Moderators like to find ways to keep supporting the industries we cover in the forums.

We launched a simple contest in which all anyone had to do was send us a love letter and we would vote on who brown nosed us the best. In the end, 3 people won our testimonial contest and I gave away three books.
