About this plugin:
This plugin will suggest your community to members of our website who ask questions that your members are qualified in answering. We will post questions from our members to the appropriate forum on your website. Your original members will discuss and answer them, and our members then become your members.

Want more members and more discussions?
By installing the Advizo plugin, your forum will be suggested to users that are interested in issues that your community cares about. This drives highly relevant traffic to your site while also providing great, targeted content. This content will in turn generate more traffic from organic search engine listings. This is the power of the Advizo network. Our plugin is a simple and convenient way to connect your site to the Advizo network.

Simplify access to your site while improving content quality
The Advizo network only sends highly qualified members to your site based on what they are looking for. Advizo is a closely monitored network, which ensures we drive only highly focused and targeted content to your site. The result is new members to your site that are already engaged with your community.

Seeing a drop in traffic from Google? Diversify your traffic now!
Lots of great bulletin boards and forums have seen a drop in traffic because of Google?s change in search ranking algorithm (called the Panda update). Now is the time to diversify your sources of traffic! Advizo helps people find communities that care about their interests and concerns. If you maintain a specialized discussion forum, Advizo will route new members and new discussions to your forum. Advizo will automatically glean from natural language analysis which categories and topics your forum specializes in. This also reduces the hoops that users have to jump through to find the right forum topic for them - it?s all done for them.

Please note that this plugin is currently available for English-only sites

Quick Advizo Overview:

Advizo is a community-based service that helps members get their advice from the best communities available. It is a free service and has been recently launched. At present, Advizo is an invitation-only site that is accepting requests to join. We are interested in ensuring the highest quality of membership. Quality is measured by your ability to provide accurate, reliable and useful advice to fellow members. In addition, this process prevents spammers and trollers from interfering. Our membership is limited at present (partly due to when we released the site) and in part due to our invitation only policy.

Advizo has a machine learning algorithm using statistics of the content to determine which forum is best suited for a user's new discussion or question. In addition, we also have human moderation to ensure the accuracy of these suggestions.

In a nutshell, our site will take a users discussion topic, suggest the best forum for it, and using our plugin automatically add this discussion (and the user) as a member to the partner site. Partner site members DO NOT become our members. Nor do all of our members automatically become members of a partner site. We only add a member, if we find there is a match between the partner site's content and our user's query. And as the discussion gets responses within the partner site, these replies are also displayed on Advizo.com. In this manner, users do not have to jump from site to site to get their advice.

Tried everything you said and still doesn't work...never mind, advizo is great idea but sign up process real pain in the butt. Registering Swiss bank account online is piece of cake compared to this. Appreciate your efforts, thanks.

Considering the last post was November last year, and that their latest discussion topic on Advizo.com was Asked 9 months ago its fair to say don't expect a huge increase in traffic any-time soon!
