TradersBASE.com stock market site feedback

[TradersBASE]

I have a 2 month old community that's doing fairly well. I'd love to have some fresh eyes on it and hear back any input yall might have. I know the url's have to get SEO friendly and will tackle that soon.

www.tradersbase.com/forum
Also
www.tradersbase.com is the front WP blog

Thanks alot,
MC

3 Months old now and the last was a decent growth month, though I was hoping for more.
I am running zoints tags and VBseo plus the VBseo xml sitemap.

Any further suggestions for me to tweak or optimize the site.
OR any other avenue to get more eyes on the site? I have no doubt anyone interested in the topic of the site will be back, but how best to get more eyes?

Thanks :up:

liked your forum skin..

you can work a lot on your homepage.. it doesn't match the vB's skin/Forum link. It looks more like a page of wordpress.

try vbAdvanced for homepage..

I'll have to look into that. The fourm looks good IMO, blog not so much yet.

Thanks for the tip.

Big fan of your site

I have to agree on the homepage. Might want to use a CMS instead of a blog as the front page as it becomes hard for new visitors to figure out your site is a forum. I use vbadvanced, easy to use and very flexible in terms of customization.

good luck!

I really appreciate the feedback and assistance. Cire2222 has been on fire this year with his calls on TradersBASE. I've wondered if I should just give him my $ and let him trade for me. Then I remember my draw into this game was independence, so I'll keep learning the game.

I'll look into vbadvanced this weekend, should be a breeze to install like everything for vbulletin here. Incredible coders and community!

Thanks,
MC
