When you do a search there is always some info on what the site is. So if we went for Digital camera group then have something like Nikon based but open to all digital camera users, if that can be done.
Good point Iain.
It needs to be considered.

Yes I would appreciate some input on this so I can make a decision before end of March when I need to renew the domain name.

Just rereading Chris' posts makes me realise that maybe we are attacking this the wrong way. 1

If the domain name is redundant in gaining views....why bother to change it? 
In fact the chance of dreaming up something succinct that's all encompassing is unlikely....although we don't have to stop trying.



We should just introduce a fuller better explanation of what the forum is about eg including other cameras in some preamble like other forum....

Just changing the descriptor that comes up might be a start.


If we are already getting significant footfall, is it possible to discover how they arrived at our forum? If it's not keywords any more, what is it that they are doing to arrive at Nikon-DSLR.net?


But fuelling more footfall is all very well. We need to address keeping people interested enough to ....

1) return regularly 
2) join in discussions

That must come down to content and it may be the very thing that also generates even more visits.


Maybe we need to ask ourselves why we visit the site regularly and consider how we can enthuse others to hang around?

Nikon-Plus.net
The discussion forum for Nikon, Sony, Olympus & Canon digital photographers.

That's there in case Chris decides to keep the R5 instead of the Z6 :devil:

Well it's raining outside, nothing else to do, so here's the germ of a logo idea...






Bin it or develop it?


Edit: Jonathan you will have to sell the Fuji gear. There's no space for it on the logo.  :lol:

Actually I think we probably need to be careful using company logos, they are no doubt copyrighted!

I'll do some research into where Google picks up the description under the URL in its results.

OK - I think I have found out how to manipulate what people see - it will take a while for Google to crawl the site and update any changes but as a test I have added this description to our page template -

"A forum originally for Nikon camera users but now embracing Canon, Sony, Fuji and other makes. Discussion areas for digital photography techniques, reviews of cameras and lenses as well as projects. Our own gallery displays images in high resolution and provides sub threads to dicuss individual images no matter where they appear in the main forums. Smartphone friendly, you can upload images direct from phone or wifi connection from your camera. Modern private messaging system akin to phone texting."

To pick up Eric's point about footfall - yes we can find out where they come from but that will mean adding a statcounter to the site - is everyone happy that I do this?

This is the sort of stats you get - not overly detailed but you can see where they come from and what link took them there - facebook, google, whatever -

OK, I can understand that, I was just trying to get a bit more meat on the PLUS idea. 
We could just as easily create a montage of equipment from those manufacturers (including JK's Fuji) along the lines of the current page header.
