Design Forums - Graphic Design & Web Design Forums

Greg · Post 1 Posted 22-10-08

Hi everyone,

Yep you guessed it, a shameless attempt by Design Forums to get you guys, the members to blog about us!

As you know by now Design Forums is a completely ad free venture, so attracting members to the site through our own advertising is very difficult to do, as we simply don't have the budget to spend out on paid advertising.

That said the site has been attracting a lot of interest from designers through Twitter status updates, CSS galleries, and general word of mouth. If you could spare a couple of minutes to make a short blog post about Design Forums it would go a long way in helping us spread the word about the site, attract more members and generally make the site an even greater place to hang out and discuss design.

Any links to the site for phrases such as Design Forum, Design Forums, Graphic Design Forum or Web Design Forum would be fantastic and would help DF with our SEO efforts.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this request, it really is appreciated!

Cheers, Greg

To start the ball rolling, I've made a post on my personal blog - Design Forums is live!

I will continue to recommend it whenever I have the opportunity!
Thanks, Greg

I am planning on doing a blog post for tomorrow, saying about the best of October, and I normally do this every month, and in that I always put about new companies/things, so I will definately add this, so watch out

Greg · Post 8 Posted 31-10-08

That's great thanks Craig, was actually just looking at your blog and noticed your Best of September post on there, good stuff. Cheers, Greg

Yeah, there are many great blogs out there, so I like to let my readers see the best things I think of the month, I am due to do that for October tomorrow, but the redesign of my blog is my main priority at the moment.

I did a quick blog about DF last night on my newly design blog.

Heres hoping it sends some traffic this way.
