Trying to see if cross posting Blogs into Forums may have a positive impact on Traffic

[Bouargh]

Hi,

 

Since the discussion we got into private chats, it made me think about looking ahead if cross-posting in a more systematic way BLOG entries into FORUMs may lead to any kind of change in habits/traffic.

My first attempts are in the following areas:

• 12 Months of Hobby - easy to implement and to align with the way the topic and challenge is working.
  BLOG: Volkus Scenery - Part 2 - Bouargh´s miniatures´ closet clean-up - The Bolter and Chainsword
  vs.
  FORUM: =] 12 Months of Hobby 2025 [= - Page 4 - + WORKS IN PROGRESS + - The Bolter and Chainsword
• A kind of Edito/Wish list in the Drukhari forum.
  BLOG: Another digression - This time about Drukharii - Bouargh´s miniatures´ closet clean-up - The Bolter and Chainsword
  vs.
  FORUM: Drukhari Wish List - + DRUKHARI + - The Bolter and Chainsword

 

 

In both cases anyone could see how much Tags (Likes...) can be collected in both areas and how much comments are posted either into each Forums or bellow each Blog entry. With the idea to promote views and visits in the Blog of course . From a cualitative point of view, one can have a look at a few days or a few weeks. 

 

Since we talk of behavioural aspects, I do not expect any visible impact a short term. It will need maybe a more sistematic discipline in my Blog entries´ managment over the next months.

 

While I am writting these lines, I realize that these 2 Forum areas are maybe not the most representative:

• Hobby related areas have a rapid turnover, inc. 12 MoH, which makes tahta impact is probably worth being looked at short term only. But one can repeat the action one and again.
• Xenos forums are not the ost active in the whole B&C forums, which makes that impact maybe very delayed and/or volume of feedback intrinsically limited  

 

Let´s see if cross posting bring fruits...

I did wonder what you were up to when I saw similar posts in the unread feed.

 

Really you could do with a few more of us doing similar to get better feedback. Though really my wip thread is the only applicable one in my case as I don't have any other posts in the other sub forums that would match.
