Antiams:As this is a new forum and I think at the initial stages would be visited by Maltese I would suggest to offer affiliates with other forums. My friend's forum has an open policy in that you can offer to advertise your forum for free. It is an international forum on Bettas and other Labyrinth fish and in no way it would 'compete' with this forum. There is the likelihood that members from the forum would benefit in both ways. I must add that members of this forum are not Maltese with the exception of a few. The rest come from the Far East, UK, Canada and the US along with Brazil, Hungary etc. What do you think? If you agree I would give you the link to it.
Hi Antiams, thank you for your suggestion. We shall discuss this in a committee meeting that we will have. Nevertheless i do not entirely agree with your statement and the affiliates program. Firstly the forum is actually made up of 60% Maltese, International members are already present in the Forum as from several contacts made in the past.
I was already aware of such affiliates program unfortunately such programs are a grace for spammers and business network members, for which neither myself nor any other member of the administration is willing to jeopardise the forum. We already have our own method of 'promotion'.
Thanks again
