Don't make any judgements based on the post quality at The Postloop Portal. The majority of posters there never make it into Postloop. We use that as a place to weed out bad posters.
Once you're accepted, you become an inactive user on the Portal, meaning you no longer get points for posting there. http://www.postloop.com/community/i...onger-earn-points-in-the-postloop-portal.627/Has the Postloop and the Postloop Portal stopped teaming? This morning the Portal was no longer on my list of subscribed sites.
Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering the same thing.Once you're accepted, you become an inactive user on the Portal, meaning you no longer get points for posting there. http://www.postloop.com/community/i...onger-earn-points-in-the-postloop-portal.627/
Hey all, I'm the owner of Postloop. I appreciate the kind words that everybody has to offer. Very much appreciated
Brett - just curious if you don't me asking, which forum of yours did you submit to Postloop?
Quality did used to be a big problem at Postloop. I'll be the first to admit it. The past month or two, however, we have introduced quite a few features and processes that have turned that around significantly, and if all you know is post quality at Postloop from 1-2 months ago, I invite you to come take another look. We (Postloop) almost hand pick posters now. They have to go through our forums before they are approved for posting in any other forums. We do have to find a happy balance somewhere - we don't require everybody to be the next William Shakespeare. If we did that, we couldn't offer the low prices that we do offer. We still do sacrifice a little bit of quality in order to keep our prices down...but I honestly do think that the post quality that you find at Postloop will be significantly better than the quality you'll find in any paid posting service or post exchange, and Postloop is also significantly cheaper than any paid posting service I've ever seen. We also expect our forum owners to be proactive in encouraging and policing quality in their forums. There are a lot of tools and features at Postloop that you can use to garnish higher quality posts...and if you don't use those tools properly, you may not get what you're looking for.
If nobody ever mentions Postloop in your forums, how will anybody know? The Postloop forum listings are blocked from search engines to ensure that your forums never show up on Postloop when somebody searches for them on Google.
My only point was that he hasn't made the effort to make his menu appetizing enough to attract regular passersby who glance at the menu to come in to eat. That's a prerequisite for anyone opening up a restaurant. That's all I said. Now of you're insisting to all of us that you'll provide people willing to patronize that very bland menu, I'll question whether those patrons have a clue as to how food is supposed to taste.TheLaw, what are you basing this off of? Being that you haven't used Postloop yourself, you don't know what kind of posts are contributed. That's like looking at food you've never had before and saying you don't like it. You don't know that until you try it.
That's a pretty low bar to set but, again, that's not my point. It's only that he can't expect anyone to cure his problem of not having any compelling content good enough to attract any reasonable person to make a comment. GIGO. In order to get any type of good UGC, you need to at least plant the seeds to make it grow.I guarantee that the post quality you see at Postloop will exceed your personal experience with post exchanges or paid posting services.
Ryan... where did I ever criticize the service? Read my post again... slowly. Your being defensive about post quality is all your own doing.Does Postloop represent genuine content and genuine members? Absolutely not, and nowhere do we claim that it does. It is only to be used as a supplement and a way to spark activity elsewhere in your forums. Postloop is not for everybody, but those who do use it need to understand how to use it...and if they rely on it to solely drive their forums, they will not benefit.
