Congrats on coming over to xenForo. You will love it.

 

[Carlos]

Quite a lot of forums you've got in there.

 

[Peggy]

Very interesting topics.

As for the style, you'll need to tweak the colors to coordinate with your header, which I like alot.
Good luck with your forum.

 

[AnthonyCea]

Home page looks great.

How did that develop, what did you use to build it ??

 

[Jethro]

Congrats on coming out of the clos..... opps wrong forum.

On the home page, there's a bunch of writing right down the bottom that I can't read at all.

Good luck with the new forums

 

[Kim]

Congrats!

I agree with Peggy, your logo is fabulous, would be great to see the forum theme better fit with it

Home page looks great.

HAHA - The front page looks like a joke... the footer and all of it's "hidden" links and text and a common thing called keyword stuffing.

To the OP - you'll do nothing but hurt yourself in search engines.

 

[AnthonyCea]

LOL, I did not see the hidden links until I looked closer, you are right about the negative SEO that will result.

PS: My eyes must be shot, at 52 I finally need to break down and get some prescription glasses.

 

[Peggy]

Dang guys, could you be a bit nicer? Instead of calling his homepage a "joke" how about offering some constructive advice.
Not everyone knows as much as you seem to.

I don't see how. I see some sites using keywords as part of the page.

And peggy's right. She always knows what to say. Don'tcha sweets!?

 

[AnthonyCea]

Take the hidden links down ??

OK Peggy ??

Carlos, hidden links are against Google guidelines.

No not always hun. But when it comes to just being nice, I don't see what's so hard about it.

You mean as some of them pretend to? Immaturity at best.

Carlos, hidden links are against Google guidelines.

Actually, I found alot of addresses to sites that he supports, but hardly any live links. Is that the same thing?

Ouch. That's a good burn.

That is called keyword stuffing which is also against Google guidelines and will get your site removed from their search index.

My point is, instead of calling his homepage a joke, why not point out what kewword stuffing is and why it's bad. He might not know.

The way things are approached could mean the difference between actually helping someone, and driving them away. That's all I'm saying.

Look, the member did this guy a favor, some people don't like strong medicine but it works in most cases.

heheh yeah you go on thinking that.
