okay straight down to buisness, frankly I dislike picks saying "will anda sertai this spot" atau messages from people advertising sites and spots. If people have a real interest in the spot they will find it themselves, same goes for websites but i understand that there's no point to a spot if your the only member and anda have no one to talk about your passion with and since we're all one big Fanpop family the lebih of us the merrier a spot generally is, so rather than whining about it i have decided to offer up some solutions. Although the annoying person with in me still feels the need to put in some 'don't' but i promise not to go on too long :D I will try and say what i do want to see and will give pujian if i see people actually taking this Nasihat on board

firstly before i start, the big no, no, please don't send people messages advertising spots and sites, it’s annoying and I’m sure everyone wants a spam free Fanpop

links

The most obvious way to mengiklankan a spot atau website is to put some pautan up, i think three is the most can anda can put up of the same link (rightly so) so use them wisely, the best way to do this is not to put them in unrelated, popular spots like Fanpop but to put them in different related spots,
e.g. if anda had made a spot for a tv character, it has no relation to Fanpop so don't link it to Fanpop (this is technically miscategorized) instead why not put a link to the tunjuk iself, a link to the spot of the actor/actress who plays that character, anda don't necessarily have to put as many as anda can but I guess if anda really wanted to anda could then put a link to a popular couple they are involved in

picks

another big no, no for me is the "will anda sertai the so and so spot" pick, there really is no point to these picks, they are not opinionated and won't get anymore advertising than links, just lebih comments, again they're annoying and spammy

the reason why people like picks so much is to state their opinion and so creating a none opinion pick will not draw in the interest, interesting picks will draw in interest

e.g. if i were to create a spot for the brilliant dave lui i could ask in the Fanpop users spot

"what's your kegemaran thing about dave"

and then put a link in the komen-komen

atau again in the Fanpop users spot

link

and then pick dave and say something like "that's why i created the dave spot" and then link,

it's easy standard pick stuff atau if anda want anda can get really creative and slip it in anywhere e.g. anda could ask in the picks spot

link

then pick dave and link

the same aspect can be applied to tv characters atau anything e.g.

i created the spot for the tunjuk link (oh yes i'm even advertising right now, i'm that good ;p) and even though it has not come out yet i could ask in the Televisyen spot

"which new tunjuk are anda most looking ke hadapan to coming out?" and then link

atau in the amy acker spot

"which amy acker co bintang did anda like best" then pick eliza dushku and say "i'm looking ke hadapan to seeing them together again in the new tunjuk dollhouse" and then link

articles

okay now i really don't want to see artikel and forum saying

"you should sertai the dave lu spot because it's awesome"

that's not a article! and not really a forum

what anda could do is write a artikel about your passion e.g. if anda created a spot for pigeon racing anda could write a artikel about your own achievements in the sport and put in some imej with anda and the pigeons in the Fanpop users spot and then as always put a link below

Of for a tunjuk if created a spot of one couple vs. another couple, anda could write a artikel comparing the couples and then link

other little tips and bits

If your really struggling for peminat-peminat here’s a few other tips

-you could put a link to the spot under ‘websites’ on your profil page

-you could say something about your passion in your moto on your profil page

-you could use a avatar/icon of your passion

-there are loads of forum about advertising including link atau one to link

-you could ever try bribing us sejak saying it contains picture of john in his chaps

-the lebih pop kuiz soalan anda ask the better chance anda have of people coming across them in the 'super quiz'

Finally THE NUMBER ONE way to get lebih peminat-peminat on to a spot is to add loads of brilliant, amazing content

imej on the front page, forum on the front page, picks on the front page, pop kuiz on the front page will all be noticed, even better if anda add some brilliant video atau artikel-artikel and have them featured

okay that's my say and some ideas, don't use all of these that would be a bit excessive just pick a couple that anda could do best :D

EDIT:when i wrote this artikel there wasn't a dave spot but there now is so i guess this was a bit of advertisement for that too
