Serious question: What is the going rate for board whores?

first 50 on GFY

woa i was way off :/

good luck baddog with your new venture sounds interesting!

Thanks for the kind words, BMK. We're continuously improving our writers' content creation and SEO-related skills through monthly workshops and several skillsbuilding inhouse assignments. We also now filter all work through a two-stage editing process.

Re thread topic: Actually, we've done mass forum SEO-related work before. Speaking from experience, it is definitely a challenge since it involves three interrelated tasks in order to pull it off--keyword triggers, mini-articles, and 'pillar' articles. This involves training key writers to focus on content and other writers to focus on 'support'/'shaping' the forum. It is definitely quite a lot of work and involves a lot of trial and error and inhouse experimentation and se traffic tracking. The only advice I can give is to a) select topics and subtopics strategically (not just because they are high PPC targets) b) research the right keyword-related topics to serve as 'thread food' for REAL posters and c) employ differing online personality 'archetypes' to shape each forum's personality.

We've definitely gone a long way from the "Klikwhore" drama days. There's more than meets the eye when using forums to generate mainstream user traffic/SE benefits.

I wish BD and others embarking on similar ventures the best!

I would like to know, so i can charge 4 times that!

Gene, if you want to see the network hit me up on ICQ and then you can determine if you think your people are qualified for this or not.

I am not looking for keyword rich posts, just more activity.
