Expansion is the key, and extending your reach is far better to contemplate!

For some reason I had always ignored them and only used them temporarily when I had a question. But there is a sense of community when you get familiar with other leaving the posts also.

For $300 I guess it's affordable. I have to tight my belt to purchase that script. Let me know if Social Network site will really do good in Adsense. thanks.

I use websitetoolbox.com for my Forum at $19.99 per every 3 months because it's easy for people like me (tech challenged) to use and no long commitment. I use statcounter.com which provides free statistics for all the pages. My problem is 98% of my comments are on my Forum only. Does this mean my blogs are terrible? They both get close to the same page views. Is this unique because my site is consumer related and the Forum is mostly for complaints about businesses? Thanks for the informative post to get my brain started up again. The Video post seems like my next addition. I started out with a Website, Forum and Blog.

But I do feel like regular visitors to my blog want to talk about sort of the stuff I'm talking about, but not really. I'm gonna ask around and see, but I thought I'd ask here: if I can get a few people to say they'd be interested in having a blog-related forum, should I go ahead and create one? It seems like something you do once you have an audience, but the causality might work in reverse in a case or two, no? I don’t have anywhere near the readership to take this advice.
