Are niche-based webmaster forums the way to go now?

Filed under: Webmaster — admin @ 11:31 pm

We all know that Digitalpoint & Sitepoint are the two largest webmaster communities on the web today - but they’re not dedicated to just one style of webmasters, but they cater to every single webmaster online that’s trying to get into the game - or earn money from their websites, however, over the past few months we’ve been very active on forum-owners communities, and myspace-owners communities, such as The admin zone and myspace pros. Not only is The admin zone the largest community online for forum owners - it brings all the forum owners into one great community.

The same can be said for myspacepros - but its dedicated to myspace webmasters - who own myspace sites. So, the question remains, are niche-based webmaster forums the way to go now - in order to compete with the big dogs, or can one still manage to run a massive webmaster community - even though running a webmasters-based community is such a competitive market? We’ll let you guys decide this one.

Whateverlife.com now whatever crap?

Filed under: Webmaster — admin @ 10:50 pm

According to a user on Myspace pros, one of the most popular myspace fansites on the web dedicated to myspace users, Whateverlife.com has been losing traffic big time over the past few months - but do you think has been the major reason for their huge decline in traffic?

Well, we all know Ashley was the talk of town back in September - November of 2006, but now without all the media attention, her site’s traffic has been going down. Is it just us - or are less myspace users going to her site now, because its lacking in content - and isn’t talked about much anymore? We’re clueless, but one thing is for certain - with Whateverlife’s current design, their traffic will continue to go downhill, unless something major happens - such as; a major site rehaul, which results in a new design - with less graphics, that load faster for all internet users - such as; ones that are using dial up. We feel sorry for all the dial up users that are currently trying to access Whateverlife.com - but why use her site, when you can try the other myspace sites?

Now let’s look back on Whateverlife’s success - and what made the site popular. about whateverlife

One day, I was working on my website (when I just had a personal portfolio and basic graphics/tutorial website), and I decided that I enjoyed created Myspace.com layouts (after all of my friends begged for custom ones!!!). After that, few people used them, but I began to see more and more visitors popping onto my website. I was shocked, and still continued to create layouts. Ever since then, I’ve fallen in love with the possibilities in designing and coding! So fun!

The myspace layouts that Whateverlife currently offers all myspace users - are what made Ashley’s site so popular, but what about generators and such? She doesn’t offer them really - even though other myspace sites have grown popular because of them.

So, what do you guys think has hurt Whateverlife’s traffic over the past few months? The ads? Not a whole lot of new content? Give us your reason.

AdminFusion is for sale

Filed under: Webmaster — admin @ 1:22 pm

Looks like Admin fusion couldn’t handle the fierce competition with The admin zone because they’re now selling out at Sitepoint.

Their buy it now is set at $27,500.. Do you guys think AdminFusion will sell for their buy out price - or will they settle for less like $8,000 or so? Lee Dodd and Ryan couldn’t make AF as popular as they thought they could - and the reason why they’re selling Admin Fusion was posted on their sales thread:

This forum is co-owned and my parter is busy with life and school. We both feel it is time to move on. I don’t see why he wouldn’t as long as he has time available. Yes, we will happily sign a non-compete. Yes, it was posted up to the staff first and posted up to the community today. My company, Escalate Media, owns many forums. None of them compete with AF though.

Such a shame really, we wonder who will buy out AdminFusion - and if they’ve owned forums in the past and how popular they are.

So, do you think AdminFusion will go to a good or a bad owner?
