    We don't just need a new logo, we need an updated name!

    I posted the following reply in one of pajazzle's wrestling posts.
    While I was writing it I thought that many people wouldn't see it, so I decided it was worth a thread of its own, to better get peoples opinions.

    The dedicated wrestling thread, as well as the racing thread are now long overdue!
    We have pajazzle and gazza regularly posting updates and tips, so lets encourage them.
    With the amount of traffic on the site lately it can't hurt having specific threads for those interested in specific topics to go straight to.
    Since the upgrade changes there seems to be even less going on here than before?
    The answer is we need posters with something to say, not just copy and paste members, who add nothing of themselves to their pasted article!
    Some people are calling for a new logo, well to be honest we need a new NAME, like World of Entertainment, for example!

    I would be interested to know peoples opinions of both a name change and specific dedicated threads for some subjects, rather than topics being lumped together in the general threads?

    I have made the poll results public, in the hope of generating discussion and ideas as to why people voted as they did
    Please respond to the poll and post your opinions, it is our site after all! Hidden Content

    I agree I also think the site is waaay too cluttered and needs some cleaning up. For example why not post the mut codes and code dumps in the bsx keygen and tvx keygen respectively. Also loads of unused sections I think and id like to know what everyone else thinks of the new site look? im not really liking it i always change it to vb4 default style

    Its not possible to post in keygen pages, these are custom areas and would require manually adding, and as those who post codes dont have access its not practical.

    The tab system has now streamlined the clutter so to speak, plus we are still working on the site, this will be ongoing over the next week or so, rome wasnt built in a day.

    On the point of changing the sites name, this would be completely impractical, the site name has existed now for many years, it would be like starting up a new site, we would loose all search engine and other presences on the Hidden Content I think the name is fine, just give us chance to complete the sites upgrades, dont forget that the post for suggestions is still open to add to.

    IMVHO, WoD needs some search engine optimisation (SEO) not a name change.

    In terms of PageRank WoD has a value of 1, red's site has a PR of 5. Even Mick's site has a PR of 2. This is actually reflected in the number of members for each site. In theory: better SEO = more members = more unique views a day = better PageRank = better higher clickthrough rate for Gary on the adverts.

    It's been a while since I looked at the current SEO trends, but will attempt to catch up over the next few days and hopefully come back with some suggestions.

    OK Gazer, you have the last word in the end, however I personally think it may be a bit shortsighted?
    We that care are trying to help update and generate interest in the site, which as it stands seems to be a bit lacking lately, bar a few regular true posters?

    Your comment, put in such a final way effectively kills this thread, therefore making further discussion pointless, at a time when we need to promote debates on any subject to keep the site interesting. Otherwise people copy and paste an article, add no comment on it themselves, then if their lucky someone will press the thanks button and that's it, yet more one post threads, which we have quite enough of!

    Other sites change their name, but existing links still redirect to them until the new name gets established and bookmarked by interested parties!
    Would those of you who are so adamant about not changing the name care to expand more on why not?
    Or is it just the usual "all change is bad syndrome"?

    If admin feels they would rather just close the thread, that's your prerogative, but at least you can't say I didn't try to work with you for the good of the site?

    Re: We don't just need a new logo, we need an updated name!

    D, I've realised that no one has pointed out the current name reflects the URL. As red hinted, a new URL would set WoD back to a PageRank of 0. Changing just the name to, for example, digipedia or enterpedia runs the risk of confusing, and losing, anyone that doesn't visit regularly, e.g. those that rediscover the site when admin send an email to members.

    Though some are members on all three, I've deliberately not named the two other sites. But like WoD, all have 'digital' in their title and URL and ultimately have similar forum contents. With the apparent death of illegal cable, WoD appears to have suffered more than others in the inevitable downturn. Having said that WoD members seem to have a large amount of technical knowledge across the forum. The problem seems to be getting new members to join to ask the questions. In this way it's a catch 22 - we need people to ask the questions to build up the search ranking, and we need the search ranking to get people here to ask the questions. This is where SEO should help...

    FWIW the tech you named in the other thread are all digital devices Hidden Content

    Thanks for that great explanation pob, these are things I have no idea about so its nice when someone takes the time to explain. Hidden Content

    I see the Catch 22 situation in this now and some of the questions people might want to ask (CS), they cant for the reasons we all know!

    OK
    Over the years from starting WoD up in 2006, I’ve put a lot of my own money and time into trying to get WoD to be one of the best digital sites on the internet.
    And we were doing ok for some years until cable died a death a few months back and members stopped coming...... so what do we do as a team....add more money to try and start over again and try to get WoD back on the right road once again.

    The team have put money and loads of their time in this place over the last few days to try and do what our members want ..... Which was to upgrade WoD add new stuff to the forums and try to make it a better place for you the members to visit and enjoy.

    We are still working on the forums at the moment trying to improve it where we can.....we have only just got half way and still working on this.......and yes we are looking at what our members are asking for and doing what we can.

    As for the name change like i said that will not happen.
    It cost ?1,000 per year to run WoD and I’m not prepared to put 5 years down the drain to start again from the bottom of the rankings with a new name, when most of our topics on here are to do with digital items anyway.

    We will look at anything else to improve WoD like new logo's new topics, new ways of getting nao thinner....... YES.

    We will look at anything that we think will help us grow once again, as all we want as a team is the same as you guys which is to have a busy forum 24/7 and get what we can for free in a world where we are being ripped off by these big fat money grabbing companies that are out there.

    My bed time.

    Regards Gazer

    Re: We don't just need a new logo, we need an updated name!

    Many thanks for that Gazer.
    I really appreciate your honesty and taking the time to explain that.
    Since little_pob explained how, I now know what seemed to me to be just a simple name change, would have much more of an impact on all things site related than I realized.

    I appreciate the work everyone has put into the site, both now and over all the years. That current work is of course on the inside for the benefit of all our members.
    The name change idea was meant to draw new and renew old, interest in the site, so that more potential members came to look inside, see the changes or improvements and want to be part of us.
    I have said previously that I am against general advertising on the site, mainly because I find them irritating on some other sites I am on. I believe that while advertising would bring in revenue, it could also work against us and put off bringing in possible new members.
    Having been negative on that idea, I did want to provide something I thought positive to bring new attention to the site and all we offer.

    I now see that it was not such a good idea as I first thought, for reasons I was unaware of.
    Sorry!
