I guess success would be if OB was THE place to go for Orchid Information. Just like, if you want to find info on the net you go to Google!
This would mean, that
- people that are into orchids, would have to know about us. Many have no clue that OB even exists. If you would like to help, contact your favourite orchid sites to include us in their links and let them know about OrchidTopSites.com.
- we need to create a self governed community that is friendly and knowledgeable and one that is willing to share, without any political games or BS (I think we already have this!)
- need to figure out how to convert the people that never join, read what interests them and leave, without adding to the pool of knowledge. The "lurkers". We have about 200-300 unique guests that visit us daily and never say a word.
but probably, what we need the most are
- new members. More people, means more orchid conversation and more participation. More members
- equals more posts. When we have more meaningful posts, search engines index us higher and we become easier to find on various topics. Which in turn, brings more members
- we need more front page articles. Those are great for improved search engine rankings and also bringing more people. (see for yourself, type in 'orchid apple pie' in google or 'orchid air management')
If OB is to succeed and become the TOP place for Orchid Info and THE Top Orchid hangout, we need as many posting people in our community as possible. Currently we're experiencing very nice growth (about 100-150 new members per month). There's no doubth in my mind that we can do it! We already have the best community with the best forum features - just not many know about us
