SURYADEV Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I've noticed over the last year(s) or so that SA.com has gone very quiet. Many years ago this was a brilliantly informative forum with real spiritual/cultural discussions by serious participants. The calibre was so good that I didn't need to write a thing, just read the debates and soak up the knowledge. This was the only site I could relate to and learn real knowledge from. Now, however, quality has gone south. There are no more spiritual postings, no more photos of rare sikhi gems, no more 'secret' sikhi being uncovered. This forum is now on par with the likes of other mediocre sites. There are way to much postings on sikh (dirty) politics; slagging off others and general (s/)chit-chat. Most of the real knowledgeable guys seem to have just disappeared from here. Many would respond - and maybe rightly so - why dont I do something about it. My answer: simply put, there is not much I can offer , compared to what used to be posted here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdsingh80 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Well for effective running of site New members should always come as many old members leave the site.Unfortunately SEO of SA is very poor.Hardly any topic of SA comes in search engine of google.So ask n30 singh ji to do SEO of SA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I understand your frustrations guys..I agree with jattbot observations..will work on it to get more people on it and bring more quality posts...most of quality posters now have their blogs which they more concentrated on..understandable. Well work on something guys...stay tuned. Sorry for being door knob...but what is SEO? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdsingh80 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 SEO is search engine optimisation.It is must for any site to run .If you compare SPN with SA you will find SPN pages appearing on First page of google while searching sikh topics I never come across Sikhawareness appearing on first 4-5 pages of Google. You can do SEO of your own site or you can ask companies to do it which could charge anywheree from 10$ to thousands of dollar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jatboot, It isn't right to expect other people to do all the running and be spoon fed (not saying you do this btw). People have to try and contribute. Plus people come and go, look at Bahadhur Ali for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylitol Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I don't see any ads on this site at all. One way to get more hits is to have more incoming links from other sites to SA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsingh101 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Don't see any adverts either for the record. Which isn't a bad thing in one way really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SURYADEV Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 are adsense those little ads that dot around the screen? If so I think you need to be careful with them. Seen some on various sikhi sites advertising supplements to enlarge certain parts of the male body. also on one of yogi bhajans sites there was one linking to a site to prove how he was a fraud! LOL Dalsingh, your'e right there, maybe I need to change first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsingh101 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 This site is actually a bit more intellectual than most Sikh ones. Maybe that contributes to the lower hits? lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chatanga1 Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 one poster i havent heard from for many moons is Matheen. Has he left? or is on vacation? I have asked some people, younger sikhs if they go on any forums. what i gathered after talking to them, SA unfortunately in the wider cyber sangat is percieved as a snatan-sikh site, so some especialy younger sikhs are reluctant to join. They all run to SS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SURYADEV Posted June 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 This site is like a hidden gem. Repository of lots of good stuff as well as some of my crap. lol Well said Dalsingh, on both accounts! On one hand its a good thing that this site is somewhat elite with fewer, knowledgeable and wiser members having serious discussions. On the otherhand, its the younger kids, who tend to veer towards the hotheaded sites, that we need attract here and to keep away from some of the unsavoury, if not the plain wrong stuff that is talked about on other sites. Also because this site is hidden in bowels of the internet any prospective new 'sikh-chatters' (if you can call it that,) tend to go to the popular sites that full of tweenagers, talking of the evil that is Hinduism, what currency Khalistan should be using and why teachers dont allow them to wear a kirpan over their school uniform. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what you want to save them from? Take those things away and you'll take away the foundation of what passes off as Sikhi for the masses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
