Turkish electronics forum, need some tips

[taydin]

Hello folks, I have created a Turkish language electronics forum, mainly to motivate our youth here to move their butt's and do something useful with their lives

It is here: http://mekatronik.org/forum/

I used Simple Machines Forum software, just like this excellent forum uses. I don't have any commercial ambitions for this forum, the goal is strictly "giving back to my community". But still, it needs to be discovered by the Turkish youth, and the way it is right now, Google doesn't return search results for it.

I keep adding content to it, which is mainly "how to" articles, common gotchas in electronics, building a basic electronics labs. I am seeing "visitors" when I look at the stats, but I think those are bots or crawlers, not real people. How can I promote this forum? Should I just keep adding content and wait for it to be eventually picked up in Google?

Good job on the forum! If you don’t want to spend money on marketing yes, create as much content as you can, but also get others to post links to your site. Hope Dave Jones here notices your post and gives you tips. Posting youtube content and linking back to site and such...

Thanks, I will definitely keep adding content. Creating a youtube channel and linking back to the forum is a great idea! Some concepts are much easier explained in a video than writing paragraphs. Especially considering how impatient the kids are nowadays, wouldn't want them to read lengthy paragraphs to learn how to solder

  As a member of Turkish youth I heard you created a forum from here,
maybe this is a way, only whisper it about and
surely hide news where the youth never suspect to look at.

Good luck, karaapak from kontrolkalemi forum. = (in Turkish) Hay?rl? olsun hocam, kontrolkalemi'nden karaapak.
