We had one listed initially, but some jerks decided that it would be fun to try and hack the box it was hosted on, so we took it offline. I'm going to throw another one up now that we're operating on a much more hardened box. Give me 5-10 minutes.
 
Hi Oldenstylehats

Couple of noob questions, if I may?

- Is it possible to STOP the public from joining the FG-created forum (so it looks like closed membership, but publicly viewable)? I'm thinking if you're creating several of these, purely for backlinks, you might not want to be moderating them and fending off spammers

- How niche can it practically go (at the moment). For example if you take a big topic like "online trading" would it work best at that top level, or could you produce a well-populated FG-forum for something more focussed, like "CFD Trading"... or perhaps a localised version, like "Forex Trading for UK Traders"?

EDIT - a better way of asking the question might be to relate it to monthly searches. Obviously it's difficult to generalise, but roughly speaking if you have a topic that has 100,000 searches per month would that produce a good FG forum? What about 20,000.... and so on?

Hope that makes sense? :)

With phpBB's administrative control panel (ACP) you can lock forums from non-generated members joining and everything else should work as normal. Forum Generator interacts directly with phpBB's database, so locks on the web sign-ups don't directly effect it.

Forum Generator is actually pretty good at picking up both, but the more general the subject, the more likely it is that Forum Generator will pick up a large number of posts. With the examples you've given, you'd have success with "CFD trading", "online trading", but not with "Forex Trading for UK Traders" not because you wouldn't get posts about Forex Trading for UK traders, but because FG is matching the actual keywords with the language in the post. In some cases long tail keywords don't yield as high quality results as shorter ones do. For example, "UK forex" would yield some pretty good results for "Forex Trading for UK Traders."

Hopefully that makes sense and thank you for the interest!

The more popular the subject, the more posts FG will be able to track down for that subject. However, setting your forum to the slower speed settings through FG can still yield nice forums for more obscure subjects, you just won't have the huge amount of posts in a short amount of time.
 
Thanks, I've purchased it

My first BH investment :)

Been doing White Hat SEO and Wordpress site-building for about 18 months, so hopefully I'll be able to pick it up. But any additional handholding and tips will be very welcome.

Just got the confirmation email, off to download it

I guess it would depend on the nature of the commercial website. The users that Forum Generator creates won't respond to a real user directly, obviously, but if you were just planning on using it to promote a commercial website via SEO, then yet, it could be effective.
 
OSH - can FG be set up on one server and post to forums created on another server ?
