Introduce Yourself!

[Steve]

Introduce yourself here if you're new.

(The old introduction threads will be dealt with elsewhere.)

[AProblemLikeMaria]

hi :) i'm Maria / APLM / A Problem Like Maria.

bandcamp: aproblemlikemaria.bandcamp.com
tumblr: a-problem-like-maria.tumblr.com

looking for peopleto work with, hopefully on a semi-regular basis.

i'm really bad with introductions and figuring out what i want to
say about myself so i guess i'll stop here and hope that my music
speaks for itself. <3

[ThornBrain]

Welcome Maria :)
I look forward to the music you contribute to the label. Is most of your work collaborative?

HI I`M STEVE FROM USA JUST JOIN YOUR FORUM AND PERSONALLY I LIKE IT

[appypaddy]

Hi friends,

 I appypaddy, I live in california,I have completed B.Tech.

[Therazoredge]

I might as well.

So i'm the new kid in these fairly slow forums, known by many people on the internet as therazoredge. I make those videos that take the well-known term of "youtube poops", except i like to use the other term, "video remixes", so if you see me use this term, don't be confused. I'm an avid player of the "video tennis" game, and i'm also a regular of the tennis cafe on youchew. If you'd like to play me, i'll catch back with you later, since i do have about twenty tennis matches in progress.

yea

[Steve]

Welcome! I remember trying to use "video remix" instead, and YouChew wasn't very happy with that, since it sounded too "serious" and took away from the immaturity which a lot of them have a basis in. However, you're welcome to use the term here!

Enjoy your stay!

i know razor. hi razor!

[Steve]

Ah, welcome! Your name seems familiar, like you were either on or mentioned of on YouChew.

[RAK]

FP, he's the one who took over my role in the cafe and tennis section.  like, not just as Frick who does all the work, but also king dick Frick.

and amazingly, he has never taken me on....  to be honest i think he's scared to ;D






just kidding gendo, i know its because of conflicting sources.  good thing that's not so much a problem these days.

edit..... there's a wordfilter on?!?!?

[ChrisGendo]

it's more laziness on my end frankly, rak. lol

but yeah, i'm the psuedo head yellow name on youchew.

word filter? lemmie try. dick Frick cock vagina shit ass virgin

[Steve]

Ah, I think I remember that!

edit..... there's a wordfilter on?!?!?

Yeah, I tried that to see if it would help SEO, and it seems to have helped a little. I've definitely got mixed feelings about it myself.

how's it help, by cutting out all the porn?  analytics and such was in its infancy during my days as a webmaster, so i still think that filling out metadata with every vulgar phrase you can think of is a good way to attract traffic ;D

[Steve]

Well, some stuff that people search for are more likely to get clicked on than others, and we haven't gotten a lot of clicks due to profanity; that sort of thing gets more clicks when accompanied by other keywords we don't have.

By default, Google has safesearch on moderate, so heavy profanity could remove us from results of basic things we're actually about here. Google also seems to favor sites with less profanity, and after I put the filter on, I saw (on average) about a 10-15 percent increase in impressions.

now, i take it this increase is a substantial number?  10% of 1000 is a lot more significant than 10% of 30.

not that im really complaining or anything, look how long it took for me to notice after all.  it just caught me off guard when i saw the name for tennis staff as a different word ;D

I was just guessing with 10%... This graph was mostly at 4,500 impressions a day, and about two weeks after I put the filter on, it rose to 5,500 impressions a day. This is only forum impressions. The site overall gets about 8,000 to 10,000 impressions a day. (If you can't see the full graph, click on it.)
