The forum is much better than a chat room.
Whenever something is posted on a forum, google and the other search engines pick it up. That's why we have excellent positions on the search engines for our English and Hebrew forums. The more that is posted and the more traffic we get, the better our position.
However, google and the search engines do not pick up anything that is posted in chat rooms. Once you have finished chatting, it disappears forever.
Chaim, WHERE do you think members are coming from? CHAT ROOMS. It is a FACT. Ask Masterwolf. This WILL make JTF BIGGER. Look at Jaaaman, he is a friend of mine. I have so many people here from paltalk alone. Republicandox, ALSO from AOL- if you want this BIGGER, a HUGE chatroom is the way to go- PLUS, you CAN SAVE THE WHOLE ROOM TEXT from the whole day Chaim. So, I have to disagree- STRONGLY
Paulette, if people on the chat saved the entire text every day and then copied and pasted it onto a daily thread on the forum, then it would be picked up by the search engines. If we can make sure that someone does that every day, that would be helpful.
I know chat rooms are public, but having things on google is more. Many would consider it an invasion of privacy.
And the level of text chat on paltalk is very poor. Paltalk is primarily a voice chat, the people that use it are not much good at typing, or they are too lazy to type. And the chats aren't easy to follow with pure text, because it's often somebody on the mic and another person responding in text.
People wouldn't pay any attention to text unless they know the person saying it.. And if so they won't be reading it off google. If they know the person.
The user base on paltalk is very political, many on the christian right. Lots of anti islam rooms. Ripe for JTF.
The people there value voice, and are very good on the mic. So that is also ideal for JTF.
Also many many messianic/j4j people unfortunately.
