Calling all webmasters! There’s a new webmasters forum in town, Webmaster Serve. There are always new webmaster forums being created, but I think this one has a fighting chance. Webmaster Serve was created by the same guys that brought you UKWF, a popular webmaster forum run in the UK.
Forum Categories
The main forum categories cover search engines, design and development, and site hosting. The also have a marketplace where other webmasters can buy and sell everything from advertisements to an entire website. In regards to their search engine category they introduced a new (new to most webmaster forums) sub category covering SEO Marketing. Most forums just talk about how to optimize for a particular search engine, and they techniques they use. I believe learning the hows and whys of SEO Marketing is a better starting point.
More Than a Forum
They also have a webmaster blog of the recent goings ons that effect us webmasters, and a bunch of cool webmasters tools that are free to use. The tools are mostly pre-written code that you can slap in your site to do things like create rollovers, generate meta tags, or site maps.
Will It Succeed?
I think it will. Starting a forum, like I have said many time before, is a tough business, especially a webmaster forum. These guys have done it before though, so I believe they have the know how. They have also limited the number of categories, and sub-categories. This is key in maintaining the appearance of activity. Nobody like to visit a ghost town. One other big plus in their favor? It’s not green…
