Improving Entrepreneur Forum

[mattonline]

Hello, well i've created this thread, as i believe we need to make this forum compete with the rest of the Business related forums and websites out there, and really give valuable and informative information to its visitors. So i'm looking for any suggestions on improving the site, i'm willing to pay a little $$$ to help improve the website, such as advertising and search engine position.

Were currently Number one for the search term 'Entrepreneur Forum' but the one i really want to target head on is 'Business Forum' and get some sort of rankings for this search term. So any suggestions on getting this achieved will be taken on board and appreciated.

I'm also trying to work on getting people to post more, as far as i'm aware people are posting on this forum, some are posting really good questions and aren't getting answered, i know if people could answer them they will, and i do try to help as much as i can, when i can. So one area for me is to get really knowledgeable people on board to help achieve this. We are prepared to pay people who can offer detailed help to our members who can answer these questions. So shoot me or the 'admin' a PM and we will get that sorted. (Were only going to pay for resolved help posts, and not pay people to post generally on the forum.)

Do you think that the forum should have an external section, such as a Article directory, or a articles page/landing page?

Well were really looking to improve the forum, so any tips you have will be great full!

thanks in advance
