How do I get more members?

Before I answer the question, ask yourself, "do I really want more members?" If you have a good active member base does it give you what you need? With more members comes the need for more vigilance against spammers, becoming a referee between arguing members, more lurkers, and more bouncing members.

If the answer is still a resounding, yes! Then here are some steps you can take.

1. Advertise in listing groups. These groups specialize in sharing groups. There are hundreds of them. You can find some of them in the Group-Listing Groups section of this web site.
2. Advertise on group web sites like this one. There are quite a few others. You can find a list of these at the link labeled, Group List Web Sites.
3. Join other groups with similar membership, share pics, stories and the like with the other groups, and mention your own group.
4. Invite members from other groups to join yours. As a moderator you can take advantage of this Yahoo! tool.
5. It is not recommended that you spam other groups. While you will get more members, you risk the scorn of other moderators and risk Yahoo booting you.

How do I change my category?

Your category is based on the category you selected on Yahoo! when you created the group. I only have room in the database for one category. This value is updated each time your group stats are updated. You may be able to change this value.

To Change Your Category
1. From the group home page click on the management link
2. Then click on "Description and Appearance"
3. Finally, click on "Edit" Category and select your new category.

How did you find my group?

Your group was listed somewhere. It might be another group, a search engine, another email message, or you recreated a deleted group. I look for groups everywhere.

How did my group get on the spam list?

There are several ways to make the list:
• You are using an iframe on the group page. A strong indicator of a signpost site.

How did my group get on the dead/abandoned list?

There are severl ways to make the list:
• Had no messages for six months prior to the check of the group site.
• User Votes.

Can I get off the spam or dead/abandoned list?

Yes, send me an email.

I emailed you and never got an answer?

I get alot of spam and alot of virus laden emails. Make sure your subject line is meaningful. I answer all emails I know that are uniquely sent.
