PHPBB How to Bulk Mass Delete Users Spammers and Spam Without Mod - How To by Developer

We all know that one of the fastest ways to grow a community and google friendly high PR site is to install a phpbb forum. If you post clever and controversial topics, people just feel compelled to join, reply, and build your content for you.

Sadly, this includes spammers. And what they do is register, lay dormant, then spam you over time with dozens of accounts! This is how you bulk delete spammers without a mod or even customizations -- just using existing phpbb functionality. 

I was personally looking for a user name check box type of phpbb mod but this method works just as well if not better depending on how many people you have to cull away. Enjoy!

The Marketing Mix: Google SEO vs Google Adsense vs Twitter vs Facebook vs Blogging

Media_https1hubimgcom_bekzx

Back in the old country (not geographically--two decades ago in the 90's), there was one brand of mobile phone, there were two brands of jeans, vaccines were definitely good for you, and you could do advertising or you could do marketing. Life was simple. 

If you were going to do some advertising for you business, you'd consider magazines, tv, newspapers, or the yellow pages. On the outside chance you were big enough, you'd sprinkle in there some billboard ads. 

If you were going to do some marketing, you hire a PR person to get you writeups in those same magazines and papers you are considering advertising in. You'd go to some entrepreneurs' round table, you'd go to trade shows, and you'd mingle. This was marketing.

Today, prospective clients ask my team for marketing help. And frankly, I'm not really sure what that means. 

If you ask us for marketing help and then tell us that you want to market via Twitter and Facebook, which are social environments but then tell us that you have nobody on staff who can write and be a full time web customer service rep, that's like saying, I want to go to a big industry trade show for networking and I have nobody to send (yes, can can hire out but it's much more cost effective to do it inhouse).

So here are the pros and cons; strengths and weaknesses of each medium of communication and each of their requirements for successful implementation. Special thanks to Orange County's Top Solar Panel Installer for inspiring this post!

NYTimes Quarterly Earning Report: Print Ads Down. Digital Ads Way Up

Media_httpjafapetefil_ifhnd

Writers of each blog or publication has a direct relationship with your market

Well, the NYTimes just got thinner again. On the print side they lost 6.1% of their ad revenues. But they gained a 21.2% jump in digital ad revenue. My question is, at a 0.1% (1000:1) Click Through Rate (CTR) Why is anyone advertising at all?

Instead of advertising, you could simply create a direct relationship with your market just like each of the writers for the NYTimes have. Think about it. Each of the Writers of each blog or publication has a direct relationship with your market. That was YOUR market.

If you built a forum and a totem pole around which your market could interact and get to know you, you could finally cut out the middle man, the medium, the ad media. Call 310 598 1606 or email bob.wan.kim@sparkah.com to talk about how you can build a place to hospitably welcome a direct relationship with your market and cut out the middle man (you don't have to buy a Heidelberg Press or Buy FCC Spectrum any more).
