okay straight down to buisness, frankly I dislike picks saying "will آپ شامل میں this spot" یا messages from people advertising sites and spots. If people have a real interest in the spot they will find it themselves, same goes for websites but i understand that there's no point to a spot if your the only member and آپ have no one to talk about your passion with and since we're all one big fanpop family the مزید of us the merrier a spot generally is, so rather than whining about it i have decided to offer up some solutions. Although the annoying person with in me still feels the need to put in some 'don't' but i promise not to go on too long :D I will try and say what i do want to see and will give سہارا if i see people actually taking this advice on board
firstly before i start, the big no, no, please don't send people messages advertising spots and sites, it’s annoying and I’m sure everyone wants a spam free fanpop
links
The most obvious way to تشہیر a spot یا website is to put some لنکس up, i think three is the most can آپ can put up of the same link (rightly so) so use them wisely, the best way to do this is not to put them in unrelated, مقبول spots like fanpop but to put them in different related spots,
e.g. if آپ had made a spot for a tv character, it has no relation to fanpop so don't link it to fanpop (this is technically miscategorized) instead why not put a link to the دکھائیں iself, a link to the spot of the actor/actress who plays that character, آپ don't necessarily have to put as many as آپ can but I guess if آپ really wanted to آپ could then put a link to a مقبول couple they are involved in
picks
another big no, no for me is the "will آپ شامل میں the so and so spot" pick, there really is no point to these picks, they are not opinionated and won't get anymore advertising than links, just مزید comments, again they're annoying and spammy
the reason why people like picks so much is to state their opinion and so creating a none opinion pick will not draw in the interest, interesting picks will draw in interest
e.g. if i were to create a spot for the brilliant dave lui i could ask in the fanpop users spot
"what's your پسندیدہ thing about dave"
and then put a link in the تبصرے
یا again in the fanpop users spot
link
and then pick dave and say something like "that's why i created the dave spot" and then link,
it's easy standard pick stuff یا if آپ want آپ can get really creative and slip it in anywhere e.g. آپ could ask in the picks spot
link
then pick dave and link
the same aspect can be applied to tv characters یا anything e.g.
i created the spot for the دکھائیں link (oh yes i'm even advertising right now, i'm that good ;p) and even though it has not come out yet i could ask in the ویژن ٹیلی spot
"which new دکھائیں are آپ most looking آگے to coming out?" and then link
یا in the amy acker spot
"which amy acker co سٹار, ستارہ did آپ like best" then pick eliza dushku and say "i'm looking آگے to seeing them together again in the new دکھائیں dollhouse" and then link
articles
okay now i really don't want to see مضمون and فورم saying
"you should شامل میں the dave lu spot because it's awesome"
that's not a article! and not really a فورم
what آپ could do is write a مضمون about your passion e.g. if آپ created a spot for pigeon racing آپ could write a مضمون about your own achievements in the sport and put in some تصاویر with آپ and the pigeons in the fanpop users spot and then as always put a link below
Of for a دکھائیں if created a spot of one couple vs. another couple, آپ could write a مضمون comparing the couples and then link
other little tips and bits
If your really struggling for شائقین here’s a few other tips
-you could put a link to the spot under ‘websites’ on your پروفائل page
-you could say something about your passion in your جملہ معیاری on your پروفائل page
-you could use a avatar/icon of your passion
-there are loads of فورم about advertising including link یا one to link
-you could ever try bribing us سے طرف کی saying it contains picture of john in his chaps
-the مزید pop کوئز سوالات آپ ask the better chance آپ have of people coming across them in the 'super quiz'
Finally THE NUMBER ONE way to get مزید شائقین on to a spot is to add loads of brilliant, amazing content
تصاویر on the front page, فورم on the front page, picks on the front page, pop quizzes on the front page will all be noticed, even better if آپ add some brilliant ویڈیوز یا مضامین and have them featured
okay that's my say and some ideas, don't use all of these that would be a bit excessive just pick a couple that آپ could do best :D
EDIT:when i wrote this مضمون there wasn't a dave spot but there now is so i guess this was a bit of advertisement for that too

TV shows, cooking, add anything آپ want. If آپ think i'm sounding like an a-hole right now that's your opinion, but I think I really have a good thing going here. So please take a look at the anything spot if your even romotely intrested at all.
so just type "anything" the fanpop تلاش engine and your there. (obviously I know)
