[QUOTE="toup, post: 75358"] Great Idea to have a portal, but I agree it needs to be de-cluttered a bit. A couple of points also: 1. How is this being hosted/financed? This could make some difference, as if it is independant from swordfish then you could look into selling some ad space on it to bring in revenue - I may well be able to provide some industry contacts for this, but we would need to have more guaranteed traffic to the site - hence the need for a portal with genuine content. 2. Have you looked at doing some search engine optimisation to bring TRF further up the natural listings in Google etc? This is not as effective as paying for the sponsored listings (the ones in a box at the top), but costs nothing and can bring in more traffic (people are more likely to visit an actual 'site' than a forum) 3. Are you looking to make this portal a proper content site with rugby news etc? You could maybe speak to planet-rugby etc about becoming an affiliate although I am guessing they may be worried about losing their own forum members to such a dominating global force as ourselves... Any thoughts or questions let me know... [/QUOTE]
