Our WSM Philosophy Website ranked #4 in World / Internet

Hey everyone,
Discovered some cool news about our website yesterday.
http://www.spaceandmotion.com

We are now ranked number 4 in world for Philosophy websites on the Internet, based on Alexa rank (number of visitors / page views). See;
(http://www.alexa.com/browse?&CategoryID=304)

(NOTE January 2007: We are now ranked number 1 - the figures below relate to 12 months ago, the new 2007 results are at bottom of page.)

We average around 10,000 visitors a day, about 20,000 page views a day. We hope to increase that to 50,000 to 100,000 over next few years (website has been online now for about 18 months). We are currently in top 40,000 website on Internet (out of several billion) and our aim is to be in top 5,000 websites on Internet. (New ideas need this level of exposure i think!)



And we also hope that this forum will be getting around 10,000 page views a day within next 12 months (so please try and add some links to this forum and your work / posts on this forum). Please link to STATIC URLs, for details see;
http://www.physics-philosophy-metaphysics.com/forum/about87.html
(Important information on Google ranking and how to Link to pages on this Forum using Static URLs rather than Dynamic URLs - very simple and obvious once understood - and will make a big difference over time!)

NOTE: This only applies if you are linking to posts within Forum. The Main Index Page;
http://www.physics-philosophy-metaphysics.com/forum/index.php
is always a Static URL and you can just add links to that if you want. However, it is good to actually link to pages within the website (rather than just to the Index page) in which case it is important to link to the Static URL.

This Forum currently has a page rank of 6, which is very good for a website only a few months old, and mainly due to links from all our pages at spaceandmotion.com. But it really needs links from a diversity of websites (rather than a lot of links from one website as it has at moment).

See 'how to help' page as it has lots of useful information of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), how to build keyword targeted links, and places you can go on internet to add links back to our 'little forum'.

I believe that the Wave Structure of Matter is very important to Humanity. Karene and I both devote a large part of our lives to this work and its intelligent promotion on the Internet. I have good knowledge of SEO (have studied / experimented a lot over past year). I know what needs to be done for us to succeed, just need a bit of help so that this can happen in next 5 years rather than 50 years!

And I think mutual benefit is a good foundation for people working together, but this requires mutual responsibility to help one another. (See my post on the 'Little Red Hen')
And once you get a nice intelligent group of people working together, discussing ideas, it is actually very interesting, a great challenge, and quite a lot of fun at times.

There, that's my motivational polemic for the day!
Sincerely,
Geoff

A few nice quotes from how to help page.

(Machiavelli, 1513) There is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, more dangerous to manage than the creation of a new system. The innovator has the enmity of all who profit by the preservation of the old system and only lukewarm defenders by those who would gain by the new system.



(Rachel Carson) We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road - the one 'less traveled by' - offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth. The choice, after all, is ours to make.

(Margaret Mead) Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world, indeed it is the only thing that ever has.



(Albert Einstein) We must not conceal from ourselves that no improvement in the present depressing situation is possible without a severe struggle; for the handful of those who are really determined to do something is minute in comparison with the mass of the lukewarm and the misguided.



(David Bohm, Wholeness and the Implicate Order, 1980) The notion that all these fragments is separately existent is evidently an illusion, and this illusion cannot do other than lead to endless conflict and confusion. Indeed, the attempt to live according to the notion that the fragments are really separate is, in essence, what has led to the growing series of extremely urgent crises that is confronting us today. Thus, as is now well known, this way of life has brought about pollution, destruction of the balance of nature, over-population, world-wide economic and political disorder and the creation of an overall environment that is neither physically nor mentally healthy for most of the people who live in it. Individually there has developed a widespread feeling of helplessness and despair, in the face of what seems to be an overwhelming mass of disparate social forces, going beyond the control and even the comprehension of the human beings who are caught up in it.

Hi All,
We are now ranked number 1 for philosophy sites on the internet.
(http://www.alexa.com/browse?&CategoryID=304)

We get between 30,000 to 45,000 people visiting site each day, total of around 80,000 to 100,000 page views, and about 5 million hits / day if you include images.

However, about 80% of visits are to our philosophy of sex pages, only 20% to philosophy of science pages.

But it is still good promotion for our philosophy / physics (WSM) site.
And I hope to do much better over next few years as we improve website.

Cheers,
Geoff

Your website may be #1, but it could use a complete overhaul. This is my first post. I heard about the website through word of mouth. I am a computer literate person, but it took me 15 minutes to find a link to this forum from the website.

You have mountains of information on a single long page. As I was not permitted to post in your website improvement section, I'm giving my recommendations here.

I would break up the page into many many different pages, with a common web design theme and navigation buttons on each. You should advertise the forum more prominently at the top or side with all other navigational buttons.

I've got a lot of reading to do before I can give you my thoughts on the theories (or truths... It depends on your conviction) expressed on the board or website. A better web site would make my journey a bit easier.

Was this putting my best foot forward by way of introduction? Probably not. Sorry. Here's a bit about me:

I'm an artist who makes his living selling things other than my art. I'm always on the road. I believe nobody has ever captured the human spirit better than John Steinbeck (see East of Eden, The Grapes of Wrath).

Hello steinbeck,

Should you wish to put your best foot forward there exists an 'edit' button to the upper right of your post.

We have found, here, that simply being nice gets favourable results. If we concentrate on the positive sides of the Human spirit, they may counterbalance the vastly negative sides that we have to endure via 'wars' and 'pollution', etc, perhaps.

The greater physical truth can only be what it is. We, as tiny parts of it, have a limited amount of choice in this regard, but will never be able to change the fundamental nature of existence. The WSM merely attempts to describe it; itself, really! So, truth about reality is boss, regardless of anyone's conviction.

I liked your comments about art.

The site is in a state of constant change, and I believe Geoff is somewhere close to making some of the changes you mention. So, please bear with us on that? I expect all will be revealed soon enough.

Hope you find what you're looking for here.

Regards,
Steve.

Hey steinbeck,

As I recall, it took me awhile to find the forum myself...I thought perhaps it was a kind of test ;)

Anyway, once I did arrive here, I liked it.
