Very important announcement. Please read immediately.




Hi,

We are working towards improving our search engine rankings so that our site comes before the sites that our copying our Written Updates or sites which are simply copying our site design to look like us . So I tried compiling a list of guidelines that will help us do that with your help and support.

a) The Subject character limit has been increased from 55 to 70. So please use the full name of the show wherever possible in any of the Sticky Topics whether its the Picture Gallery / Archive Mansion / Help Desk.

b) DO NOT use special characters as that doesn't help with readability and also with the search engines. For example please do not make topics like @!~ Qubool Hai Help Desk ~!@ and it can be simply Qubool Hai Help Desk as the subject of the Topic.

c) Please do not use MEMBERSONLY tag for the written updates. This is important if we want to get indexed in the search engines and prove that it was us who posted it first and has been lifted from our site. However I would recommend using NOCOPY code.

d) For all the topics please make sure that you put the Topic Subject into your post also in large fonts. Try to put the month name also in full. Something like this: Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hain - Written Update for 19th August 2013

Or Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hain - Help Desk

and then follow it with your main content. So that its amply clear to the search engines as well us others also what the post is about.

e) Moderators and Viewbies are requested to update the current topics of their respective forums to comply with the above guidelines. This will increase the relevancy of our Forum Pages and also help us in improving our search rankings which is essential for the success of the forums.

f) Coolbies are requested if they could simply update their past written updates and remove the MEMBERSONLY tag and also update the Topic subject with shows full name.

g) Coolbies are requested to update the "Real Name" field in their Profile. But if someone do not want to put that and rather like to use a Pseudo name that is also fine. The main purpose of doing that is that we will include Microdata for Search Engines to tell them who is the original author of the written updates are.

If you have any suggestions on how we can improve this platform please feel free to drop me a PM or post it in the Coolbie / Viewbies section of the site and I will check the same.

Thank you for your help and support in this regard.

Cheers, Vijay

Hi,

In order to make sure that the written updates and video update posts made on India-Forums made by you is the first thing that people find on Search Engines and also has the maximum visibility I would recommend the following:

a) Please make sure that in the subject you do include the show Full Name instead of short forms followed by the Date. For example: Saraswatichandra Written Updates for 17th August 2013

b) Do place the same thing also in your post so that its clear what you are posting about and search engine can really identify.

c) If you are a Coolbie / Cool Viewbie and posting Written Updates personally I will suggest not to use MEMBERSONLY tag so that your content gets crawled by the search engine first and then we can take action on the people copying it.

If you have any suggestions on how we can improve this platform please feel free to drop me a PM or post it in the Coolbie section of the site and I will check the same.

Cheers, Vijay

2nd Important Announcement on birthday threads, celebration threads etc which all forum members must be aware of:

Hello Friends,

Hope everyone is doing well! We would like to take this opportunity to notify every one of a few changes that have been made in regards to Birthday Threads as well as other Global Announcement Topics.


Regarding Birthday Threads

Permissions - If you want to volunteer to make celebrity birthday threads, please kindly seek permission from the section Development team or Channel moderator of that particular channel or the Global moderators before you start to prepare the thread. Since many want to help out, we suggest it's done by the actor/actress respective ATs or collectively by the forum members. If you fail to seek permission before hand, all your efforts will go in vain and no one is to be blamed.NOTE: A single member will not be granted permission to be fair to everyone.


Global Announcement Period - All celebrity's birthday threads will be made global announcement for ONLY 3 DAYS, after which it will be removed. Whether it will remain as a sticky in the forum or not will be up to the section DT post the two day GA period.


Addition of Music Files- Lately we have been asking members NOT to ADD automatic music files to the first page on topics that go up as global announcement since it increases the website load time. Henceforth, please remove any music files before requesting any birthday threads to be GAed. If members fail to do so, the Development Team may refuse to make it a GA or may simply ask the members to remove the content before GAing it. Note - this is applicable only to the first page!


Spamming - We understand a lot of effort and hard work goes into making these birthday threads and everyone want it to be a successful thread. But please kindly avoid spamming unnecessarily simply with the intention of increasing the number of pages. If members continue to spam the thread while the topic is a GA, the development team may choose to immediately remove it from GA.


Birthday threads of the members - Development team members' (Coolbies to Admins) birthday threads will be made as a global announcement as a token of appreciation for their time and effort towards maintenance of this forum. Regular members' birthday threads will be made sticky in the respective forums they are active on. Those who prepare the regular members' birthday threads are requested to contact the respective section DTs to have the threads stickied.


Regarding Other Global Announcement Topics


Global announcement topics - India-Forums Crazy Creative team is responsible for creating Festive threads (such as Diwali, Christmas, Easter, Eid, Thanks Giving, Regional Celebrations (Pongal, Sankranti, Ugadi etc)), National Holidays (such as independence day, republic day). Global Forum Contests, etc. As such, threads made by the team gets first priority and if anyone wants to contribute or collaborate, please kindly contact the CC head MP_Radha or any of the CC team members via PM with a clear subject title.


Show Anniversary/ Celebratory threads - Only Show Anniversary, Actors' Birthdays, Characters on screen marriages and Actors real life marriage celebration will be GAed. Fare-well threads of shows that go off air will also be made GA, however, we will NO LONGER GA off airs shows' anniversary, as currently airing shows get the first priority.

Any important flash news topics can be made GA upon request, such as nature catastrophe, death announcements of important personals, sports tournaments such as cricket world cup, IPL, soccer, sport finals etc.


We will update this thread if more points come across. Hope you all enjoy the remainder of the summer.


Thank you,

Best Regards

IF Development Team
