Considering most vloggers haven't even attempted to claim their vlog
listing on the new VlogMap, I'm not really concerned about plugging
the forums.
I'll admit, I thought adding forums to VlogMap would be an added
service. The goal was to provide another connection point for
international vloggers and those interested in video blogging.
However, the reality is that VlogMap gets 80-90% non-vlogger traffic.
Most people come from searching Google, yet they still seem to be
confused about what vlogging is.
Many of the visitors are from outside the US. Many are visiting to
find videos. Most are not vloggers. That does provide a good
opportunity for those listed to reap traffic. Andy Carvin has mapped
a ton of videos and has probably seen a slight increase in traffic.
Anyways, I'm not sure how to continue... it is hard to develop tools
for the community (minority) yet focus on the viewers (majority).
That being said, the future of VlogMap is in the community's hands.
If users don't add vlogs/geovlogs then it will go stale. If users
don't moderate the listings, it may get filled w/ junk.
As for the forums and handbook, they may get pulled down since nobody
is using them. Participating would plug yourself. VlogMap operates
on a $0 budget and makes $0. My only goal is to better the community
and provide useful/fun tools for vloggers.
Sorry that is seen as a plug.
