How do we increase KFN's exposure

I'm very sorry to suggest this, but it's quite possible that "certain" content on this site could cause "certain" engines to give kubuntuforums.net a lower ranking.

Or not. What "certain"'s are you refering to, and why? Are you suggesting a muzzle on this site for the sake of "ranking"? And what would be ranked, our political correctness?

Here is wha Alexa posts about KFN:

When I do a search for "kde forum" KFN is the fourth hit. The official KDE forums have the first two, then Mint then KFN.

I just did a search using QWant's web port and noticed that KFN was 44th and Mint was 45th.


StartPage put's KFN 6th and Mint 4th but Neon 2nd.

DuckDuckGo has KFN at 42th, Neon 11th and Mint 36th.

Search engine rankings mean nothing.

While SEO and advertising may all be very good, what's the harm in answering questions or at least informing people there about KFN? BTW, I'm immune to advertising and ad spends didn't do too much in a historic event about ten months ago.

KFN veterans may recognize that a question currently unanswered at AU has essentially been asked and answered over here and be able to provide a link to the solution at KFN.

Another example: https://askubuntu.com/questions/9491...-kubuntu-16-04. At the time of my writing this post, that question has all of eight views and no answer.

And this other question, https://askubuntu.com/questions/9490...-doesnt-appear, posted ~11 h ago has 15 views.

So do try to visit https://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/kubuntu and "advertise" KFN by showing its actual usefulness

thats a good idea ,,,,,,I just went their and answered 2-3 of them and seined my answer "VINNY VINNY@ https://www.kubuntuforums.net/forum.php

Be careful with that though. Spamming forums with irrelevant links can do more harm than good.

One needs to be subtle and not too obvious

The "controllers", not the great folks who have been at the burn barrels here at Kubuntu forums, DO NOT WANT..."more exposure"..."why?" the simple reason is. that if Kubuntu becomes a "dominant" OS...THEY OWN IT!!

and then..."they" have to "deal with it".
