It might not show yet, but Photoshopgurus is slowly on its way back. Traffic has improved lately with 25%.
We were ranked in the past with keywords Photoshop forum in Google on page 6, we're now on page one in 5th place (I want to get us in the top 3); a huge improvement. Because of this you might have noticed a slight increase in people who joined. If I ignore the months Oct-Nov-Dec in which we had lots of spam that messed up our statitics, then I can only conclude that we never had so many new members in one month since Novermber 2005 (and we still have a few days to go). The number of people we had online (21 at the same time) a few days ago is also the highest in one year.
This will increase once I submit all our tutorials to those tutorial sites that don't have them in our database yet. So for those who think the site is dead...think again...things will get at least 5 times better and if you don't believe me, then you don't know me...
But....I will repeat again; traffic alone doesn't automatically guarantee an active forum. A good example is my other site where I have 10 times more traffic and where the forum is pretty much covered with spider webs. It's not the number of people that make a forum a success, it's the kind of people, please remember that.
