    Wiki promotion through links

    A good way for us to attract more visitors to classicamiga is via links on Wikipedia pages. There are a lot of pages on the wiki devoted to some aspect of the Amiga, and anyone can add links to external sites on any wiki page.

    Therefore I thought it would be a great idea to add links to relevant classicamiga pages on these Wiki pages.

    So if any of you find a Wiki page that could "benefit" from a classicamiga link being included in the external links section please add one in.

    I've already added classicamiga to some Wiki pages already and will be adding more as I find them.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    I'd suggest you pick pages to link carefully and not to add many at once - the external links is monitored by editors on Wikipedia, and they'll notice a site adding many links at once.

    Therefore I suggest we add link pages that correspond to fairly complete articles on this site.

    I agree, and this is what I've been doing so far. I've added a links to pages such as the WinUAE Wiki page which links to the beginners guide to running WinUAE on classicamiga.

    That's a good idea. Hope that this will bring in some new visitors to both the site and the forum.

    Yeah, we definitely still need some visitors and of course members. But I think that getting members will be tough, as some visit or register at amiga only forums. Most of our posts are non amiga related, only 15-20% are really about amiga. We are a bunch of buddies chatting together all the time and waiting for new members to register. And I think people visiting this board often see this, and think themselves, what's this, I wanted something about amiga related stuff? Or do I need just some more patience ?
