Hi Linda, yes we do have a lot

Do you mean in the main menu structure or the actual categories/tags structure in wordpress that has parent and child categories?

Thanks,

James

We've got a well-established Wordpress magazine-type site with over 3000 posts and quite a lot of categories (100) and tags (117). These categories are needed as we write about quite a diverse subject, but I've been having a look at our current menu setup (megaMenu type affair with a lot of links) and I was wondering whether it's worth moving to a simpler/more streamlined main navigation and showing the sub menu items in a different way. The reason I say this is most cats/tags are used in the main menu which is a lot, and that's before any on page links are taken into consideration.

I've also been looking at the analytics and seeing what the most popular cats/tags are - Do we want to concentrate on those only, or from a usability perspective should we give users as many options to find what they may be looking for instead?

Would appreciate some help to get my head round this

Hello,

We ran a couple of boosted post ads in november and october to promote a survey we were running but that's it - nothing recently and the only ads listed in our campaigns are the two I've mentioned above.

Howdy,

We have seen our Facebook Likes increase by a staggering 20k in a week. At the beginning of last week we were sat at around 21k and it has been steadily increasing, but just 7 days later we now have 42k - Has their been some sort of algorithm change for this to happen, or should I be suspicious that something is not quite right?

Thanks,

James

Hi Daylan,

Thanks for the link, it was interesting reading.

"Perhaps check your numbers for your current forum first. See if you can notice anything that may be harming or improved with the current forum site and fix those before you migrate in."

How would I go about this?

Thanks Steven,

Why would our forum get penalised for spam? I've never heard of this happening to us. What would be the cause?

Our forum is on a full domain www.weddingideaschat.com. I am thinking of putting it on our website www.weddingideasmag.com so it looks like www.weddingideasmag.com/forum

Hi,

we're thinking of moving our very well established forum to a subfolder on our main domain. I have read that this would be much better for seo reasons/domain authority rather than using a sub domain. Is this correct?

Our forum has 15,000 users and gets roughly over 502,087 impressions from 101,147 visits a month.

Thanks,

James
