Stair – Let me know how you get on. I would always avoid paid forum posting services – they can’t match the passion or quality that you can contribute to your forum yourself.

I think ICO-Content was out even before Jetconvo…

ICO isa bit pricy thought so I am glad to see some competition.

I am hunting for a product like this myself after wasting a bunch of money on useless forumstarter companies, they filled my travel forum with crap about Britney Spears etc…

Eric – I am glad to hear your contest was a success. You had a touch of originality in your competition and it was always bound to be more successful than the ‘highest post count’ or other such contests that seem to be be running all over the place these days.

There is a definite drop in those graphs though – I’m assuming that marks the end of the contest?

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that we saw a MASSIVE increase in activity as a result of our contest. And, yes – the momentum continues. Take a look at our activity graph.

The first huge spike is November 20th, right when the contest started. You’ll see that even after the contest was over, the activity level continued. (Each point represents approximately 17.2 days)

It really paid off, for us!

Todd - You're right, it does look a lot like JetConvo. Their website also offers an interesting video showing how the system works.

Looks like a clone of JetConvo. And Since the owner registered at JetConvo before VumPost went live, I’m guessing it is.

Hirsutism – Contests can make things lively in the short term, but do you think they can be effective for the long term?

Once again a very nice and informative post. I feel there must be contest in the blogs and forums. This makes it more lively and initiates a lot of participation from members.

Nicu – Thanks for answering the question that both Ramana and I were wondering about; it’s good to see you researched this area and your software complies with the current regulations.

Thanks for the question Amish.

Here’s an excerpt from Yahoo:

“To comply with the Yahoo! Web Services Terms of Use, you must display a Web Badge or text attribution on your web site or client application if Yahoo! content and data are served from your website or client application.”

You can read more about it here: http://developer.yahoo.com/attribution/

So you’re fine as long as you add a “Powered by Yahoo” statement at the end of each post (the script is setup by default to do this).

Hope this answers your question.
