Postage Stamp Chat Board & Stamp Bulletin Board Forum
 

As I move around the web I am delighted to see so many websites and blogs from members and other collectors and dealers who have kindly added a stampboards logo and link to us on their own website or blog etc.

To give recognition and thanks to those generous members, I have started this thread so members can acknowledge those sites on here, and publicly thank them for their support.

If you as a member have a stamp site or blog, and have not yet added a link to here, there is no time like the present!

http://www.stampboards.com

If you are in a Club or group that has links to other sites on their site and not to us, please forward this thread to the webmaster, asking he considers adding us too.

http://www.stampboards.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=10980

And we in turn can promote that site at NO cost to him when you mention it below

If you add a post here below, giving the link to your website or blog, it will greatly add to the google spidering indexing to your website. Why? - as due to our large size we have permanent google and Yahoo spider bots glued to this site 24/7 indexing EVERY word on this site, every day ..... as you can see by looking at "Who Is Online" at any second of any day.

By linking your site to us via a post here below, you add to your own google ranking considerably.

google indexes us 24/7 simply as we get a phenomenal amount of traffic and posts from Registered members - and the 10 fold number over that, who simply read the threads.

The most recent stats I have are for the first week of February 2009

Total hits = 708,572
Total page views = 203,039

(2013 update - now over a million hits a week!)

Those are gigantic numbers for a week for ANY stamp related website of any kind .. even the very largest auctions get nothing like that traffic.

I see no reason why we can't have 10,000 members in pretty quick time, making us easily the largest true stamp bulletin board ANYWHERE in the world.

The input and assistance of all members would be greatly appreciated! It is YOUR board, and how successful we make it is something you CAN influence!

Artwork in different sizes of the logo is as follows below, for any use you may think to put them to, if you are able to assist us in any way in spreading the word via adding links to other boards.

MANY members add one of these logos to their ebay listing templates too .. and thanks for that global support as well.

Thanks in advance - Glen

---------------------





















(The are really superb and long wearing mouse mats - used mine for years!)























We have had some of the things above made in the USA as souvenirs. Into T Shirts, caps, pens, calculators, mouse mats etc, that some members have asked if they might buy.

We did not make many due to the cost of small runs in full colour, so first in - first served.

UK member gavin-h is shown above with a range of all of them he won in a competition at Christmas.

For anyone interested, cost is as follows (all post is extra) and all payment methods are fine - to glen[at]glenstephens.com Stand out from the crowd at your next stamp show, or club meet!

1. T Shirt: see Gavin's photo - logo is larger & better looking than mock-up $A20
2. Classy USA baseball Cap - white or light fawn - $A20
3. Nice pens as shown. PRINTED logo, not a sticker. $A5 each.
4. Adhesive window decals - specify inside or outside use: there are 2 types. $A5 ea.
5. Large car door magnets with Stampboards logo on it. (In front of Gavin) $A10
6. Large 2013 Fridge door calendar magnet $A3 each.
7. Full colour MOUSE MAT with printed stampboards logo on the fabric. SUPERB! $A25
8. Large robust fabric Stampboards tote bag. Full colour logo on both sides. $A25
9. Pocket calculator with battery. Hinged lid with colour logo that is free standing. $A15
10. Buy 5 or more of these above, and deduct 15%. Buy all of them and deduct 25%!


All will be shipped along with a free array of different size and design, stampboards double sided, color postcards, small fridge magnets and the like, that you can pass on to others!

Like ANYTHING to do with stamps, these knick-knacks will all be collectible and sought after in the future. Tiny, tiny, number done, and all of course with our Penny Black as part of the logo.

=====================

And more those who want the tech specs, or to load onto ebay templates etc, here is the HTML code needed -

The numbers quoted are amazing!!

Glen, I'd love to buy a baseball cap and a couple of pens. I'll pay via Paypal and send you the address.

Cheers, Don.

PS. Please ask for your money back from the modelling agency that supplied the dodgy character in the white t-shirt

Hi all,

Banner placed at http://www.ephilatelics.com.

Thanks for the link.

PS: Webmaster: Are links from this forum set as "follow" or "no follow"?

Many thanks .. although I do not see it now that I just looked - but do see several other banners!

Have no idea what "follow" or "no follow" means - can you explain that to techo dinosaur Glen please?

I am sitting in Chicago typing this so can't be USA blocking in place.

Glen

Follow (or actually dofollow) means that links are indexed by googlebot and search engines, and credit in search engine results.

Nofollow means that links are indexed by search engines, but do not give any credit/boost in search engine results.

It's one of the many tools used to combat against "web/search engine spam"... .. As far as I can see, all links in stampsboards are dofollow(which is IMHO a great credit for all "content contributors")

Here's link to wikipedia article on topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow

Glen,

I would like a t shirt in L or XL depending if they are big sizes or not. I think the items would be very popular.

Tim

Glen,

5000 members would be great. How many do we have now? Will you go back and fill membership numbers of people no longer accessing the site at some stage? I notice that Simons number was number 38 one before mine. An honour I think. It will be interesting in years to come to see if low numbered members are seen as pioneers.

Tim

Received my cap and pen today. Excellent Rugby World Cup sheet for postage too. Fridge magnet has pride of place next to the beer-bottle-opener magnet

As part of my site I am displaying items from my collection and providing information, sort of like an online stamp exhibit except the rules are mine. The site is still a work in progress but I feel it is at a stage where listing it is worthwhile. I have a few links to stampboards already and will probably add more.

Hello!! Big CONGRATS to Glen for creating this AMAZING Board! Quite impressive....

I added a link to your site on my modest website even before I became a member.

My website is an attempt to have a FREE ONLINE CATALOGUE of stamps from PERU (South America).

It is still under consdtruction, but I have received many inquiries and friendly emails already.... that's encouraging.

It was precisely one of your members who contacted me with a few questions and a nice comment about my website, who suggested that I visit stampboards.com I'm glad I did!

The reason why I so quickly decided to become a member was because I read many posts asking for a "Peru stamps expert" (I'm just an 'aficionado' but I could certainly help).

My website's URL is: http://www.stampsperu.com

You will find the STAMPBOARDS.COM banner in the "Links" secton (duh).

Again, congratulations.. keep up the great work!


CARLOS "carlopeto"

Also added a link in my blog. It´s in spanish, but with the pictures, babelfish, and a little imagination, you will figure it out...

Ha ha, just been looking around on your website. I love this stamp:



Bit small for me though, unfortunately!

Well, sizes go up to XXXL on adult apparel items, so come on in, the water's lovely!

We also will make any item with any stamp. Just send us a high-res scan and we'll do the rest.
