COOPER&BURNETT Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 where are we with the search engines these days? near the top?Not yet. I've been told it takes time, as the "other" site has been around for a while, which will effect the seach engines it will take a while, but when it does, nobody will overtake us....but it's coming baby. It's coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

menno112 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 First of all, a massive congratulations to the great members an most of all our Ferrariman, our guru. Now that the formalities are gone, is there ever a chance that .ws will ever look like .org somewhere around 2005, with the fenomenal jukebox? God, I remember those days at the office, listening to the vice songs on the background.either way, if not, bless this site for what it is already. I think there is zero action going on at .org.Hell, even the greatest news in 20 years: DJ´s return as Crockett in the new commecial had a mere 2 responses!! One of the respondants being our own Mr Tony D. Says enough right?Party on boys and girls.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Calderon Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Well...One thing to consider when we look to the .ws future its how big we can think. And the cool thing is: WE THINK BIG!We cant forget few weeks ago Crockett never would come back. Now Don Johnson is wearing the pastels. Now theres a plan to a convention (damn i wont go! :_ _ ( ) with ppl from the cast, the site is rocking, we had interviews with Jan Hammer, Jim Zubiena, PMT, John Diehl...Theres Coop with the scrapbook and his "MV Museum".....Well, Viceland isnt a dictatorship anymore, and yes, its a work of love from loyal fans, not a place of self-promotion of someone else.

Tony D. Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Ferrariman stated over a year ago that he didn't want .org even mentioned here, so I've been doing so, unless I was asked a specific question about it.I like this website & am happy that it is successful with much activity & it has no technical problems. I'm just sad that darts have to be thrown at .org ( which has not done the same to .ws) We've recomended new fans to look in here on .ws for info that was not available on .org.........but .org is still considered the bad guys..Org is trying to get a new server to eliminate log-in problems, but even with those problems, there are many members here on .ws who still contribute information about Miami Vice to new fans on .org. One of them is Jim Zubiena ( the Argentinean Hitman), and Alex has posted about the Paris Convention. There are many other members who visit both sites and are not beat up because of it by the Admin. on .org.If the time comes that .org can no longer stay in operation, I will gladly give all of my time to this site, since I have a lot of friends here that I respect. Until then I will continue to be hospitable to the fans on both sites and help .org with DVD Reviews, Birthdays & New Member welcomes. Tony D.

jongarci Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 We should recruit more fans. The site is hard to find and hard to figure out the value at first.Couple of ideas:*Have a Facebook presence. Key is to have a few members post once a day relevant content (Updates from the scrapbook, tidbits, polls, etc.)Here is a n example with a french MV site http://www.facebook.com/pages/DeuxFlicsaMiamifr/110110265707684* SEO optimize the content so it can rank better: if you type miami vice online now, we appear in page 3 or 4. The content of the site is blocked if you are not a member which hurts indexing.thxJ.With the quality of the content here, it won't be hard to recruit new people.

I don't do the whole facebook thing but for those who do, definitely a good idea! There are ways to reach out but trust me, fans are finding us just fine. Anywhere from 2 or 3 to sometimes 10 new registrations a day! As with anything, word of mouth referral is the best advertising and a satisfied customer will recommend us to their friends! but please, anyone, feel free to put the word out any way you can!

Ferrariman had the class to do what RB asked, and removed his photos and section. Why was that courtesy not extended to me by your "friends"?(some have said it's because the Scrapbook section is the only thing interesting, or worth anything over there. I tend to agree.)It is mentioned here in this thread because we are rejoicing that we are now the dominant MIAMI VICE website, and largest on the planet earth with the most members of any MIAMI VICE site (4,048 now, as we picked up 12 new members since I started this thread). We are proud of that fact. We are not promoting .org, giving reasons to visit, or providing links to it. There is a difference.-COOP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiffany was in agreement with that, by the way.No one in particular is harrassed for visiting .org. What I should have said is from time to time, there are always negative comments being said about .org. No one does that about .ws .I still feel that you were suspened from .org hastily & unfairly....but trying to convince them is just as difficult as trying to get people here to forgive & forget.

They should have removed it when you asked them to, but it is helping many newbies and that's probably why they kept it.

We don't look down at any of the people who visit there. I especially feel sorry for the clueless newbies who join there with such enthusiasm. It's like they just found the holy grail or something and then, reality sets in. I want them to come here! Not to take them away from .org but to give them what they're looking for and what they deserve as fans! You can't dispute that.Send us your poor, your tired, your angry cameraman!
