How do I advertise my yahoo group on the web so others can see it? - curious!!!!!!!!!!! - 11-09-2012 05:17 PM
I have created a yahoo group (for grads of my former school) and i would wish to advertise it invite my colleagues to join. how do i do this through the web?
we graduated several years back, so I do not have most of my colleagues' phone numbers and current mailing addresses/e-mails

First make your site look sharp. Choose custom colors a good photo and welcoming message. Click edit beside description on your cover page then scroll down and you will find where to do all that. Send an email to all your friends and relatives with the URL pasted in explaining the group and inviting them to join and asking them to forward the message to their friends and relatives asking the same. also, paste the URL into every future email you send. When you set up your group put first posts on moderation, if someone causes a problem at the start with spam or nasty comments ban them then and there. Try to add HTML links to similar sites on your cover page and also a hit counter you can do a search for free ones, they help make your site interesting. As your membership grows add additional moderators and encourage everyone to offer suggestions to improve your group. you might also promote it or look for members on facebook. It takes a long time to build a good group, and remember participation is more important than numbers. Good luck
