    What if instead of doing Artist SXN's you made it so that it was SXN's based off locations.

    Examples being Chicago SXN, Atlanta SXN, Bay Area SXN in my opinion this is something that should be at the very least considered. I feel like it would promote more people to promote those sections more as it's generally artist from an area they would actually listen too.

    The current setup is kinda playing favorites with certain artist, and some of them don't even post content anymore and when there's news about them it's just wack s--- about their twitter getting hacked or some stupid s---.

    This gives the music sxn the ability to be used for general music news, where the area sxn's can be used for singles and s--- for the artist from those areas.

    @Final @Coco @tpk @Soldier @Ordinary Joel

    Someone please give me feed back on this idea, I can't be the only person who doesn't EVER f---ing click on the actual artist threads on the index page and uses only the side bar too navigate sections besides NSFW + Music

    It's been suggested before but it's not the route they want to go with the site.

    Bad idea because it promotes serial killers like Zep and Nori to actively search for users

    They do this over at radio discussion/TV boards so this could work for general discussion. It could make the forum great, could make it weak... who knows? worth a shot I guess.

    I like the idea but I think Koolo wants to keep our SEO power with the Drake/Kendrick/Eminem sections

    How come though? I can't see how it negatively would effect anything. I'm not at all recommending that they remove the existing sections just make it easier for me to find music and news I actually wanna f---ing listen / read.

    Well like OJ just said, we have a ton of SEO power with our artist SXN's. When you type "J Cole forum" into google, we're the first site to pop up.

    This logic makes no sense though if you're not removing those existing sections how would this be effected at all?

    Imagine getting placed for
    ===================
    Atlanta Music Forum
    Chicago Music Forum
    Bay Area Music Forum
    ===================
    those keywords open up the realm of indexing first for the keywords.
    ===================
    Bay Area Music

    Chicago Music
    Atlanta Music
    ===================

    In my opinion at least, this would in no way be a negative out-look SEO wise for the site in any way shape or form. Could probably even be debated that it would generate more organic users, people who're interested in certain areas so they contribute by posting tracks from artist in that area, those tracks get indexed site moves up in ranking.

    This seems like a poor reasoning for not adding it, and I hope @Koolo at least considers the above instead of just slapping down the hammer with the 'SEO POWER' excuse.

    Wrong. When you index for the key word 'Atlanta Music Forum' you're indexing automatically for the keywords 'Atlanta Music' also. Indexing first for it will be much harder then indexing for something like Atlanta Music Forum, which probably gets only a couple thousand searches a year but once you start indexing for it, profit.

    You can't just research SEO in my opinion because there's nobody that really knows how the indexing process of engines like google work 100% of the time, in my opinion you can just mess around with Meta Tags and experiment with H1, H2, H3, H4 tags in sequence and see how this effects your rankings.

    I've heard a rumor that if you include your content wrapped in just a standard <P> tag in HTML that it decreased the chance of your post indexing as fast as if you gave each starting <P> tag a class like <P class="content"> this has never been proven either.

    Depending on who you ask, you'll get a different answer for how SEO works.
