New features added to Murphy, NC Online Community
March 3rd, 2009 by John Dilbeck
Our Murphy, NC Social Networking Community is less than a month old and already we’re attracting visitors from four countries, including the United States, Canada, China, and Australia.
Over 17% of the visitors to the site are coming from the search engines, so that indicates that we’re getting indexed and found for both local and general searches.
The site is designed to be easily indexed by the search engines and there are many RSS feeds to make it easy to syndicate the content on other sites and to be indexed by the RSS aggregators.
Over time, as we get new members and increased participation, more visitors will find us and learn about what is taking place in Murphy, NC. I believe this community will be even more useful for the people who live here and join in the fun.
I am happy to do all I can to help promote our community, but I can’t do it all by myself, so I encourage you to join and participate.
Tell us what you are doing and keep us up to date on what’s happening with your business, organizations, churches, and other interests and activities.
When you join, you can customize your profile page with information about you and what you’re doing.
You have your very own blog there and can join in, or start, discussions in our forum.
I’ve been busy creating new groups to make it easy for people who share common interests to meet and interact with each other.
I don’t want to create too many groups, but I’m always listening to what you want, and if you want a new group created for your interests, just let me know.
The following groups are active and ready for you to join and participate in, and are presented in no particular order:
- Promote Your Business
- Music and Musicians
- Government and Politics
- New To Murphy
- Local Photography
- Murphy Small Business
- Murphy Real Estate
- Nonprofits and Volunteers
- Hunting and Fishing
- Gardening and Farming
- Arts and Crafts
- Merchant Circle Members
- Pet Lovers
- Murphy Dreamers
If you visit the groups page, you’ll see all the groups and a brief description of their purpose.
I am happy to do what I can to help promote Murphy, NC and the people who live here. I can cover a small part of the activities in our area, but your participation is required if our online community is to reach its potential.
Don’t be shy. Join in the fun and tell us what’s happening in your corner of the Murphy area.
Of course, it’s free!
I hope to see you there.
Act on your dream!
JD
