The Roof Cleaning Institute Of America Training & Certification Forum
"Find A Certified Roof Cleaner Directory"

We are planning to open the RCIA Forum back up to search engines. As I once warned you guys about, closing the forum to search engines has cost us (and you guys) dearly. All of us have lost all our backlinks, because most of our posts are hidden from Google! 

It is very simple guys, what Google can't see, it will not index! If it does not Index our posts, no backlinks are returned. 

And. the traffic on the forum has gone from nearly 1000 hits a day, way down to 200 hits! Yes, we are still dominating the search for Roof Cleaning, and promotional posts are showing up, but they will show up more better, and also more faster, if we are an open forum once again.

Before I direct Bob and Steve from Ugly Shingles to re open the forum,  now is the time to speak up. If you have any good reasons why the Forum should not be re opened, let's hear them.

Guys, roof cleaning is not a "secret" anymore. The knowledge to clean a roof is out there, and any seller of roof cleaning equipment will actually show a buyer exactly how to clean a roof, what to buy, and where to buy it from. 

Closing the forum only hurts US. It does not stop competition. Let's quit hurting ourselves, and allow Google to recrawl the Forum, so we can get the SEO Juice we all deserve, from this highly ranked roof cleaning forum.

Even though Ed & Mike self-deleted their accounts, I just restored them back to active. The decision to stay is back in their court, now that they may have calmed down. Lets see.

Is the new forum going to be a paid or free forum

 It will also be a paid forum Mike, like this one, so you will get memberships to 2 forums, for the same price! 

I think we can safely have one closed section on each forum, for premium members, and allow the rest to be open to the search engines.

ONLY paid members will have the right to make active signature links and promo posts on both forums. 

How does that sound to you ?

 I hope everybody reads and understands this-----hint, hint

 Thanks Jim! You know, I am in this too, with dam near 6000 posts on this forum. I too would like some backlinks from the forum! 

I do understand the reason to have a private, premium members area, and we will keep one. 

Hey, WTF happened to Da Bears yesterday ? Seattle won .....

 You're forgiven. After 3 years on here I know how people act when they're upset and I tend to overlook the comments,   most of the time..

Welcome back.
