Topic: My crypto news site - cryptotalk.tech - page 4. (Read 1004 times)

So it is a news aggregator and you have a plugin that retrieves the first paragraph from other websites and adds a link if the user wants to continue reading the actual article and not just two words about it. Which might be your biggest weakness.

The $1 million dollar question, if your users keep seeing they are redirected to another website to read all the news, why would they keep coming to yours and not to the main source of the news and not be bothered to tap twice to get their content? Do you think once they go off your website and see the other is full of real content do you think they will tap or click back?  This is the main problem with news aggregators, there is always a better one and there is always a lack of original content, you might top a few of the other websites in some specific keywords because of the sheer amounts of related titles but you will never beat them due to the weight of the outgoing links.

So the most important thing, far more than design and name, how do you plan on keeping your users?
Because since everyone has already mentioend cryptotalk(.)org you've seen how once they stopped paying people everyone left!

The selling point, which one is it?


It's been years since Google didn't really care about the domain name anymore, without original content you have no chance of beating a website that doesn't even have a crypto-related name anymore. Besides, since Google has added the news tab everyone is just hitting that and no longer wastes their precious time typing 4 more letters.

Checking on Whois the domain will not expire until 2025


There's a possibility that it will relaunch again, but OP need not worry he is providing rich and SEO-optimized content than this forum, and he is using WordPress He can use a lot of SEO plugins If OP does a good SEO he can dominate the keywords Crypto talk and Cryptocurrency news or whatever keywords that you want to dominate its better to invest in good SEO plugins to configure your content to rank high.

I'm not affiliated with the site just sharing but I'm sure you have one or two SEO plugins an article-based platform should have one.

Hmmm... you are right. I checked it just now and it gave the Server Not Found error. So maybe it got torpedoed a few months ago. So in that case, that won't be a problem with OP (but I remember they were pretty notorious in 2019, 2020, then people here forgot about it).

I myself don't mind the site name being the same as other forums which sounds bad but you run the news with a pretty good domain name I like this.

Keep developing this news from forum users like you.

Just a suggestion! Can you add in a telegram bot with notifications when you publish a new article so there is an update from the telegram so we know there is new news from Cryptotalk.tech

Honestly, I've seen too many projects like this to be particularly impressed, but at least the whole project was started by someone who knows something about all this, so I hope the project won't shut down in a month or two.

Like others, I also noticed that the page loads very slowly through VPN, and that it is impossible to load it on TOR. This is something that should be resolved because those who value privacy will not be able to access the site, or it will be quite difficult for them.

As for the content, I personally have no interest in altcoins, so it would be good to separate the news related to Bitcoins for those who are exclusively interested in that. And yes, the domain name is not the best choice because it definitely has connotations with the biggest spam on the forum, which in turn is connected to that spam forum.

I remember cryptotalk was running a spam campaign in 2020 but that didn't last long. The domain name is fine but most importantly it's still down, it took me about a minute before the site stopped working.

As an idea, it is good, but if you can, through the news, build a measure by which you can evaluate the impact of the news on the price of Bitcoin using keywords, it will be useful.
Adding a mechanism to display and arrange topics is the most important, as we all get lazy after the first 3 links

Congratulations on your new website! I did some checks on your website and I understand that you are using WP Super cache, for improving the server response  time. I used GTmetrix to find out the reason why your website response
time is bad and it suggests using WP Rocket to reduce server response  time.

BTW, I do have a question for you? Is running a news aggregator website a good idea for now. I am new to this field and I have read that with new Google updates it is now not that easy to generate revenue from such website. I had a plan  similar like yours to start a website in different niche that would publish news through RSS feed, after doing some research, I shelved it.

Thanks darbit, maybe adding a translate button would be a cool feature for the Spanish community. If the traffic on the site start growing that button will be a must.


I was looking to the push notifications, and looks like we have to do those manually, it would be nice if we can automate the process on each publication, the main problem is that we get a lot of publications at the same time, and each time the RSS update it brings like 60 publications to the site. So, getting 60 push notifications every 20 minutes could be a hell.

And I already fixed the telegram link and installed a cache plugin, that way the site should work faster now.

First of all congratulations for this man! Great job!

Im not an specialist on web design or something related so i cant made a technical review.

About the name its quite a good one, and you were very smart in the selection, and also i can see a root from here, in that "Talk" part of the name.

I hope you the best on this one, and i also hope to see this page being used to catch news to forum members.

Checking it is offline now I am aware of which is a forum created by the scam exchange Yobit but the last time I visited it over a year ago it was a ghost forum whose members left it because they are not paying anymore, There's a chance that this forum is now offline or already taken down so OP will have no issue anymore being attached to that forum.
I'm sure with its rich content OP provided will have his own authority online and people will easily trust it.

I will say you are lucky to have such a good domain name. There are no need to change it. Branding is necessary. That .org domain made a negative branding for the name, but that does not mean the other TLD just give up. If your site produce good contents and able to benefit your subscribers then I don't see you will have any problem.

Premium domains are too much to spend for a small business. I like the red all over in your site. Good luck.

You are right guys, the site is taking sometime to load, I will look for a fix to make it load faster, that's the reason why it doesn't open with TOR, but I will look for a way to fix it.


I didn't know Cryptotalk dot org was a forum with a bad reputation, I chose this domain because was easy to remember for all. Domains Like CryptoNews are premium, and they aren't cheap at all.

Thanks for your feedback guys. I will work on the site this weekend, and I will add the telegram link too.

I can't access it using TOR, I don't know if this from my node settings or because of your server (slowly access problem)

There are many bots in Telegram that serve the same purpose, so creating a bot will be useful, and filtering descriptions will be the factor that makes more people attracted to your site, add more filters such as legal, trading, or related to a specific event or expected events. The domain name is good, but DOT io is more widespread than tech, and you can put small updates or summaries to publish in the forum. Ref links This could be your next step with little advertising.

I would not have used a domain name that says "cryptotalk" because that is connected to another forum: cryptotalk.org which is full of spammers trying to make a quick buck from a hundred posts, so it will not be easy for people to hear about your site by word-of-mouth. But I guess it's too late to change it now.

Maybe utilize push notifications so that people can get alerts without having to go to the site.

You're using WordPress which is good Correct this error https://cryptotalk.tech/telegram.com It results in a 404 error
You have not maximized the use of your WordPress theme which is https://tagdiv.com/ I recommend that you activate the featured news widget.

This theme is cool because of its Opt-in builder where you can offer plans for your exclusive articles I recommend you use the pop-up feature that is included in the theme to introduce your platform to give a general idea of what the platform is all about.

Your website is opening pages really slow for me, so I would definitely speed this up if possible.
Maybe you want to remove or add telegram link, because I am getting error page when I click Join our Telegram in top right corner.

I don't spend much time reading news everyday because it's mostly waste of time, so maybe I am not the best guy to give you good feedback.   

Who doesn't read the crypto news nowadays?, it is a good habit to be informed because that way we can generate better criteria for your next move with our cryptos. Reading the News with a nice coffee cup in the morning is the right way to start the day.

And there are a lot of news sources, we have coindesk, cointelegraph, and others. That's why I decided to create a site where I can get the news from the main news sites all in one place. The site is simple, and I'm open to ideas and observations.

What would you change or what would you add?

Updates proposed by the community:

dkbit98, Husires, ETFbitcoin, Lucius: Speed Improvement.

For this propose I installed the next plugins: WP Super cache and Performance Lab. This tools, has increased the speed a lot, but not enough to open it with ToR, maybe for that I would have to hide the images from the home page as ETFbitcoin suggested, but I like to see the images in the main page, Is part of the experience.

dkbit98, robelneo:Telegram Link
Is already fixed, I was doing it wrong by creating a group, i created a channel and now we have a descent link for it:

https://t.me/cryptotalktech

ETFbitcoin: Hide Images on the home page.
I really appreciate the feedback from an experienced user as ETFbitcoin, for sure hiding the images from the home page would make the site loads faster but is part of the experience, that' why i want to keep them.

Bureau: Install WP Rocket plugin
Even if the recommendation comes form a good source, the plugin is obsolete and isn't worth it.

hugeblack: Adding a mechanism to display and arrange topics.
When you click on any news just scroll down, when you reach the footer it will load another news of the same topic.

ajiz138: Add in a telegram bot with notifications when you publish.
You are a genius ajiz138, i didn't think it would be that easy. But now you can get the news on the telegram channel.


robelneo: SEO optimization
I still have to work on the SEO tools... is on the list.
