I think you are getting it wrongly, anyone is free to promote Bitcointalk forum in any other media platforms. What I meant is that Bitcointalk itself may not have the time to run a promotion about this platform to another social media platforms like twitter or Facebook even instagram. The Official Bitcointalk account on twitter has not been active since August 2018 which is about 5 years now, to show this forum doesn't really looking at running a promotion to other media channel if so, the Bitcointalk handle on twitter would have been very much active.

It's just your assumption if you think Bitcointalk don't have timer to run promotion through other social medias, there's always a person willing to handle the official Bitcointalk account, if the administrator worried about it, they can create another one account which is unofficial forum account and it's controlled more trusted users.

They just don't want to promote this forum through other social medias, nothing else.

CMIIW but I think the Bitcointalk show youtube channel might be controlled by Cyrus and he want to promote Bitcointalk outside this forum.

Why need to be shame to promote Bitcointalk forum outside? as long as you're promote it without write invest in Bitcoin in a day to double your money, it's fine for me. Just advertise this forum as the side of education.

If they're spamming and plagiarism, the moderators can delete their post and ban their account which mean there's nothing to worry.

If you may ask yourself, "Why does bitcointalk have so much traffic despite not being advertised anywhere before?" The community exists to give a forum for conversation for its members, not to make money by inviting individuals to join them through adverts on other websites or in public places.

This, among other things, will make you believe once more that bitcoin can stand on its own without the assistance of any agency or government, which will then impose regulations on it. Because of the increasing users of bitcoin currency, traffic in this forum will continue to grow as new users of bitcoin seek more information on its use.

This is a real time example on how the forum also get good exposure. According to you, as the projects advertise here, they also link their profile here on bitcointalk to their websites such that their visitors can also locate this forum from their websites.
That is fair enough if each project brings in some percentage of people here.

But according to similarweb, Bitcointalk traffic is keep decreasing from the past 2 months, even though there's always a new signature campaign comes up and many promotions are run in this forum.

It's true if we're use our logic, it should increase the forum exposure, but the statistic showed different.

For my little knowledge if that happens there may be a massive spamming and plagiarism which might easily leads to regular banning as it could be too worrisome for people to read rules and regulations, unlike facebook, twitter and Instagram

Have you ever seen that another forum advertises on football matches? Not only does it make no sense, but such advertising is quite expensive if we are talking about top football leagues such as the English Premier League or the German Bundesliga. However, if you have money and want to buy advertising in a special place, no one will forbid you to promote bitcointalk, not even on the jersey of your favorite football team Wink

This will most likely happen in the future, given that forums are not something that attracts new generations. In fact, the number of active users and posts has generally decreased in the last 5+ years, some will say because the merit system was implemented, and some will say that it may be for some other reason. However, I think that for anyone who searches the internet for information about Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general, the search can very easily lead to this forum.

Many projects place links to their advertisements in the forum (ANN topics.) In return, the forum provides them with a free interface without restrictions, and even some scam is not deleted just because it is fraud, and thus a free platform to obtain clients and evaluations.

Also, the expectations campaigns play an essential role in making the forum prosperous. There are more than 150 active accounts in these campaigns, they create more than 1000 posts daily, all of these posts put visitors to those projects, and those projects put the forum links on their pages.

Thanks you for your explanations.

The advertisements are way of business promotion ajd this forum is just a place to have open bitcoin and crypto related discussions not to cover the profits motive so why they would advertise about it? Those who are interested about it can find lot of ways to join the forum and we have lot of campaigns as @hugeblack already pointed about.

Apart from this the forum has YouTube channel with BTCtalkShow name where they upload videos on different topics and latest video was dropped and also discord channel but if you are saying about those shilling and fake promotions from the influencers then we don't need anyone of them frankly saying because it doesn't work that way.

For my little knowledge if that happens there may be a massive spamming and plagiarism which might easily leads to regular banning as it could be too worrisome for people to read rules and regulations, unlike facebook, twitter and Instagram they are a free going advertising platform but Bitcointalk isn't that common to bulk those shity adverts and promotion. Though there could be more reason why it remains the way its.

It is true that social media platforms like Facebook, twitter and Instagram does not also advertise anywhere but people advertise for them indirectly when they sample their profiles which will include their twitter and Instagram handles.

Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram and the rest they do advertise tehmselves. I came across an ads in youtube while search for a video there and the ads was for whatsapp.

I don't think going around different platforms trying to get new members to sign up in bitcointalk is worth the stress, because alot of them might just come here and start maing post the same way they do in thier social media handles, take Facebook for example.
And as long as Bitcoin is still in existence then the forum will still remain been functional, and as long as people keep picking interest in bitcoin then new members will keep swarming into the forum.

While viewing football during weekends I see companies like Stake, Sportbet.io and many others advertise on the display boards and also sponsor football clubs and I also see them here advertising.

But I have never seen bitcointalk advertisment anywhere but yet there is traffic.

Discovering this community was not easy for me because I have known crypto since 2019, but I only recently got to know the forum through a friend. And despite the fact that this forum is not advertising the community, it still gets traffic because there are already a lot of registered members here, and the networking ability of humans also brings in more newbies. Someone mentioned the forum to me, and I have mentioned it to many other people as well, so the network continues. I think if the forum is even running an advertisement, it will cause a lot of spam because many spammers will create accounts. Bitcointalk is better the way it's going.

Running a few advertisements on social media would attract more people to the forum but it will come with some challenges. It will attract a whole range of people that might not have any interest in bitcoin. There will be a high rate of shitposters, scammers, and spammers. So it will have to take extra effort to clean up the forum because most of these new members will treat the forum like social media. The majority of people that register currently in this forum are either referred to the forum or found it through research. The above two mediums will help to reduce the influx of uninterested members.

I don't think members will reduce drastically because Bitcoin awareness is spreading speedily. And Bitcoin price is not doing badly recently which means that more people will be attracted to the sector and the forum.

Perhaps you’re searching the wrong places. The casinos, mixers, and exchanges you see that’s being advertised on the forum all have the link to their bitcointalk Ann thread on their website, that also promotes the forum and at the same time gives the company legitimacy and the trust of the crypto community.

Based on data from bpip.org site, we currently have about 3,548,098 profiles registered on the forum with only 55,458 profiles classified as active profiles and the rest are inactive, deleted and archived profiles. This stats do not include the guests that visit the forum everyday without registering an account. I don’t think Theymos needs to do anything to increase traffic, those who are interested in bitcoin will definitely find this forum.

You mean, a waste of money aside from time. Making advertisement to social media giant platform have benefits even for a forum, many forum or site usually do that on its early stage. But since this forum is as old as Bitcoin, and serves as the history book then making ads on other platform isnt necessary.

That too. It seems I forgot to include about wasting money which I am sure you know that ads cost money. Maybe the reason why I didn't include it is because we all know that most ads cost money unless you are in partner to someone or in a group that makes it free. I said it that it's a waste of time because the time spend to find a platform for ads should be spend for the forum.

Besides this forum do just like other socmed platforms for accepting ads that can generate more money, but since it was stop for many reasons so forget about that.

Also, bitcointalk links are something like prohibited to be shared on other social media platforms because of malicious definition it has on wiki sites and other ill description of other news outlet like tolerating scams and letting or advertising mixers which are known for ML, well, that's i what know.

There are people who didn't know Bitcointalk forum but later on stumbled upon this forum where the others are introduced to this forum by those people who already know about this platform. That's what I think why ads won't be needed.

No, I don't know the exact reason - but chances are that bitcointalk.org doesn't need the special ads that are posted on some website. But if you want to contribute then invite your friends or advertise it on your website for free.

Yes, the statistics are very volatile and are likely influenced by the price of bitcoin itself. If bitcoin does hit new high then I can safely say there will be a lot of active users coming back just for discussion or for some other reason.

Simply because bitcointalk doesn't need that. Anyone who knows bitcoin or trying to learn about bitcoin will eventually stumbled on this website maybe now or on later date because this site is created by the Bitcoin creator itself, Satoshi. As this forum serves as archives on all bitcoin history on its early years. Besides that, unlike what you've mentioned bitcointalk is not a company or something that serves like a company or business.

OP, I have to ask: How much advertising have you seen on social media for straight-up discussion forums like bitcointalk? I don't use social media, so it's an honest question--but I would be willing to bet there isn't a hell of a lot. Those other services you mentioned (Stake, Sportbet.io) have a huge incentive to gain new members, as they're trying to sell people something.

But bitcointalk? For one thing, there's no need to actively recruit new members when signature campaigns do that automatically. And for another, I doubt Theymos would spend money to draw in new members who'd probably degrade the quality of discussions being had, because if someone hasn't found bitcointalk by now, there's probably a very good reason for it (nothing to say about crypto/ignorant about bitcoin/whatever). An influx of newbies would be a fucking nightmare, way more trouble than whatever the traffic is worth.

And yeah, as has been said....the forum treasury has more than enough funds to keep the lights on, so to speak.

Every user can come and go anytime and for any reason. But bitcointalk remains the most recommended discussion forum when you start to realize what bitcoin is. Bitcointalk doesn't need any kind of promotion or advertisement in various places, but believe me this forum will continue to get interest from new users every day.

Without advertising, bitcointalk has 3,548,069 registered profiles. But only 55,423 profiles are still active, at least in the last 3 months.
