I am having real difficulty getting forum members. So far I have none who are people who I do not already know online. Any suggestions? http://www.n2kdesign.co.uk/forums |

Unique high quality content, good SEO and most of all for you, get forum software that people are familiar with.

i run ASP/.net So I am limited with forum software. I refuse to switch to php. I know a quite a bit but use it rarely. Its just a bandwagon thing as far as i'm concerned  |

reason i count is as a bandwagon is because all newbies jump onto it without giving ASP a second glance. Theres more php developers around than asp and so they don't gain any knowledge of ASP, they just take the anti ms coders words for it and end up going around slating it |

Well I started with ASP and moved to PHP.
A lot of people learn ASP in small business setups where the client is running server 2003 or IIS so I wouldnt say that is true.
also the ammount of PHP and ASP books you find are about equal.
I think PHP is a little better but not a huge amount.
The ammount of support out there for me means that PHP is the language of choice though.

PHP has a lot more functionality and Support than ASP, but its not anything compare to ASP.net.
ASP is usually considered the choice of professionals I think. Its rare that I see job advertisments for PHP developers but i see tonnes for ASP.

ASP.Net is to top heavy IMHO.
Good for Applications but not for websites.

Its extremly powerful and its great for web applications, altough there is a very slight performance drop due to the fact all code is compiled before hand.

The code generated by dot.net apps isnt really that SEO friendly though.
Not without some work anyway.

What are you talking about?
.net is server side just the same as php or asp 3. The only code it generates that is visible from the html source is for server controls such as form elements, which are irrelevant to SEO in any case?

Irrelevant unless thay happen to take up reams of space.
Tip, if you have a dot.net page turn the viewstate off.
if you cant, move the code towards the bottom middle of the page.
Google ranks the code at the start of the page more than the code at the middle to end of the page.

the viewstate code is just numbers tho and they tend to be ignored by the search engines as they arn't relevant.

Secret hint.
Google ranks the 1st 3to10kb of code more than the rest of the page.
