It's been a bit more than five years now that our
Webmaster Help Forum
has been up and running, helping webmasters around the world. Over the years, over tens of
thousands of users have discussed various topics in well over 100,000 threads, helping each other
to improve their websites and to solve a variety of issues that web publishers are confronted
with. Among those users is a group that we call the
"Bionic Posters,"
users who have proven to be consistently helpful and knowledgeable, selflessly helping others to
tackle seemingly insurmountable problems.
It's great to have such an awesome community—but thanks is best said by those who are
helped. Here is some of the feedback that we collected this year:
"Thank you for the time you have spent helping me. It is genuinely appreciated."
"Thank you to everyone who helped with my problem! My creaky old 1996 era website is all
cleaned up and doing just fine now! Good Guys Rule!"
"WOW!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for your help! I was reluctant to post because I thought you
guys might think my site is too small, too insignificant, etc. Thanks so much! To me, it's a
BIG deal!"
"My traffic has doubled and I am now either top or close to the top in search terms"
"Thanks. Hopefully my late night paid off then, all the help and information has been
great!!!!!!!"
"Wow Webado Thank You Again.. You Really Know Your stuff! (...) You Are a True professional
and Seriously The Only Person That Could Even Figure This out. I even Spoke to Other Top
Specialists and YOU were the Only one who told me what to do and what was wrong."
"You are AMAZING! Thank you so much!"
"Finally, thanks so much for your concern and prompt reply, Squibble. Can't imagine a person
would deligated his efforts to someones you don't even know and met. (...) Thanks for your
help!! It means everything to me!"
"Wow thanks so much! I have just been to the hot springs in Banos Ecuador, the volcano is
rumbling and the town has evacuated but I am still here talking Apache, now that is
dedication, I will test your helpfulness out 2moro! Thanks so much!!!"
"THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU! YOU ARE SOOOO AMAZING! MY BLOG IS GONE FROM GOOGLE AND ALL THE
OLD POSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT TOO! THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU!"
"It worked! Thank you very much for your help Cristina :)"
"I could NEVER have seen what's possible without this forum. I am so grateful."
"Thank you so much for your detailed response to my questions. In 10 years of me having a
website, no one has explained these concepts better to me than you did."
"IT WORKED!!! Thank you so much for saving me the grief and embarrassment of this problem. I
truly appreciate both your knowledge and guidance."
"Thank you so much for such a detailed answer and putting into terms I can easily understand.
(...) Where shall I send the batch of brownies?"
"Thank you so much Squibble you are a hero. I have done what it says and i will check to see
if i appear in google! Thanks again!"
"you guys are amazing! thank you so much redleg! (...) and if you happen to ever be in san
carlos give me a shout - you deserve at least a beer and a lunch! "
"Thank you Squibble, Vanessa, Cristina, and Ishigaki for weighing in on this and helping me.
I hope I can pay it forward one day."
