can we change the name of the message boards to something more clearly money/finance related so it will show up on a google search?
Unless you were a prior member at the MSN money boards, you wouldn't know what this is.

How about Mean Girl High? We come up as link #2 you google "money message board", but not if you google "finanical money board" we weren't even on the first page.

Personally, I think if all the women on here posted some of their inappropriate photos here that this would "attract" new posters

How about " Money Advice for High Sex Drive People ? "
Actually, how about Money, Investing, & Debt Discussion Boards ?

We've made some tweaks to affect how we show up in search engines. Its always an interesting discussion though. Do you all miss the days of a new person coming in and asking how to save money, despite having 2 car payment and $200/mo cable?

A lot of traffic on MSN was due to being directed here by finanical blogs/articles. Then people stayed after they found the boards.
I think Donna came over for a short while on Smart Spending but otherwise nobody came. WIR started to die off back on MSN when MP Dunleavy stopped writing.
I don't know how many people actually search for just a message board nowadays.
We got lots of bloggers on here maybe they could do some material and link to the boards for "further discussion"

Only now the posters have two car leases that are underwater and cable runs $300-350.

True dat. I found the place from a story on the MSN home page. Anyone think we can get Yahoo to adopt us?

Personally I never understood why MSN gave up this board.....Maybe traffic wasn't off the chain busy compared to other boards or what have you, but there are enough people here with some decent money that their advertisers could have reached. I would think that would be worthwhile (the niche market).

Can you imagine the type of foot traffic we'd get from Bundle's finanical pieces?
On second thought maybe we should get them to re-adopt us. That could provide some serious entertainment.

But I thought the idea of bundle was for discussions linked specifically to the articles (kind of like how today comments occur under articles)?
I never understood why that couldn't exist side by side by the MSN board, especially given the caliber of people advertisers could potentially reach on the old board.

or Mean Girls S&M (savings and money) discussion LOL! Most people are in debt. How about Debt (and how to get out of it), Savings, and Investing Message Board? Most google about those topics in some capacity or another.

So I have a personal finance blog, and I have referenced this place numerous times. Here's the thing, though- unless you're one of the big name personal finance bloggers, the only people who read your blog are other bloggers and maybe some friends and family. (My PF blog is read by other PF bloggers and some pet bloggers, because I also have a pet blog.) And while I love my PF blogging friends (and met two of them on these boards, before I started blogging and before they started blogging seriously), I don't know that we actually want a whole lot of PF bloggers on the site.
Why? Because the reason to have a blog is to talk about your ideas and your opinions. Very few are open to actual discussion. There are some absolutely amazing PF bloggers I would love to see on these boards, but the majority of them aren't actually interested in discussion or seeing things from another perspective. They have blogs to see their own words in writing, not to read what others have to say.
