I've noticed on google its on the first page but quite far down, that is if we type in "healing sanctuary" into google is there a way to bring it further up? i don't know? i have some computer skills but they are limited. The original intention was to create a forum / space which allowed as open a discussion on all areas of mental health & everything that it goes into, & to be as bias free as possible. To be able to respectfully discuss all the anti / critical / pro / alternative psychiatry / pharma views from all the different theories & perspectives. So many forums / pages seem biased to particular positions / agendas with it all. This is a free forum hosting / platform - & is limited in ways - it does get a lot of views but not many people join / post. i needed some kind of funding stream & interest from other people with the same vision with it all to try & take it further. i am in discussion with a guy in the USA about the project.

The real vision that i have of things - i would love to see a transformed society / system around the understandings & treatment of people suffering a mental health crisis & healing centres within every community - healingsanctuary.proboards.com/thread/3756/comprehensive-community-approaches-mental-illnessOther than post links & articles on here & write letters / campaign around it all - there isn't a lot else that i can do.

i posted my honest thoughts in the project plan thread Thanks - for it all to be done properly it needs a team of people involved; genuinely interested in this project & all singing from the same hymn sheet, who have more technical knowledge of these areas - a team of admin & moderators - a funding stream - a forum hosted on a more professional & functional platform / etc. i can't do it all on my own & there isn't the interest in the vision of it all.

I know a little about SEO, search engine optimisation, which is the art of getting things to rank high on google. It’s about getting links to your site on other trusted sites. For example if you can get ten or twenty other webpages to post links to healing sanctuary, then google will rank you higher. But I think the core problem is getting other people who are already kind of interested to come and visit healing sanctuary. You could do this by Facebook adds or youtube ones, targeting other pages which have subjects or creators known for this kind of subject. Its a kind of cross-promotion.

In part I think it’s difficult to interest people in a forum, especially one where they don’t personally have experience of what it is all about. At the moment the forum is about “integral and holistic models of mental health”, if it hasn’t changed since the last time I was here, but I think most average mental health service users wouldn’t even know what that was? If you want to make it appeal more, I suspect having a simpler message is going to be key.
