Building Meaningful Communities: How to Connect and Grow Together
I recently came across some insightful thoughts by Kathy Coffey, the executive director of Leadership Snohomish County, on the power of community-building. She’s had some truly unique experiences—from finding community in places like church to more unexpected ones like a mafia bar! What really stood out to me was her message about choosing to actively search for and cultivate a community that is both vibrant and deeply connected. Kathy shares how personal loss at an early age shaped her view on the importance of building connections, and she calls us all to reconsider how we think about and engage with the communities we’re part of. Whether it’s through local organizations, professional networks, or even our own neighborhoods, Kathy encourages us to foster communities that are not only fulfilling but also supportive and engaging. Here are a few key points that stood out: • Start with connection: Find the common ground that can unite people, whether it’s shared interests, experiences, or goals. • Engage authentically: A community thrives when its members actively contribute and support each other. • Make the choice to build: Building a strong community requires ongoing effort, collaboration, and a commitment to inclusivity. Kathy Coffey’s work is a reminder that community-building is a choice that requires action, time, and effort. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this—how do you approach building community in your own forum? What’s worked for you, and what challenges have you faced along the way?

What do you do to attract visitors and gain traffic?
Backlinks are still a core component of search engine ranking, especially when they come from relevant, authoritative websites. While link farms have been ineffective for the past 7-8 years, and keyword stuffing is no longer a valid strategy, backlinks from high-quality sources remain a strong ranking factor. SEO is not ignored by search engines—it’s simply evolved. The key to success today lies in creating content that aligns with user intent and addresses the specific needs and queries of your target audience. Search engines are now much better at understanding context, so producing content that answers questions and provides real value is crucial. Additionally, technical SEO elements such as header tags, alt tags, and title tags remain important. They help search engines understand the structure and relevance of your content. Optimizing these elements ensures that your content is properly indexed and more likely to rank well for relevant searches.

Launch method?
As long as your domain doesn’t contain explicit language or profanity, it’s unlikely to be flagged under safe search filters. The same principle applies to your content: if there’s excessive profanity, it may trigger safe search restrictions. However, a few instances of mild language here and there generally won’t result in your site being labeled as such.

Community Chat Thread
The Chiefs took it. I wasn’t expecting the Texans to win. The final score was 27-19. I’ll also be watching the Ravens and Steelers game. I hope Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson do well!

How many websites do you own?
Slow and steady is definitely the best approach these days. As long as you’re making progress, you’re on the right track. Keep up the great work!

Have you or would you ever use Black Hat SEO?
Exactly. The use of blackhat seo isn’t worth it. Sure, you can get results fast and easy, but the end game isn’t worth the risk. Whitehat seo has been my go to method for many years and I don’t see myself ever using blackhat.

I have Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, and Bluesky pages set up for my forum. I also run a subreddit on Reddit where I share topics from my forum. Currently, my forum’s Facebook page has 311 likes, I have 146 followers on Tumblr, and 330 followers on Twitter. I’ve had more success gaining traffic and users through Tumblr. I try to post as often as I can across all of my social media pages.

Google Search will reportedly have a dedicated ‘AI Mode’ soon
[HEADING=1]The new option will open an interface similar to Google’s Gemini chatbot, The Information reports.[/HEADING] Google is planning to add a new “AI Mode” to its search engine, according to a report from The Information. The company will reportedly display an option to switch to AI Mode from the top of the results page, allowing you to access an interface similar to its Gemini AI chatbot. The new AI Mode tab would live on the left side of the “All,” “Images,” “Videos,” and “Shopping” tabs, The Information reports. When you receive a response in AI Mode, The Information says Google will display links to related webpages and “a search bar below the conversational answer that prompts users to ‘Ask a follow-up...’” [HEADING=2][/HEADING] This tracks with Android Authority’s report from earlier this month, which spotted an AI Mode in a beta version of the Google app. 9to5Googlealso dug up codesuggesting you can use AI Mode to ask questions using your voice. The Verge reached out to Google with a request for comment but didn’t immediately hear back. With OpenAI rolling out search in ChatGPT for all users, Google is likely under increased pressure to consolidate search and AI. The company already displays AI search summaries for some queries and recently expanded the feature to dozens of more countries in October.

I tend to be more productive in the evening hours than I am in the day. My creativity is always at its finest at night.
