website traffic has fallen

[poesia-verses]

Hello everyone.

The website traffic has fallen dramatically since forums launched the promo in the square window to the right. I monitor the stat data - the quantity of refusals has increased thrice to become 70% in average. The forum is collapsing and it's losses for your service. The visitors seldom guess that they should press the cross in the corner. They are merely regular users. My old forum didn't have this feature and there were zero refusals. .... 

 Please remove the block.

Hello,

What block are you talking about? May you provide a screenshot?

Also SEO (Search Engine Optimatizion) is something you should read up on as it will help increase you traffic. Therr are several good tutorials on how to do this in the tips and tricks section.

Is that a pop up ad? If so forumotion didnt add that, Forumotion does not use pop up ads. Do you have alny scripts installed? What browsers does it appear on? Have you tried using a different browser? What is your forum url?

[Sir. Mayo]

A few questions:
- Forum Url
- Forum Version
- Do you have any java script installed
- Did you do any template editing.

Hello @poesia-verses

Personally, I am not able to see this advertisement neither on my computer nor on my iPad.
Try to clear your cache.

Also Your browser may be infect with adware or a bad add-on /extension.

if your using Firefox they have a support forum like here at forumotion. They are pretty great at helping users, in fact i often help out over there as well. However lets see if its something with your forum first.

To confirm if it is a browser issue may you try using a different browser?

-Brandon

[poesia-verses]

Strange.
In All browsers is it. from 2014 authumn all forums forumotion.com, forum2x2.ru and other (of this service). Fall traffic November 2014. Pop-up ads is bad.

My browser Opera and Firefox. Wishout any scripts. In other websites in web no pop-up. Maybe it is only for russian zone?

Ask on your forum if other members see it.

[poesia-verses]

It only for russian IP this ads. Contract terms company of reclame - so says Admin forum2x2.ru . Foreign users not see it. 

http://help.forum2x2.ru/t33906-topic?highlight=%E1%E0%ED%ED%E5%F0+%F0%E5%EA%EB%E0%EC%E0 - theme about this (block is moved to right side now). 

From August 2014. Sorry english
PS maybe this is sanctions?

[brandon_g]

Well if the Russia government require forumotion to place pop up ads for all users of tbe located in their country then forumotion has no control over that.

If that is indeed the case that is.

Might want to talk/complain to Puttin about that though.... (If he even listens).

-Brandon

[SLGray]

Forumotion and any other Forumotion communities can not control what governments allow or do not allow.  Because of this, some groups of people will see certain things on forums.  For example, for a while the Turkish government exactly blocked access to all Turkish forums.  Another example is China blocking Google services which causes issues on forums.
