Any suggestions on how we could get Bharat Rakshak to be part of the 'High Rollers'?
No, let's hear it. We are always open to suggestions as long as they help promote the website.Originally posted by Sridhar:

OK - a sanitized version. Show pics of Rambha and a Rambha side by side and see the page views zoom.Originally posted by Rakesh Koshy:

Hmm!!! That's right. When I want REAL QUALITY discussions I go to Sulekha.Some kind of BR news section like Sulekha's newshopper, with Indian military news .. could increase traffic to the site significantly, compared to the present situation where .. the children's sandbox called the forums
Shows you what comes of not regularly browsing BRF.WHY wasn't I informed of this earlier?
I went on vacation and so did funny g hence the (s)low traffic.Originally posted by Jagan:
According to the webpage - we were 55000 three months back..our rank fell down. too little traffic on the BRF i suppose..so guys get up and get going...
Its in times like these, when I am unsure whether our esteemed Narayananji is joking or is for real.Originally posted by narayanan:
I have it on good authority that Donald Rumsfeld, George Fernandez and Ariel Sharon all insist on summaries of the previous day's BRF advice delivered to them at the breakfast table.
Well then, if we are in the service of the Govt, when do we get our shiny badges and guns!?!? And when does Rani Mukherjee and other actresses come and pay us visits?!?!Originally posted by narayanan:
Rakeshji:
Seriously, let me put it this way: If they don't, they sure should!
There seems to be firm evidence that (the least stupid) Paki journos and the (best) desi journos read BRF. Readership of BRM articles at some pretty high levels is confirmed - details "CLASSIFIED".
Stuff collected on those much-sneered-at Forum threads has, I know for a fact, traveled in summary form to, shall we say, offices very close to the Top. The quoted comment above is real - which raises the question: how come the Official Sources didn't figure out those things themselves long ago?
It takes intelligence, patience and discipline to really form conclusions from the Forum discussions. That's why its called "intelligence".
Most of the real victories (and there are quite a few) must remain unsung. But hey, that's why people like me bloody-mindedly resist all efforts to make the Forums "serious", "orderly", "focused" etc. Insights and innovations are rarely derived from conventional thinking along narrow canyons. And rarely derived unless people are really having fun.
without a comments section ..
It is pretty easy, actually too easy - which is why the Alexa rankings aren't worth a whole lot. Alexa guagues a sites' "popularity" through its toolbar. So if every regular BRite were to download the Alexa toolbar and then visit BR, they'd push up the rankings.Originally posted by Rakesh Koshy:

nobody can say it better than that.The "Having Fun" part is most important one which in the larger context will serve the purpose of the Forums.

I think this idea is good - even if it has come from aOriginally posted by narayanan:
So - if u expand BRM and have, say, a "USA-Cuba" section (like "indiapakistan" in Foreign Affairs), a UK-France section, a Russia-Germany section, etc., and occasionally publish a paper dealing with each of those, THEN u can pretend to be "global".
Also, my suggestion is to invite Pakis to contribute articles in large numbers,

One possible suggestion for this website: Some kind of BR news section like Sulekha's newshopper, with Indian military news updated daily along with any links to other sites. The military/strategic news folders could be leveraged for the purpose.

Also, the "New Issue of BRM is out" thread is not enough splashy advertising. You have to have a banner ad on the main BR page as each issue comes out. Much of the "popularity" of the "top" journals is circular hype. IOW, X writes a piece of garbage and it gets published. Then Y writes that X's new article has appeared. Then Z writes that Y, quoting X's new article, said....
The trick used by those is to publish an array of articles on an array of topics, and of course the "objective peer review" ensures that only stuff with the "right" p.o.v. gets accepted.
