Come on guys take it easy on him.
Listen Man, Its easy to get roped into popups and ads... Not that there is anything wrong with monetizing your domain, infact I am sure we would all love to do that
Here is where you may be going wrong. Content, by which I mean; articles, resources, commentaries, biographies, or any relevant media source that your users will come (and stay) for.
Your excessive ad use will not do anything benefial for your traffic statistics. Google and any other crawler will not "see" your domain as relevant.
If you want to create an enviroment for users to meet and great, then write articles about your users. Take the time to do interviews and post biographies on the main page. Install the blog module and let your users write content for you. People are suckers for diaries.
Its cool that you have taken an interest in XOOPS and I hope you stick with it. Give it time you will find your path.
cheers.
