Are you leaving money on the table? / Wordpress idea

11 replies
Here's my idea.
you have Wordpress site that gets 50+ visits a day from people passionate about certain subject that your site covers.

I'll write wordpress plugin that will allow you to build *SEO Optimized* chat room embeddable into any page of your site.

So your visitors will have a chance to enter chat room and ask question about your subject and communicate with other visitors.
The way I'll make it is people will be able to see history of previous chats - so they can ask question and check it later to see if someone (you, or others) answered. Of course funnest part of chat - is live communication with likeminded people.

Here goes the best part - SEO. I'll make it so Google will see last 200 chat messages on any page you want. This will be keyword rich, unique, always changing text contents on your site.
And that the HUGE difference between this plugin and other crappy chat javascript or flash widgets. When you use widgets - neither you nor google have access to actual chat text contents later on.
With my software - anything that is being said/chatted on your site - is saved in *your* database on *your* site. You are the owner and you have full control over it and of course you have ability to pull this data and present it as rich, unique text content directly inside any page of your site - straight to Google.

- Visitors are happy - they have a chance to live chat on your site and get instant or delayed answers.
- Google is happy - your site gives Google lots of unique, genuine, 100% on the subject, keyword rich, indexable text contents.
- you are happy. You engage your visitors - you ranking is up with all the goodness that follows, including sales of whatever you sell.

Any thoughts on it?

    That's a pretty cool idea. Moderation might be a bit of a headache though :/ For bonus points, have it integrate with aweber so you get sign ups when they choose to talk.

      Yes, Aweber / Mailchimp integration would likely be included. Makes perfect sense of course.

    Sounds interesting, but I'm just afraid that chat won't work well on low visited sites.
    When there is nobody in chat new visitors won't start chat alone.

    Potentially interesting idea.

    My advice would be to consider making it a plug in for
    intense debate.

    Intense debate allows login via:

    Twitter
    Facebook
    Wordpress
    Guest
    or Intense Debate.

    You'll immediately be generating a social media
    aspect and immediately have a large volume
    of users who are into the whole "chat thing".

      Good point - I'll look into that too. Thanks for hint!

    Sounds great - Nikolaaa has a good point tho'.

    Would love to see a live chat plugin like Meebo me with SEO.

    Maybe it could be a feature just to have it as live chat between visitor and site owner (if they're online)?

    Good idea, but why reinvent the wheel?

    I'd use a Forum instead of chat messages. You want your content to remain on the site instead of getting purged. Also, chat messages are never really that keyword rich ... I'm talking from experience here.

    A proper Forum is a better solution in my opinion.

    Hi - I agree with the comment about low visitor sites. Statistically, at 3 minutes per visit, you need around 480 visitors per day to get more than 1 person on the site at a time (assumes linear distribution). I think a better idea is to make less chat and more 'how can we help you?', with maybe a list of questions that need answers (left by previous visitors or as part of set up feed).

    Your idea is a good one, it just needs a few tweaks I think.

    My 2c worth. regards Allen

    Can't the Wordpress threaded comments built in feature accomplish most of this already?
    I mean the conversational portion of it?

      Not in a real time chat sense.
      Advantage of real time chats - is you get instant reply, instant answer, instant connection.
