Webmaster Forums

I have been lurking around a couple of webmaster forums, for the last several months, trying to garner any information that will help me get the web sales moving. (My last order was on May 29th, and that was from a woman who works with my wife so doesn't really count...)

Best Practices Search Engine Forums focuses of course on Search Engine Optimization and has sections on specific search engines: google, yahoo, msn, etc. and directories: yahoo directory, dmoz, joeant, goguides, etc. etc. To be honest I have hardly glanced at most of the forums, focusing instead on the Google and yahoo sections. But there is a lot of good info there and seems to be well moderated.

Cre8asite Forums focus is more on overall website design with of course SEO thrown in. One of the most interesting forums they offer is the Website Hospital, where you can submit your website for review and have the forum members critique it. I am trying to get the courage up to submit the ol' Personalized Books website to it. (I do not take criticism well...)
