We need more people who are pro and mods who are either experienced webmasters or have been in this field for a while ..
Here are some pros and cons that i can think of ...
Lets begin with the Pros --
# 1 - Their will be an increase in the quality and amount of traffic
# 2 - Wjunction will attract more webmasters who are experienced and can coherently convey what they want to say , right now its all about uploading and uploading and some more of it ... which makes this forum a bit vulnerable....
# 3 - Since services will de sold in the forum , the commercial value of wj will increase , and with that wjunction will attract more advertisers -- leading to more revenue and better services to the forum members .
# 4 - This is a webmasters forum and blackhat seo , affiliate marketing is a part of being a webmaster - either you agree or not , but its a fact , and this will lead to better threads that are more webmaster oriented than the regular 'NSFW HOT DUDE' threads lol
# 5 -Following on the 4th point , that will ofc boost the onsite seo of WJ ..
# 6 - Hopefully , their will be some big webmasters produced by this forum and that counts a lot ....also , their will be better Joint venture opportunities in and around the forum ...team work is good
Cons --
# 1 - Since services will be sold , chances of fraud will increase , but with time and manipulation of rules frauds will decrease ..so not a big problem ...just let every thread be approved by a mod who knows something about the service that an OP is selling ....
# 2 - Haters gonna hate , so their might be some opposition from the members who do not want to see a change in the wjunction as they know it ..and might leave the forum , but hey , its for the better good..
# 3 - Mods will have more responsibility than they have right now ... more fraud necessitates more vigilance , but that should not be a problem , as with this mods will be more experienced..
Thats all i can think of right now ...
