Tampa Hub To Be Dismantled
It's time to cleanup, and take out the garbage. TampaHub.Com, which was the original hosting domain of Tampa Bay Modeling and Tampa Bay Film, is going to be dismantled. Older versions of Tampa Bay Film and other sites still exist on the old directories, and it is causing a duplicate content issue. Tampa Bay Modeling has more than enough new content to offset this issue, but not Tampa Bay Film. Tampa Bay Film will be receiving a lot of new content soon, but this is not nearly as critical as deleting the old site files.
Phase one, the deletion of the old site files, will be complete on Monday, November 2, 2009. The index file of Tampa Hub will be changed to remove it from the search engines. I am also removing all links to it on my web sites (this will take a while). When it expires next summer (July 20, 2010), it will be inert, and useless to cybersquatters. Another anchor, preventing search engine superiority, cut away. As you can see, I'm taking this search engine issue very seriously.
Let this be a lesson to us all: When you build something, take the time to do it right. Some parts of Tampa Bay Film are a mess, because I didn't do some things right. I'm good, but I'm not perfect. This is being corrected.
Oh, and effective immediately, all films added to the online film festival will have updated message board links to a message board index on Tampa Film Community, a Tampa Bay Film site. Obviously, this directory and index does not exist at the moment, but it will by Monday. The Tampa Bay Film message board on Tampa Film Community is roughly a year away, but the infrastructure will be in place to support it this weekend. The Tampa Bay Film message board will become the best message board for Tampa indie film, and should effectively put our competition, who are trying to cover Tampa indie film and spread propaganda, out of business altogether. By next year, a rival indie film blog will be out of business, as they will not be able to compete in any way (our articles, reviews, and photography blows them away, anyway). In 2011, we hope to inspire a certain web site to stop trying to cover Tampa indie film, as we will become the single most relevant source of all things Tampa indie film. May they all go out of business, forgotten relics of the past.
Then there are certain film festivals, which do not have the best interests of Tampa filmmakers in mind. Think that the recession has caused them to lose money? Just wait. We're going to take their sponsors away with an array of superior film festivals which are much more cost-effective to support. They will either adapt to the market which we will inspire, or they will go out of business. Either way, it's good news for Tampa indie film. Tampa filmmakers, remember: We are the only ones fighting for you, and fighting for your rights; we are being straight-up with you, and are not lying to you like so many others are, and have been. Which brings us to:
SAVE
TAMPA INDIE FILM!
Keep Tampa Indie Film Independent.
(Sigh). It's been almost a month since we declared that the Tampa Bay Film sites are be on standby (it's busier now than ever). It's kind of hard to instantly stop, and avoid tripping all over yourself, when you have a lot of momentum built up. In another week, perhaps we can begin the transition to standby (with a 80% reduction in updates for the Tampa Bay Film sites until early 2010). We're almost done with all of this work (please refer to the post on October 5). I have to run, and work on content. It will be good to be able to take a break from all of this and work on other things, BUT the sites have to be in position before we can put them in standby, because they have to be ready to resume in a few months. If this work is not done, they won't be ready then, and we'll be playing catch up for another year. We don't have time for that. The hard work will be done now, the sites will go on standby (with a few updates here and there), and then we will be ready to hit the ground running early in 2010, with aggressive coverage of Tampa indie film, and lots of work done; we will have the resources in place then to support the updates and coverage. Well, I have to get this done. It's costing me (more) money the longer that it takes.
