Are you new to setting up a server and need a bit of pointing in the right direction? This is the place to be.

Hey everyone, hope this is the right forum for this (and not against the rules), if not I'll remove it

I just wanted to announce that I've re-launched www.minecraftserverfinder.com and hope everyone who runs a server might be inclined to join.

Why should you sign up for yet another top100 site?

  • The site is relatively new, so that means you have a very good chance at top placement
  • The domain name is old, but gets about 500-1000 pageviews a day just from referrals and organic searches. This equates to about 200 unique visitors - more are on the way as I ramp up advertising.
  • It's a fast, secure, and a clean site - visitors have a positive experience browsing.
  • You get neat-o dynamic forum signatures like these: Image
Thanks for hearing me out - if you have any questions, just reply or shoot me an email: [email protected]

Should be able to see the server IPs if you click on a banner on the website! :D

Will be adding the ability to upload servers without the need to have a banner image later today!

Also, we recently added a twitter/facebook feed. We'll be updating it with tips for Admins throughout the day. Cheers!

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to write and say thanks for your support. I'm almost at 100 listings now with more and more visitors each day.

I made the following changes to the site:

- You no longer need a banner, if you do not upload anything the default "Banner" will just be your server name title in text
- I've added a twitter feed @serverfinder - and no it's not me just spamming advertising, I actually post about useful URLs and link to cool admin tutorials. Take a look for yourself (or not!)

Cheers

Hey everyone,

I was hoping to get some more feedback from you all.

  • I've removed the "pay" element from my site. Server owners used to be able to purchase a Sponsorship listing which entitled them to 2x the votes whenever someone voted. This has been removed now.
I want to add some more filter tags. So far, I want to add the following:

  • Kid Friendly
  • Spoutcraft
  • Skycraft
  • Factions
Can you think of any other filter tags or further enhancements that I can make to the site? I appreciate all the feedback so far everyone. Thanks again.

Hey guys, I just wanted to update you all:

I added a new feature to the site, where every single server has a chance of being randomly displayed at the top of the main page. If your server has been voted for within 24hours, it will be randomly displayed at the top of the list on each page view. The more votes a server gets within 24 hours, the higher the chances of it appearing.

In an effort to make advertising easier and more affordable, I've introduced:

Pixelpalooza!

What is it? It's a self-serve advertising component of MinecraftServerFinder.com. Users can pay as little as $0.70 for 1 year of advertising.

Features:
- Banner is at the top of all listings
- Ad space is guaranteed for 1 year
- Your ad is self-serve and can be edited at any time
- Shameless ripped off from Inspired by Million Dollar Homepage
