Forum Moderators: open
1) Well Start off by telling your boss that the subsciber's forum has some Ultra Secret documents which will help our firm a lot.
2) If he catches your bluff then try showing him the thread by DigitalGhost Increasing Your Conversion Rate [webmasterworld.com] as an example of Long held secret document which was released to public recently.:)
3) If that does not work then there is only one alternative remaining. You start posting like Hell. Start of with Basics of SEO and then start spilling your guts out. Keep revealing amazing ideas in public and ultimately one of the subscribers will pay for your subsciption to keep your mouth Shut. ;)
Just for your Knowledge No. 1 failed. Very good chance of No. 2 failing in next few days. Really looking forward to No. 3

Subject: Webmaster World Subscription
Dear [Boss],
As you are no doubt aware, the importance to our company of a successful Internet presence cannot be underestimated.
Over the past few months, traffic to our website has increased by [X]%, a marked increase in conversion rate and "stickyness" (keeping visitors interested and coming back) - and this is due in no small part to the implementation of knowledge I have gained through my participation at webmasterworld.com.
The site offers a community style discussion board frequented by some of the best professionals in the field, and whilst nominally free, like all websites, it cannot remain viable unless a reasonable number of participants support the site by purchasing a subscription.
I believe that we are indebted to webmasterworld.com, not to mention that I wish to continue participating in the future, and would therefore like to purchase a subscription on behalf of our company.
The amount is $[X].
If you are happy with this, the most straightforward way would be for me to purchase a subscription online using my credit card, and claim the money back as expenses.
Would this be ok?
Thanks,
[you].
