I just started my own forums, spent so much for the Vbulletin license, Added so many mods to get people to visit my forums and post some quality posts and redeem points for great merchandise like PlayStation III, PSP, Wii and many more. People are coming to the forums, they are registering their names but they are not making no posts. Please guys tell me what I m doing wrong, I m trying to stay away from the Webmaster forum idea and offer a general forum. I cannot afford spending anymore money, I was hoping to start making a little bit so I could have better prizes. If you would please visit the forum and give me some advice I would be very grateful. Here is the link checkthisup.com
You’ve a good start and I appreciate what you’re doing. How much you spent for the site is not a big point right now, you’ve completed developing your site is a first success. I wish to make some comments about site. You should change the theme color of the forum. To me, it looks dull, pls try to use bright color theme rather than green. The text style you used to write checkthisup.com in banner should be changed and place your own logo before it. See, how DP uses it with a simple text. Optimize the color and placement of your ads. Do not post or create threads yourself a lot right now. Better you spend some $$ to hire people to post a good number of quality content in your forum. Beside, you make comments. It will help your site to get ranked in the search engines. You must require search engine optimization and marketing for your forum. You may visit “Search Engines†and “Marketing†section in DP to get more help and you’ll be beneficial I believe. Good luck.
