    The only reason why you must have not received any sign ups is because you did not mention the website address.

    Also, its not easy to promote your website these days. I suggest that you first contact your friends and relatives and ask them to post genuine treads and discussions and then try to drive traffic from search engines.

    Also, do not waste your money on paid traffic. It won't help you much and you will simply loose your money.

    For getting lots of members there at your forum you need to arrange some contests there such as referral contest,higher thread starter contest etc.

    You can hire few paid posters as well to add good posts there at your forum. Also promote it through avatar purchasing and signature purchasing throughout other forums.

    DON.

    I checked it and you are using a free forum on a sub-domain which it too bad, not recommended. If you want to create your own brand and identity, you should go for your own forum, just like DP.

    Also, people are required to register to view the forum which is a another negative point. 90% people will not register unless they see what's the forum is all about.

    Also, you will loose the search engine traffic which would otherwise drive free traffic to your website.

    I suggest you get a domain and install a free forum. If you choose me, then you get a .com for just $7.49 along with free web hosting with 10gb space and 300 gb traffic and 1 click scripts installer. Just visit ruchiedomains.com.

    Let me know if you have any queries.

    Domain is a way too long + it's a subdomain ( free ) .. Get a top level domain name ( .com ) and hosting - that could be your first step :)

    one simple SEO traffic trick that will help, get a youtube account and post vids to promote your site and make sure to add links on your account page and vid pages plus edit your site url into the vids (there's info around the net and on youtube to do this.) :) I have strong traffic results doing this myself, one of my sites gets 300-400 unique's a day :eek: so your guaranteed to get visitors.

    I already mentioned that.

    Its always better to use your own domain with a economical hosting and install some free forum script. Later you can upgrade it to VB also since you can import all the data in VB.

    Visit this url for details on what I offer http://ruchie.com/go.php?id=freeextras
