I was wondering for effective ways to bring for a short period of time(1 month for example) a massive visitors to a forum. (targeted visitors) thanks in advance... ~Mike
The only way is to pay for the traffic. Is your forum ready to send traffic to? It already has to look busy and active before you pile on the traffic. They're not going to join a dead forum and create it for you.
All members of forum are advertising products. All do the same..so now it;s very competitive in forum.
get a few people to post. And maybe you could create a few accounts and post from them all waves start as a small ripple
First the forum has to be live, use cheap forum posting services if you are busy. Next it is SEO/ SMO and other free methods of traffic generation. Paid options are PPC.. Another effective method is to write popular controversial posts in your forum, this will attract traffic and also increase posts in your forum. This has worked in many forums and blogs.
Create something truly amazing and get it on Digg front page. Buy facebook advertising and target to the best demographic is another way.
There's really no way to get a flood of targeted visitors without putting in the legwork (which always takes time) You can buy traffic but they won't register for the forum (which I assume is your goal) I would outsource: 1)video marketing 2)article marketing 3)yahoo answers campaign 4)mass social bookmarking And all of the other means of driving traffic
