Takes time along with effort, promotion, patience, seo, and marketing. It's one of the more difficult websites to make a success imho but one of the most rewarding too.
Why worry if Postingpays is there with best forum promotion services? I am not trying to advertise but I think there are more than 20 Forums which are 100% promoted by Us, and are having good members with them. You need to have good content in your forums to attract some fun...!!
How old is your forum and how many posts does it get a day? Since about april 09..16 posts per day. How many registrations daily? 0.25
Forums sure need constant work to get off the ground. Mainly because the competition is so high. There is no secret for success really; its just consistent marketing and adding content.
It all depends. Some days the only activity is the RSS Bot pulling computer news stories and some days there's a lot of activity.
i just start build forum in for my country population it seem very few people registering..but most of them just make promotion and not sharing any knowledge...
My Main forum is about 16 months old and gets roughly 270 posts and 8 new user sign up a day. My Newer Forum gets 2 posts and 2 users per day. I do most of the posting...but It will get there eventually. It takes a lot of promoting on other sites to really get the user base and of course, content is very important!
Yeah yeah show off My forum you can say is a true niche with 78 posts a day and maybe 8 to 12 new members a month. We have a small membership but we are very happy.
Most days we have around 1,000 posts. Not sure of new members I would say about 4 or 5 per week. Closing in on 5,000 members and 1.5 million posts in total. About 5 years old for the site.
