    I think first you need to get good real people in your forum.. then you need to contact some of the advertiser to get pay for advertising ....

    Usually forums are a difficult beast to optimize for Search Engines. Unlike other websites, you as the forum webmaster will face problems like lack of unique and useful content, inability to optimize keywords for certain pages, duplicate content problems and so on.

    Forum optimization is much similar to website optimization with some advantages. As you know SEO mostly depend on on-site and off-site strategies. So make more and more posts in your forum and get backlinks for each post as much as you can.

    mostly people join the forum for discussion and advertising or link building

    you need to gain your site PR and link juice and remember that you forum must be dofollow

    get top ranked related to your keywords that people can easy find you

    First, get nice template.
    Second, hire or working as partnership with someone that can be good moderator and working with you to build up that forum.

    Content is the main ingredient for uplift of forums. Few members should be active in posting quality content in forums . Then automatically forum will be optimized for long run. Make sure also that forum is not feed up with large number of Spam posts.

    I think you 1st need to hv max. number of members on your forum, and you should promote your forum as much as u cn like by doing bookmarking of it and u cn advertise it also................
    Next thing u need to do is to update your forum regularly and should hv good nd quality number of posts on your forum....................
    :)
