Hey guys, I just started an AdSense Forum here: http://forums.adsense-fire.com I need some early joiners to start pumping out posts and what-not. Do you have advice for how I should go about doing this, exactly? Thank You, Scott
You need a faster server first. This forum loads slow for me now, and it doesn't even have regular users yet.
You definatly need to fill it with content yourself first. Try to create as many topics as you can every day. You can also create a few users yourself and talk to yourself for a while. Gives the impression that there is at least some activity.
Or you can write articles for the subject of your forum and post some of them on your own forum and post some with the links on the article repositories.
If you want me to be honest, I was 12. And I spammed other forums relating to mine. Yes it is blackhat but I did not even know what SEO was then. I reached 500 members, it was an invision Free Board (IFB). I didnt know how great this was and dumped it (deleted it). Lol, good luck anyway. word of mouth is the best option if your forum has something unique to offer. Do not ppc.
I'd recommend post exchange, find some people in this forum to trade posts with you. I'll PM you about an exchange. I am not sure if you'd do well with posting services. I tried one and they did perform but the posts didn't seem too natural.
