    Hello,
    I recently bought a muscle car forum with many posts & members. The traffic is low though and no many posts/registrations per day.

    I'm trying to rank for "muscle cars" in google and I'm on good way. Overture is high, around 1800 searches per day. As I don't live in US, are they really so popular?

    Besides adsense and private sales, should i include insurance/car loan affiliate ads?

    Every thought/idea is welcome.

    Try to advertise on other car forums, post as a normal member..And then casually make a thread, and link them to something cool on your website..That brings traffic, and someone might end up signing up.

    What? I'm saying too get more traffic, try becoming members on other car forums, then later casually post your site, "Hey check this muscle car I found" then link your site..Its not spam since its car site, and you get traffic, and even potential members..
