    Link to the website - http://www.xtremecarforum.com

    I have just started a website (about 2 weeks ago), I just put the Word Press up two days and have been working on it since. The forums are Vbulletin, and the skin that I paid for turned out great very apealing IMO.

    [​IMG]


    Things I have done so far::
    - I use digg for some of the write ups I do on Word Press,
    - I have the site with Google Adwords
    - Exchanged links with about 5 PR2+ Auto websites
    - Adding it to directories all over

    As far as building a websites size over the internet and index'd pages that Is all I know and I've been doing so. So if you can help me with more ideas of buidling my websites size and Index around the internet please, I mean please give me some suggestions and new ideas!

    Great site, I would recommend removing the google ads untill you have reaching 100 members? or something like that, otherwise they know your deal. Forum = money ;)

    Do as you like, Anyways make the forum link be bigger or some where else, In my point i would like to see it direct not have to look for it :)

    sounds good, get some link exchanges and you will do just fine. Upload some videos to youtube and other video sites watermarked with your URL :)

    I might suggest you take a look at www.leedodd.com. His blogs have been invaluable in me growing clients forums. Read through some of the older post he made and you will get a lot of valuable information :)

    You should write some articles as well, submit them to article directories and have a link to your site. Make sure to research some keywords people are searching for. Otherwise it might be complete waste of time.

    Also set up a blog at blogger (or some other place where it's free) and post related stuff with backlink to your site. Submit your blog to loads of rss sites, that way your content will arive at other peoples websites as well.

    Giving you more traffic, which is always a nice thing.

    Now I was going to sell this but here it is anyways, here's a list of rss sites you can add your blog to. I know it's a lot of them but when you've done that once, you won't have to do it anymore and it'll surely help in terms of traffic.

    Thought the numbers would've been useful, you could see which numbers you used already for you blog etc.

    Hope you use it though, otherwise that would've been a waste of my time :D
