Hello, I have this website (forum): http://www.AdNetworksForum.com The question I ask you is - where should I advertise it? What's the best way to advertise it? Thank you so much in advance.
Hmm, do you really thing that would work? Do people actually click on ads here? I mean I know they do, but not a big number of them.
If you have the money use google adwords for alittle while. Submit a press release and a few different types of articles related to your forum's niche. Submit to some quality web directories. Add your link to all your siggies at any other forum you lurk around at. Perhaps exchange links or even run a referral contest to get things going. Advertise on some classified ads sites. Heck it's free to put up a ad till it expire's. Eventually word of mouth starts to pick up and you will get some surge's in member's. There are plenty more way's to market your forum and if you do a search on the DP forum you will find them.
Thank you snakeair, your post was really helpful. At the moment, I have no money (I mean I do - I just don't have PayPal since it doesn't include my country in supported list), but soon enough, I will. I am ready to invest some money in marketing this forum. Thanks again.
I have also found an old article on promoting a forum but it has some very good information in there to read. Here is a link to the article if you are interested. http://www.seorefugee.com/seoblog/2007/02/08/10-tips-for-promoting-your-forum/ That's not my site or article if anyone was going to ask.
Hehe - snakair - I've already printed the article out and read it! But thank you very much indeed anyway
of course you can advertise it over the net..like doing seo things or you can spread it to your friends..
Wow. If he had asked where to buy a car, your answer would be "somewhere that sells cars" No kidding, Einstein. Advertising and SEO bring traffic? My god, the sky is sometimes blue OP - with something like this, you have to hustle to make it happen. If you don't have money for promotion, get a job and make the initial investment. If you're offering up $1000 in cash prizes (about a month's take home pay on minimum wage) you are going to get a ton of interest, and the site will flourish.
Advertise it on other popular forums like Sitepoint, Sseochat, Webproworld Blogging communities Social networks
This is a good spot and looks like your getting started on it. You can also do other forums. Try giving articles are something of that nature out for free. Cheers
