    It depends, what is you forum about? What keywords are you targeting? What techniques are you using?

    A few details will help out :)

    You may have done on page optimization, but remember that off page optimization is also very important. Keep building those quality links. Google keep updating the backlinks from different sites, and in the process drops some. So, it keeps everyone on their toes to keep building the backlinks.

    1. What your forum is all about?

    2. Where are you promoting it?

    3. From where you are getting traffic (currently)?

    4. Have you set your Title, Meta Tags, and other things correctly?

    It depends on your niche! It would be better if you will share on what kind of niche is your forum. All I can suggest, is to start your promotion into other forums! Forums that are also related to your forum niche!

    You have to start good discussions yourself on the forum and also write interesting and useful articles just like you would do on a blog. That's the only good and long lasting way to get people to register.

    Everyone isn't good at SEO nor are they good at creating "sticky" content. There are millions and millions of websites, and billiions of pages. Who has time to read them all? And even if your site/plan/content is better than your competitors you still have to get the eyeballs in front of it, then have something worth returning too.
