    I'd like around 1 million visitors monthly too! :)

    Er, advice?

    1. Hard work.
    2. SEO

    Repeat steps 1 & 2 until you've reached your goal.

    You really should have talked to someone before you launched that. If you can't afford a designer there is frankly no way on gods green earth that you can afford the servers required to deal with a million visitors a month.

    Just sayin, you really need to go back to the drawing board on that one and totally rethink things.

    Aside from it running free stuff etc., you never, ever launch a forum with a boatload of categories that are effectively empty.

    hope that helps a little,
    Nigel

    Promoting forum is not easy work at all. your forum is about makingmoney which has a high competition. Don't be frustrated, you still have chance to promote your forum. I can recommend to do the followings:
    1.Industry is the precondition to reach your goal.
    2.Analyze the similar site and figure out the methods which they are following
    3.Try to make your forum different from others
    3.Try to figure out what the visitors want and
    5.At last, you need both on page and off page optimization.

    If you want to promote your forums then you should use social media website which are the best to get more traffic for your forums. just join some groups which have more and more members in Facebook and promote your forum in these groups. I hope you will get good traffic from this method.

    You need SEO, not only to rank and stay on top but to optimize keywords, social media, backlinks, reciprocal links and even URL optimization. Lots of work to be done but if done correctly, you should be where you would like to be.

    Is possible try hard to promote on other internet marketing forum as well. It would be great if you have changes to exchange link with those related content forum .

    I believe you can actually find lot of make money online forum as well, get some traffic from there by placing some ads , guest posting and blog comment posting.

    Try to use linkedin social media to search for those related interest group and suggest them to come your forum to learn more information.
