    If I was looking for travel websites, the last thing I would want to look at is a forum. I would want to see prices, comparisons and photos. I doubt many people would be interested in a travel forum.

    Hello indyguidedotinfo.

    When I look at your forum and see how you advertised... I wonder if Stumble Upon is the right market for what you are seeking.

    Most people there must have been searching for an advertised deal. I would suggest that you need to really think deep about who you are marketing too.

    Since you are interested in this type of forum... I think it would be best to start here.

    • Your age
    • Your gender
    • Your location
    • Your current sallary/wage
    • What you are interested in

    Once you discover these about yourself... thank take into consideration who else would be interested in this.

    If you know of others that are interested in this type of forum... do the same questions...

    After these questions are done... than you have a better idea of your market.

    You can than look here for sites to purchase advertising banners or text links that fit your researched statistics.

    From the research, you will also develop key words for your forum. You can then go into different search engines and type these keywords in. The first 10 sites of each search will give you another idea of advertising.

    I hope this information helps a little.

    People follow stumble links and links of that kind to read the stuff you post, and they usually leave once they read what they came to read if they read it at all.

    travel forums are usually only good for timeshare communities if you ask me.
