    As I understand you are concerned about traffic, so you can get more traffic by using adwords as well as ranking better in SERP. you may also try email marketing as well.

    Goodluck

    Do more SEOs, Get a High Ranking. Get more backlinks to draw more visitors. Get partner sites or web ring to get their traffic. Do more off line promotion. Do more local advertising. Do moreEmail spamming (oops i mean email marketing) and last but not least do add more content on your forums. :cool:

    Ranking well in serach engine is the best and cheapest way (Agreed) but PPC is also fast and easiest way to get traffic.

    I find PPC very expensive, I spent over a few hundered on it already. The thing with PPC is that a lot of times you overspent. Anyways, Some ppl do use it effectively, you can give it a try but for me I think i'm going to slowly cut back on it.

    OMG, I never seen that too many ads on your web page.
    It will make you lost traffic.

    Hi - I'm a total newbie to this site (first post), but have you thought of advertising in someone's ezine that is already sent to your target audience? You might do a search for ezine publications, and then do some serious research. If you like their publication you might advertise in it. Just a thought, good luck.

    Are you serious? Even if you got 100,000 visitors a day no one would hang around your forums since it is 95% ads! I think it may be one of the worst examples of ad placements that I have seen!

    If you are serious about developing the site as a community that people will want to visit you need to eliminate the ads (or at least make them LESS obvious) and add content.

    Posting this as the description for all of your forums will get you banned from from Adsense and possibly the other advertising programs that you use.

    Also, requiring visitors to register to view your forums isn't going to help your membership or SERP.

    Before you worry about "how to get lot of traffic to my forum?" you need to first develop a quality site that people will want to visit.

    Open this thread in the right section, that is SEO section.

    Anyway, build lots of back links.

    Your forum offers no reason to join. I am not even sure what it's about. Ill conceived and you should just trash it.

    Also why have you posted this in the "Adsense" category here?

    OMG just noticed " Sep 21st 2007, 9:08 pm"

    Great job at bringing up an incredibly old irrelevent post for no reason other than to spam and gain post count!

    Try article marketing and forum marketing. They can drive you free traffic.
