I have 40 members registered and all of them are active after i installed my forum 1 week ago.I use vbulletin and my forum is sports related.Do you think this is a good start?
yeah it is a really good start. good work.. i have a warez forum.. gets average of 350 uniques daily.. stats : Threads: 776, Posts: 1,896, Members: 2,740, Active Members: 876
The most important you have missed to mention is :How much time have you been running your forum for ?
Sweet! That really is a good start. I’d like to start a forum, but at the moment I don’t have the time.
50 members in 8 days.At first,my purpose was to make them 50 for 2 weeks,but know my target is 100 members in 2 weeks.What i do ?There are some very popular bulgarian sports sites.Under their articles,readers can post comment.I post my url + some message.These sites has 300 000 uniques a day.Once i post my url in 5-6 articles,60 seconds after this i notice i have 40-50 guests.What do you think about that ?
http://soccer-union.com review it.It is in Bulgarian and you will not understand anything,but what do you think about the design ?
Lol i have 68 users so far.I only hope i will have 100 users in Monday.In Monday my forums becomes 2 weeks old.I installed it about 2 months ago but i was changing the templates,testing it,translating it ,so i started promoting in 3rd March and i think this should be its birthday (The national holiday of Bulgaria)
I hope i will make them 100 till Monday ,when my forum will be 2 week old.My first purpose was to have 50 members after 14 days..;}
Blog commenting can be useful, related blogs, real comments though, not "i love your blog" your targetting the right people who are interested in the niche that way. Directory submissions for less direct, but serp improvements.
