Anybody know a top secret way to promote a forum this top secret way shall be said here Anyways I am looking for a place to promote this forum, any way except Digg? I am just looking for some loyal members, a place to chat and have fun. The forum is in my signature.
Forum directories, post link to forum in your signature, among other meathods. Do you want to grow the site fast? If so PM me I can help you.
The same things for any other site apply. The hard part is adding cotent and making your forum "seem" active so people will sign up. I recommend posting under different names to start up as retarded as that sounds.
make some discussion about your forum and related topic on other forums. So that members visits your forum and make participation.
submitting it in forum directories, link exchange, blog posting and using signatures. i list down some ways that will be a big help in promoting your forum site.
Make sure your blog comments and forum posts are on topic and detailed. People can easily point out someone who just trying to advertise their blog when only posting comments like; "nice site" or "good points, i like your blog."
