I've had the domain creditcare.com for a few years. Some one made an offer for it but now I'm thinking I can do better on my own. I set up forums and would like to build traffic and then get advertising $$. Please look at the site and post any ideas to help me get it off the ground. Thanks muchly!
First comment would be to get rid of the Welcome to phpBB post in your first forum. Also, how do you plan to get people to go there? If all there is is a forum, especially when basically noone is there, people won't stay around. Often a forum is added later, after the site has a certain number of unique visitors per day. (Some say 250, some 500, etc.)
I would add a few different forums and start posting. Some admins create other users. Is this moral? Depends - but usually starting up, the answer is yes. It helps to build answers / questions. I would also create a home page that has more information in it. For example, don't show the empty forum with one post from six years ago.
