    Hi, im the co-owner of easyforumz.com and i need some help,
    My site hosts free forums, but im only getting around 1 hit a month from search engines.

    I have SEO keywords and descriptions, and have fitted the first page content into the keywords.

    Thank you for your help, Cloud

    No wonder you are getting just a little of traffic for the keyword easy forum hosting, that keyword performs roughly 10-50 queries a month.

    You might want to reconsider your targeting keywords, here are some few good keywords you can target for your forum
    - free forum hosting
    - free hosting
    - free web hosting
    - free domain hosting

    Here is an article on how to find keyword that works for you.

    Get an account at wordtracker and you can see how competitive the keyword search terms are. Go for some that are less used but will still drive traffic. When you build up backlinks and PR etc.. you can compete for some of the better higher yielding terms.

    You can also try to promote it via social book markings and continue building links.

    "im peridcted a PR4 for this update" you can forget about.
    1st: apply a little SEO (that not means only to full your META`s with keys)
    2nd: target your BL for the key`s "easy forum hosting", not your site name
    3rd: backlinks and backlinks and backlinks !

    Content, backlinks, and keywords are key if you want to rank well. Use DP's BST forum and search for some Link Sale threads that suit your needs.
