I use a combination of the following: 1. Social networks such as Facebook, Digg, Myspace, and Twitter. 2. Being active at other forums and placing a link in my signature. 3. Inviting friends over from other forums I am active at. Although it doesn't seem to have the result I was hoping for and my forum still remains fairly inactive.

At the beginning, the important thing is to make others know our sites. Exchange link with other websites, put the link into the posts, both are useful for promoting. Of course , paid promotion is a better method. Besides, I think attractive content is important,too.
Digg is only good for news and current events. The best place to network is forums of your niche, and build a list.
