Hi, I would like to know what all are the best way to market my online money discussion forum ?? Excluding advertisement programs like adwords and other. Please tell me.
-Talk about your forum in other niche forums -Post in other forums and use a signature of your forum.
To market a new forums your forum should have good posts there, it would be gotten by paid forum posters as well, you may also do link building as well.
For making your forum popular do these things.... Forum posting. Blog commenting. Article submission. Social bookmarking sites. Link wheel. Profile links. Directory submission. Digg votes. RSS feeds. Press release.
Best way to promote a forums is First Create quality content. For this either hire paid post posters that know your niche or ask your friends to contribute in the forum, if they know your niche. In short, you need content. Traffic will automatically come from search engines when you have content. You must have quality members to answer the questions of newbies.
Marketing a forum is not that difficult only yon need to share this forum info on different forums. If you have iphone related forum then you need to search for forum that are related to iphone and tell the discussion board about your forum. Surly they will join....
You can do forum posting, use social media optimization such as posting useful stuff on twitter and facebook.
The usual seo techniques work for forum marketing as well. You can do article marketing for better SERP.
the first step you should take is to populate your new forum because no one likes an empty forum and people needs active threads with some kind of discussion going on to take part in those. you might need to hire some virtual forum posters if you are really serious about your forum or else you have to wait and watch until Google start sending some hits to it
I would post in other forums, use a well designed signiture or obvious signiture so people know what the site is about.
Focus on the quality post/thread at the beginning stage, try to input as many quality post as you can, hire some quality poster to help to build a strong quality content in the forum. Then, youcan start implement some contests to attract people to join
Good a subject should be established first, and then the Forum is to enhance the popularity, the quality must be high post, so here are willing to help you stay down and then publicize Forum
