Hello everyone. This is my very first post here on Digital Point. I've gotten so much information by reading the posts here, and I'm hoping you all can give me some suggestions. First of all, does anyone have any recommendations for purchasing targeted domain traffic? I don't want a traffic exchange, I'm looking more for like expired domain traffic (preferably targeted). Does they at all? Do they work if your site is something that is general enough (my target audience is women!! LOL.. how is that for broad). If I wanted to narrow it down further.. I'd say overweight women. I monetize my site with both Adsense (though not on the sign-up page) and affiliate programs. And, my second question is how many posts would you put up on a brand new message board to get people to start posting? No one wants to be the first, so I know I have to seed it. The biggest thing about my site is that I want it to HELP people and be true and honest. I feel like seeding my message board is "fake".. but I also know it needs to be done. UGH.. decisions. Any ideas? My main site is: http://www.LoveYourBodyFirst.com and it starts as an e-mail campaign that dumps them into a back-end community. You can get directly to the message board at the bottom of the sign-in page. Thanks. Kat
make a contest for your forum. Give the 10 people who post the most and refer the most users something. this can be anything from $$ to textlinks on your sites .. this works great. (look at earnersforum that exploded in a very short time)
