I wrote an article regarding community and forum marketing. This article can be used for a wide array of sites, but it's targetted specifically to forums/communities. Digg it here: http://digg.com/software/How_to_get_traffic_on_your_new_community_forum
that is a pretty good article there is nothing I did not know before but it was a good refresh and set up of priorities
For me personally, I've already got the SEO and the technical side down. What I am missing is how to infuse my creation with that magic spark that makes it a community.
I can help out with this. Do you have any specific questions? I have successfuly created that "community" feel, and I have some theories on how to do it. But you could really help me out by pinpointing some questions that I will answer.
