hi DP, i own iphonetalk.info which is an iphone forum but other iphone forums are more successful. i just dont get it, i have the nicest iphone forum design and NO advertisements on the page but still no regulars. other websites have already gathered a few hundred members and i do not want to fall behind. i tried contests, paid posting, and am currently in the process of purchasing 400 posts. is there some secret the other forum owners know that i dont? i am also on the first page for the keyword 'iphone forum' in google.
You really need lots more posts. And get more backlinks. Submit it to directories, do a few link exchanges, write articles and submit them to article directories,...
Would look alot better if you had way less categories that look like ghost towns. Have a few good ones and expand as needed. I should do the same I think.
There are just a few things: -the .info domain -too many categ's -buy a vbulletin script -get your friends to post I love the logo. As ningashoes said: "that might become obsolete?"
i am pretty sure they will come out with more iphones just like they did with the ipod...so people back in the days who started ipod forums where probably asked the same questions ;] and there is absolutely NO good domain left for iphones...the best one i could find is the one i am using. but there are many more out there and .infos are becoming quite popular now
oh, and i cant afford vbulletin at this moment since i am putting my money into getting the siteup on its feet and pouring my money into other projects but is there a way i can transfer when i purchase vbulletin?
