Once again I'm going to be marketing my site http://cheatingnetwork.net and was wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions? Currently I go by word of mouth, sig, and affiliation... anything else I can personally do? Or any suggestion for my site to look more appealing? Thanks!
Pay for Posts, Hold Contests, and I would recommend a better banner/logo, but thats just me. I just made a topic like this you may find some useful information there: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=871204
I was already on top of the logo =] http://cheatingnetwork.net/forums/showthread.php?p=85302#post85302 I have a good amount of posts per day so paying for posts doesn't seem like a great idea. I hold contests frequently as well.
Last thing I could think of is try adding something unique to your site, points that can buy services or trade for money, or a game that is played within the forum. Something that will make people say...hmm why didnt I think of that. Revenue sharing? Viral Marketing? write articles and list your forum as the reference link? Finally, join forums that are similar to your topic and make good quality posts with a link in your sig. Thats everything I have learned from reading on forum marketing techniques, or most of it. Good Luck.
Thanks My site is all unique content. Theres one site thats like mine but is VERY small, the members there were stolen from my site anyways so..
Post exchanges can achieve that. Get a board that's active through doing post exchanges and you'll find that members are more likely to register and participate in an active forum than an inactive one. Post exchanging isn't just about increasing the number of posts you have. There's much more to it than that.
