I've been racking my brain thinking of how I could generate traffic to a new IM server forum of mine. For a corvette forum of mine, I used Craigslist forever and it worked. I am at a loss on this one. Check my signature for the link, any ideas please! I'm on a zero budget, so what ever services you would suggest would need to be free. Thanks!
Yeah, it took me about 6 months to a year for my other forum to take off. With the corvette forum I was able to advertise to people looking for car parts on specific years of the corvette, which meant that they would need somewhere to talk to others dealing with the same problem. With my IM server forum, I don't have a tie like that to another product, at least not one that I have thought of yet.
this is a very niche forum which shared about LYNC server. Be patient to build your traffic. Not to forget to consistantly do more publicity to your forum. You can gain your traffic one day.
I haven't try the link exchange / post exchange before. I'll look into it this week. Thanks for the idea linklink12
