Promoting a Forum

ive recently started a forum for something like this www.teenstalkmoney.com it started on november 2nd and now has 149 members and im making loads of posts soon which will probably take it up to 500 posts. What i did was tell all my friends and submit to google, 65% of my traffic comes from google and i get 700 visitors a month.

 

LordDan nice site. I just signed up.

Are you doing any other advertising?

 

Well i have made over 100 posts on dp with my forum in my sig, i also have it in my msn name for friends to see and basically just forum posting.

Thank you for signing up and i hope you have a great time, if you have any questions just pm me.
I also hope your forum goes well.

 

Hi,

The best way to promote you forum to submit to social networking sites and also get some links. It helps to improve the availability so that user can come and join.

I went and checked out your forum and I would have stayed longer if it weren't for the dumb @!@! adds. It really was annoying to me maybe not to others.

 

I wrote a blog post about it sometime ago.

Maybe that might help you

Thanks.

 

THanks for your help Nick. Unfortunately it didn't really help. I'm looking for solutions rather than descriptions.

 

You should read the tips for forum owners.

 

glitto - thats some useful info. I think I covered most of it though. I had a quick look through your blog I like it a lot

 

Good luck.

 

Thanks

Good to know you covered most of the things mentioned there.

 

Good info, glitto. Too many forum owners forget (or ignore) the basics when promoting their sites.

 

Dont forget SEO The best forum is worthless without SEO
