Hi, i been thinking and thinking to have own webhosting forums, hope one day will become v7n or webhostingtalk. well, i not aim that high this moment, first step first. How can i promote a webhosting forums?? - no PPC please. too costly. - self/hire forum posting. - seo is way too slow in this "webhosting forum" keyword any ideas that i could get this on track in less than 2 mth of hard work?? I really want to do it, just i dont know how!! any advice is appreciated.
you have closed all way of marketting website by ur self say NO PPC NO SEO ! these are main ways to get traffic !
If you do what I say, then you will have a rocking forum in 2 months! Guaranteed! Make some thousand posts yourself or hire people, make thousand registrations as well Have a very easy contest, the best one would be a SEO contest or a designing contest, but since you are targetting webmasters, SEO is the better option. Give out some free stuff, from your forums, this will attract a lot of visitors. Also, give prizes to people who refer other members..like a domain name to a person who gets 100 memberships! I am sure, you will be treading on the path to success, if not reach it!
