So, my site is climbing the rankings for keywords relating to 'Coupon Forums' But nobody is registering and posting yet. Can someone give me their opinion on what I should do? I am definitely getting a few visitors every day at least. I think this site has a lot of potential. Personally, I don't like my descriptions of the Topics. Should I go as far as creating a few fake accounts and posting a few coupons to get things started? Here is my site: http://www.CouponsCoupons.me
You should start posting some articles on there and making some informative posts yourself on the forum so people have a reason to visit the site and register. Forums are only popular if people are posting regularly. You need some active members. You're going to have to promote your forum.
It only has 2 posts,, and only 1 person online... Make some posts yourself,, to fill it out a bit... And,, set users online time from 5 minutes up to 60 minutes,, you can always turn it back down if visitors pick up.. It takes a while for a forum to get going,, I am at it 7 months now, and only now am I starting to see some sort of improvement.
Definately make some posts yourself. A forum has to be active, otherwise no-one will join, or if they do, they won;t stick around. good luck!
This is a default phpbb theme, with zero content. Essentially your 'forum' is an empty phpbb installation with no customizations. There isn't much to review here. You even have the 'phpbb' logo still in place.
I am just advice to you that change your design another thing is good for your website.. Have a great job
