    Locate other forums that are similar but not exactly like yours. Then register yourself there and put your forumlink in your signature and start to post. I post in some weather forums to promote my Global Warming forum.

    Also, you need to keep your forum active BEFORE you can get any active members in your forum. Ask some other forum-owners if you could exchange forumposts with them daily or create a few users and start talking to yourself.

    Remember that it will take A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT to get a forum active if your not gonna buy some links or adwords. But you need to keep it active all the time or your daily visitors will drop drastically.

    Using softwares is not good at all. I get my websites listed in google myself in less than 48 hours without any software. Its no that hard to get listed. Getting higher rankings for your keywords and getting PR above 5, that is what the tough part is.

    Khalid Bhai, Why do you want to have site like this ? if you want to earn money than a forum won't help you. Building a forum is one of the most difficult and time consuming task and I think people who know what are they doing can only do it well. I think if you are passionate about your forum and can offer something good than go ahead...

    It depends on what kind of forum you'd like to promote? If you want to promote a forum like DP, do as latehorn said, go in forums relating about your forum project but not too similar, insert you forum link in your signature. Do some intelligent posts and people will follow you actually it works that way... Depends how you are with others after all...

    I would say setup forums and find moderators to manage them. But, the question is: how will ppl get motivated to be a moderator when the site is still small and starting?
