I recently launched << url snipped to comply with forum policy >> been rather successful in drawing in members by offering 2 promotions.
The first is offering 1 month free banner advertising to the first 25 members to reach a post count of 30.
The second offer is 6 months free text link advertising to the top 3 posters once our community hit 100 registered members.
So far in about 4 days we're up to 15 members.
Anyone having trouble gaining membesr might want to try a promotion method similar to this!

I have tried a promotion of giving away gmail invites back when they were at the point of people paying a good chunk of money for them and that brought in some members but most of the members that that brought in only posted so much to get there invites and then left and never came back. i have had more success with just having my site indexed well on google 
Usually, word of mouth is one of the most effective for my website << url snipped >>. I tried creating promotions but they wern't very successfull at drawing in members.

15 members in 4 days isn't good? I would say that was pretty good myself.
I've had my forum up for nearly a month and have a grand total of 8 members.
