Re: best way to promote forum

i am looking for a free way to promote my new forum and attract new members. I dont know anything about seo so my website usually doesnt come up on google or msn and if it does it is not first for example type in billspctips.tk and daniweb.com will come up before my site.
here is a link to my forum i have 3 members beside my accounts and my brothers account and they do not regulary post.
<< snip >>

You can join related forum and post your signature posts there where your forum link is your sig..

Promote your forum by submitting your forum to directories...

Re: best way to promote forum

To me, it is quite simple.

If you have a forum whereas nobody cares to join it; is probably not worth joining. Pursuing in its evolution into being just another forum that nobody cares to join, you'll need to solicit for meaningless new members continually.

Happy web site promotion!

Make some link building/exchange , publish articles, work on your meta tags to fit your content - in short - SEO.

Re: best way to promote forum

Yes I do agree with that comment. I forgot or something I overlooked to mention, the correct niche is most important key factor for SEO and traffic too. However I have seen lots of SEO doing such irrelevant links in websites of different niche.
I only wonder how could that effect otherwise PR?

Re: best way to promote forum

The relevancy of a link doesn't affect PR. But it does have a huge affect on the search rankings.

Re: best way to promote forum

The best way to forum is to participate in the related forum and promote that you have new site .

It seems all right, I think this is a very good way.

Re: best way to promote forum

You have to be careful when doing that though. It's frowned upon in many forums for being spam. Since you'd be posting in other forums related to what your site is about, the last thing you want to do is get a bad reputation in your industry.

Definitely post in other forums on similar topics and link to your forum in your signature. By creating good, helpful posts, you'll gain a positive reputation among other communities in the industry, and your name and your site will become associated with quality information.
