Re: Where to advertise?

I think the standard answer is google (the search engine, not adwords). Just keep writing good posts / articles that will serve as link bait.

Re: Where to advertise?

You should create a sitemap (there is a mybb plugin for this) and submit it to google.com/webmaster, yahoo site explorer and live.com's webmaster tools.

I haven't had much luck with banner adds personally, but you may try buysellads.com - that's a good place to purchase ads.

Re: Where to advertise?

I think forums are a perfect way to get moral support and get open to the problems that people are thinking about.

To promote it, do some banner advertising on other forums, participate in them and let the members know about your forum putting links in your signature. Participating in Social bookmarking and networking sites is also a good way to get visitors. Other than this, there are many more ways that you can find going thru the forum.

yes it's very important to gain followers on social networking sites, encourage them to join your forums, also try to give special prizes for someone who can refer your forums to other people as well, this is a good method to increase the people in your community, by the way do follow forums attracts more visitors.

Alright, thanks for that. I'll give that a try.
