You haven't started your forum yet, so there's no way you can get any kind of traffic now if the forum doesn't exist. Or do you have a Web page and you want traffic to your site first?

Post in related forums with good content, linking to your own site in your forum signature. Remember not to spam the other forums :) That will just make you look bad. However, posting good info will get you a good name and make you well respected in your industry.

I agree with all above about participating in related forums.

It is also a good idea to use social bookmarking eg. digg, stumbleupon

Including a link to your forum in your post would be helpful, we can review your site and give some helpful advice. Related to that, adding a link to your signature will help get traffic to your site.

The best way would be to find some forums that are related to whatever it is your site is about. Asking them to review your site generally gets the word out.

One of the things i do for my social site is to post polls on relevant issues of the day and then advertise the polls with a link back to my poll. It works really well right now in the election season.

You must also build links on it as what you did in your normal site.

As what SEO's always says link build, link bait and perseverance, you will need those three.

you need to advertise your website on google or add your website to search engine but make it SEO friendly first.

It is also helpful to post good content in your forum where the search engine crawlers can find it and index it for organic search engine traffic.
