| | My forums still lack the number of active members that would be desirable. I've advertised my site in all my forum sigs, but I need more.
I need suggestions for where to advertise, or how to advertise, and get more traffic and more members. Anyone have any ideas? Besides tell your friends to tell their friends to tell their friends..? becuase that hasn't been working lately.
thanks! |

Well the only thing I can tell you is to join other sites that are similar in topic to yours and try to set up an affiliate system with them. They have a banner on their site for you and you have a banner on your site for them. The more links you have on other sites the more visitors you get and the higher in google rankings and other search engines you are.

How To Attract Traffic To (new & Empty) Software Forums

Hey guys, what's the best way to get more traffic at my new software forums? They are pretty
empty as they have just been added (Aug 17th, 2006) to my already established software download
site. The idea is that the software forums can be where you discuss the programs that you
download... Each program in the download site has a link to its category in the forums. Since empty
forums are hidden, it can be a bit confusing, but everything is integrated with the actual software
we have listed. Once there are a few thousand posts in our forums, we have plans for displ...

I can never get enough (any, hehe) members for my forums, I'm wondering why. My forums are
