Promote Your New Forum - Five Great Tips
Search for some forums that are allowing you to promote your newly created forum.
I really like these types of forums because they offer some free services to their active members like: Posting Packages, Forum Reviews, Banner Rotation, Text Ads and many more.
From these forums you can get some traffic If the members like your forum and probably you can get some new members on your forum too.
2.
Use the power of the social media websites.
Let's take for example, Facebook, I recommend you to create an account on Facebook and after that try to create a fan page or a group to your forum and start some interesting discussion, and then invite your friends to join your fan page or group, also try to convince them to give you some comments.
3.
Create an account on Twitter and use it to link to your forum discussions.
The perfect tool for this job is Twitterfeed, which automatically posts everything that is in your RSS feed to your Twitter profile.
4.
Search for high PageRank forums or blogs related to your niche and start posting relevant thing on them ( one important thing, don't forget to put your forum link in the signature) 5.
Submit your forum to the major search engines, like Google, Yahoo and MSN, also you can submit to some high PageRank free search engine friendly directories.
Note: Make your forum known on the internet, update it almost daily with unique content or else...
who knows.
