How can I increase traffic on forums?

[eronkid]

I'm doing a forum and my target is dedicated to my country. How can I increase my forum traffic?

 

[Midwest]

Where are you from, eronkid? And who's your main audience you're addressing to, through your forum?

 

[Midlandi]

Midwest is right, your niche will determine you strategy.

Yeah. He should first tell us the niche and then will be able to help him more.

Do press Release for your forum targeting your country.
Do social Bookmarking in all famous sites.
Use it as your signature in other forums with a short description.

Link Building and Forum Link

The best way is to go for link building and advertising your forum in seo forums.

Also submit your forum in local directories.

You can create a blog for it and then create a content that will make your
visitor/reader reads your content and at the same time participate on your
forum. I saw a forum that was growing and their blog is of good help

 

[eronkid]

I will try that also Cryxellis, thank you

If you have enough budget, you can try PPC. I have heard from other forum moderators that they have tried using PPC when their forums are just newly launched.

Or you can also try to conduct a contest in your forum. So that more members will be interested to join in your community.

i think article marketing may be the great way

Link trading, competitions, a hot topic, seam to be about the only real ways of increasing forum traffic. (oh and a lot of patience)

i think on your signature...

the links that you put on your signatures.. are traffic source of your site from the forums

Well your forum relates to your country best way of advertising is news paper
