Hi all, I was wondering which is the best way to promote a forum? As I need way more members - it only has 6 at the minute, and only a couple of them post on my forum.

I've heard signature advertising is good, but for me it doesn't work.
Anyone got any ideas? :D

Well, advertising in your sig can't hurt either.

Unless you have some ugly sig that would repel any potential clickers of the sig. Then it would hurt. :P

hmm, I know signature advertising is best by far, and has a lot of effect, but I've tried this on most forums I've registered to now, and it hasn't been succesful, which is why I need to know a different way of promotion.

To name a few:

  • Advertising on forums.
  • Having unique content
  • Offering many services/stuff that is worth people's time.
Basically stuff like that. :yes: :phrank:

Manually submit your forums to many search engines, thats where you want the traffic coming from, could take a month for a few to spider you, but they will once submitted.
