Advertising; 1. Search engine submissions. 2. Forum Directory. 3. Advertisement(s) on Signature area on popular forums.

I started by advertising (via my signature) on other forums I frequented... then when I got a good base of loyal members, they started advertising for me. Most of my "advertising" is done via "mutual agreements" with other websites and companies etc etc.. I have 56 members I think... but as we're already well over 10K posts and only been open since 1st November.. the AMOUNT of members doesn't bother me.. I still have a good percentage of the members joined who have not even bothered coming back. I have created flyers to give out at my local veterinary practices, and pet stores... haven't actually got off my ass and taken them out yet.. but when I do we'll see if more members come flooding in Because my forum is based on pets and their owners, I don't really need to have thousands of members, just our loyal ones will do me nicely ![]() Oh, we're on the search engines too. We tried to get an email read out on Paul O'Grady's show - as he's a lover of animals.. but I don't think it hit the read pile, I think it hit the round filing cabinet in the corner pile.. |

I may sound like a n00b for this, but how do you all submit your site to search engines? :$ |

When I started my board, I gave the link to it out to several people I knew via AIM. My board also merged with another board that was starting to fail, that helped to bring in members. I now have 18 users, and over 2,000 posts and the forum is fairly active, averaging 10-15 posts a day now. I don't think I've ever got a member from my signature here. :/
