Make sure your forum is original. As long as your members have things to do and post about, and items at your forum can only be found at your forum, there is a much greater chance that your forum will become increasingly active. If your members have things to do, there’s a greater chance of them returning and maybe bringing a few of their friends along with them. You also have to be prepared to spend a lot of time at your forum. You can't show up at your forum everyday for only 30 min expecting it to become active. You should spend a lot of time with your members and create a nice community feel to it. As well with all that, you should post at other forums and place links to your site wherever the rules permit it. As long as people constantly hear about your forum they will start to become more aware of it and maybe one day decide to click that link in your sig and check out your site. Good luck with your forum!

Advertise in your sig on sites with lots of visitors, submit to search engines, tell your friends, make current members feel welcome so that they'll want to tell their friends. |

I agree. To spread the word of your board advertising is the best step to take since you want to actually spread the word and tell people about it. This is a little article I created for one of my boards on how to gain members for your board by advertising. Hopefully it will give you some general advertising ideas.Advertising is a beneficial way to retrieve members. There is many ways to advertise and spread the word of your board. After organizing your board, and laying down the board data in a complex way or maybe even a simple way can keep your board organized and the way you want it to be. Here is some various ways to advertising your board.
