Advertising Gaming forums besides on other forums

[Demon_skeith]

So I've been looking for other gaming forums to advertise my gaming forum on, but it's been pretty difficult. Any good site I find has rules against it and the others I do find aren't worth the time really.


Anyone know of some good websites or blogs to look into advertising gaming forums on?

You could simply look past only promoting on forums and try some more effective marketing techniques that target your niche directly?

SEO buddy. Work on that. Promotion on forums and blogs are not the best way to get the traffic and members.

I'm afraid 60% of my content comes from news sites, so it's not exactly good for SEO.

I suggest that you do some research into what marketing is before even opening a website mate.

Sue me for wanting clarification.

I wasn't trying to be rude, it was a serious suggestion. You need to know how to market something to get it known.

For my forum of 968 members and 66,909 posts I guess my ignorance of marketing something isn't to shabby. Specially since I took over a forum with zero knowledge of anything forums.


Anyways, where can I learn some smart ways to market gaming forums or something in general?

You're better off focusing purely on SEO.
