You might be thinking huh? I could get really fast traffic through facebook? And the answer is yes, and you don't even have to pay a cent. No referral crap. No link crap. No scam.

Here is what you do.​

1. Register an account at- http://www.facebook.com. And try to change your name to that of your forum. Here's my example for NullChamber: You might be thinking huh? I could get really fast traffic through facebook? And the answer is yes, and you don't even have to pay a cent. No referral crap. No link crap. No scam.

Here is what I did to get 10 members looking at my board on the first day of opening. I already have 178 posts in the first 12 hours. And I just started the FaceBook promotion thing an hour and a half ago. I haven't seen anybody else use or do this trick before so this is my idea.🙂

After, let's say for example your theme is about, oh I don't know Anime. Maybe a bit too general, we'll go with Naruto.

Now here's the deal, you are making a Naruto themed forum and you don't know how to get some users because either ForumPromotion isn't working for you, or you just aren't having any luck. Remember when I said make a FaceBook account? Here is when it comes into play.

Step 1: Since your forum is about Naruto in this case. Go to your search and type in Naruto. See if any fan pages come up. As you can see there are a few fan pages with some thousands of fans. Go there and become a fan. On the fan wall, talk about how much you love Naruto and at the end transition in a smooth way linking to your forum and why people should join it several times a day every day. Doing this will create traffic, not guaranteed but people will definitely click the link.

Step 2:
Now. Go to the "Fans" box and click see all. This is where it could take awhile depending on how much time you have/want to spend. I spent about 30-45 minutes adding people on the list of the Naruto fans and attaching a message explaining to them how great my forum is and why they should join it. Immediately, people will add you as their friend, see the attached message and you will be able to make status updates that they will all see. You can now advertise with the number of friends you have on that account.

Maybe I just got lucky, but it has worked for me. So far, after 20-30 minutes of adding friends, I already have 68 people who have accepted and many more that are still pending.

Proof: http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=Narut ... ef=profile

To this moment I am still using this and seeing results, which is why I am sharing this the moment I discovered it. Hopefully people will find this post help, and useful; and as an end result have more traffic/activity on their forum.

Good luck!
:great:

Rep me.
 
Some texts my have repeated twice, I apologize my internet got cut off. Please let me know where the mistakes are so I can change them.
 
Okay but this is a legit way to keep getting visitors back without tricking them... I haven't done anything and now I have 90 friends. 🙂
 
wow nice man, really looks like a good method. Will be trying this 🙂
 
Surprisingly there have been over 5 members online the whole day.

Status Que: 18 Hours of Forum life.

Total Online Now: 6 Members, 1 Guest.
Total FaceBook Friends: 96

I would definitely encourage this method. 🙂

Only four? You should use my full method then. 😉

167 Friends, and got about 15-20 members from it.

A Good 90% of them are active too.
 
Doesn't do much if you have a promotion forum. 🙂 Nice tip though.

Right doesn't work for everyone forum, but most forums. 😛
Yeah. I'm making a movie type forum and might use your tip. 😀
 
Wow with movies possibilities are endless with the fan pages. Good luck, and le tme know how it worked out if you chose to use it.
 
I have just tested by doing what you said on 1 naruto fan page, just a test will probably do more soon

I see your point, some fan pages have like 200k fans, so you get a good, interested and broad audience.
 
To bad an RP war forum wouldn't benefit from this.

But good luck with this 🙂
 
Hmm.. I may have to give this a shot 🙂 I'll reply if or when I try and if it worked or not for me. Thanks again!
 
I gave this a shot last night...

Registered on Facebook > Filled out my profile > Started adding people...

Within 24hrs my forums had a minimum of 2 users and 8 guests per hour. ( my forums are only 2 days old )

So this seems to work, and the more time you spend on it you will get quite alot of traffic. Thanks for the advice 🙂
 
Are you using a personal Facebook page or one for a business/web site?

I made an account for my forum a few weeks ago and I'm thinking of giving this method a try.
