Getting 100 Quality Posters Within One Month!

[Moustafa]

Hello,

I would like to know what would you do to bring 100s of quality posters to join your forum, contribute in it and be active making at least 5 posts+ per member daily.

I am not with the idea of exchanging posts with other owners because someone can't join 100s of forums, post in them all just to get some activity for a while that leaves soon!

Your ideas are welcome.

Firstly, make your site look good.
Then, open your wallet, pay for advertising.

I would advertise non-stop. Hey, it seems some of your forum icons aren't transparent. You may want to fix that, it gives a bad impression of your forum. 😉

Not be lazy 🙂

The first thing I would do is reduce the number of forums you have, until your forum becomes much more active. Having forums with zero posts makes your forum look inactive and very unappealing, to visitors deciding whether or not they will join and post.

Where to advertise?
Can you guide me to list of best websites to advertise at?
Which icons in my forum that aren't transparent?

I Agree with you Fergal but this is right if the forum has already good number of visitors!
Currently, i see no more than 10 visitors per day!!
Any hint?

Keep in mind that visitors are not the same as actual members. So I would suggest doing as Fergal said: Either cut down on the amount of sections you have, or else turn some sections into subforums or something. I know that's a huge turn off for me when I look at a new forum is when I see more sections than it needs because there aren't enough members to use those sections just yet. So I think even turning some sections into subforums if you can could really make all the difference as far as the forum looking more organized.

Nobody can tell you what is going to work and what won't work. You have to get out there and try it out for yourself. :great:
