Having other bloggers "adopt" your forum

[mpx3]

While looking up ways to promote my forum, I came across this suggestion. It said in exchange for "adopting" your forum to promote their blog within the forum. Has anyone successfully done this?

What do you mean by adopt?

sorry, I should've elaborated more. you find blogs that have a close amount of followers as your forum that do not have a forum attached to their blog and ask them if they will basically promote your forum as their own and in return you promote their blog on your forum.

It is closed to one called Guest Blogging right? But you mean adopt on a post or a adopt on comment. Furthermore, do you mean You will promote their site in your blog?
That's my questions.

I haven't heard of this before, maybe it's kind of an older thing that isn't done much today? Anyways I think it's a good idea if the blog + forum niche lines up well and the blog is active with engaged readers.
