Is anyone using FB or Twitter to promote?

[Panik]

Again guys, trying to get people to join over Facebook for your forums is hard. Unless you have a GOOD niche that people actually care about. Keep in the mind the majority of people on Facebook are average joes, most dont even know what a forum is.

If your adverising a "promotion" forum (which I think most people on here are), its going to be hard via Facebook.

Now if you have a Halo forum, join halo groups. Join Halo fan pages, post on them. Look at all the people who post on the wall and add them. PERSONALLY talk to them and give them a pitch to join your froum. You need to be very pro-active getting people to JOIN your website over Facebook. Many will look, most wont join.

Thank you for those tips. I have never though of using such things as that. I might start doing this upon my forum opening.

Facebook will boost your total amount of guest up for a few days but I have never got an active member from it

I think that is how I got my mass amount of spammers.

Twitter usually gets me around 16 guests at a time.

I never had any success promoting sites on Facebook, no matter what I tried.

I can't say about Twitter, I don't have one.

Same here, off topic: I like your avatar.

Yea, my forum has a Facebook fanpage. I think 1 is enough.
