Well, aside from trying to generate posting activity on there, I've been trying to promote traffic, and seed the site. Though I may not yet have gained a ton of posting traffic, I've gotten many visitors still viewing everything. I've had 96 unique, new visitors to the forums in the past week. Two very useful tools for you to check out, if you haven't already, are Google's
Analytics and
Webmasters tools.
The analytics tool offers a wide array of data, allowing you to monitor every aspect of your visitors, including where they found you and what they're doing on your site, with all kinds of charts and graphs included, and you're also able to track all sorts of little things that you might like to. The webmaster thing basically allows you to optimize your site for Google. You can submit sitemaps to help the engine index the pages you want people to see, manage how the Google bots see your site, see which keywords are being used to find your site, and more. I've ended up having my forums appear in the top search results with this.
Both tools are free to use, full of all kinds of information, and are very useful to anyone running a website or forum.
And I'm about to add your button to my site now
🙂
