Re: A List Of Advertising/Promotion Forums

Infinite results and mad ads are shut down and adcrazy is dead. Shouldn't you remove them?
 
Re: A List Of Advertising/Promotion Forums

They have been removed... We can only remove them when people tell us as we can't keep going through the list every week to see if any more have closed.
 
Re: A List Of Advertising/Promotion Forums

An advertising forum only works if the forum itself can get activity. Since there are a lot of advertising forums out there already, getting people to join them is very competitive. So joining an advertising forum where there is no activity itself is pointless. Now once you join an advertising forum you have to remember some things:

(1) Do you think you're actually going to get members? No, not really because you have to remember that 99% of the people that join advertising forums are there to promote their own forum. It's an endless cycle. So what do you have? 10 forums advertising the same forums with the same members. Which brings me to my second point below.

(2) When joining an advertising forum, do you actually know any of the people on the forum? Probably not so you are most likely not going to get activity. A lot of these advertising forums promote that they will help you get the activity to your forum, but what they fail to say is that it takes a lot more than just posting your forum in an advertising thread -- a lot more. I'm finding that in a lot of forums it's not necessarily what the board looks like, but who you know. I've seen plenty of run-down boards have a lot more activity than forums that are nicely presented and have an immense amount of features and things to do.

(3) A forum advertisement is only good if people actually look at it. I've posted my forum on 3 advertising forums including this one and ironically the one that gets the least activity was the only one that got the most replies. So when posting a forum on an advertising forum, don't you think it would be fair for people to actually look at it? I think so, or else people wouldn't post their forums here.

In short, I hope I can find a way to get activity to my forum.

It takes more then placing just an ad thread. Those are usually overlooked. Always make posts on the forum you advertise on, and have an advertiser siggy in your signature, and people will be forced to look at that sig. This can help with activity issues.
 
Re: A List Of Advertising/Promotion Forums

If you stay active and are very active in the forum community and get on with many other people on the forum it does cause more successful results from that forum.

Also each advertising forum is different in terms of results... Some have alot of members but you don't get many hits from them and some are big and you get alot of hits from them. Some small forums you get alot of hits from but some small forums you get hardly any from.
 
Re: A List Of Advertising/Promotion Forums

We are looking for dedicated advertising forums.
 
Re: A List Of Advertising/Promotion Forums

I know, but as someone already said, advertising forums are filled primarily with people wanting to advertise their forums, not join. My forum has traffic and members who are there to view the content and will more likely view links and join other forums. Someone also said there's work to be done, you have to post and stuff, get to know people etc - well that can be done on any forum. Obviously I didn't think I'd qualify for your list but I joined most the forums listed here, even the ones that weren't advertising forums. So, I thought I'd put it up as I do have a links section what my members use regularly.
