Yahoo! Answers

Alright, Yahoo! Answers is a popular website, so it's pretty hard to advertise without getting caught. What you do is use your personal Yahoo! email address and ask a question pertaining to your forum. Then, about 3 hours later, create some stupid email like yourwebsite-.@yahoo/ymail/rocketmail.com and go to Y!A and answer the question, and post a answer, with a link to a thread as your source.

Not a bad idea, I must say. This will only work longterm though.

Yeah, every now and then create a question like that, and do the same thing, but don't forget to ask some actual person questions in between.

This doesn't really work well to be honest.

I answer questions relating to the two bands, and cite my sites ( 😱 ) as sources.
Get a good amount of traffic as well tbh.

hahahah this is wrong though, but good idea, will work on this

Great idea. But in this order, reply to questions asked in the niche of your forum.

For example, a guy asks a computer questions. I have a computer website, I can answer it, provide a link to my forums, and say if you need help again check it out.

Great idea. Its idiot proof!

I agree that it is more effective to just find questions from other users related to your niche, and answer with helpful information with your site as the source. You'll get actual visitors who are interested in the content of your site that way.
