How to get members for a new forum? forum owners help needed..!

Hi
How did you get new members for your forums…? my forum has only spaming members. any Ideas?;):wink:

First try to have some competitions on your website or sponsor some competition or else ask someone in other forums or site to sponsor a competition for you that that run for a month.

Secondly, try posting thread/discussion that will catch the attention.

Continue on link building, and promoting your forum.

Make your forum look active if it’s not.

Get or pay people to post.

Keep posting yourself to help it alone.

Get backlinks to it first before posting on the forum. Afterall it’s no point in getting people posting if there is no backlinks or it’s not index into Google as them posters would finish and your forum will look dead again as real people that signup via coming from the search engines or your advertisments will not come if you do not have any advertising done yet or SEO.

What you are telling me, you are going to fail at your forum straight away if you have many spamming members. I have very little to none as I have rules and software in place to help prevent spam from happening in the first place and then I have moderators also to watch spam.

Try to improve your tactics to help prevent spam as once you get loads of members, the amount of work involved fighting spam will be out of control and you’ll find you can’t keep up. You’ll also find some people that are not spamming will start spamming just because everyone else is.

Do create more exposure to your forums by doing some online press releases, article submission and so on. Automatically you ll get more visitors.

i suggest you make a good content about your website and then submitting to high page rank press release & articles. Definitely you can get more visitors, high quality backlinks with your keyword. that will help you .

I thin interesting forum can easily get new members to participate
