DeuceAce.com Poker Forum - Good promotion techniques?

Hey everyone

Some people might remember my sites name from last weeks show, it was one of the forums reviewed

One of the areas mentioned was promotion for my forum and I am racking my brain to come up with some good ideas, I was hoping some people here with a fresh outlook on things could help with a few ideas

Anyone have any ideas on how I could promote the site to get new members and visitors and how to get more activity from the current members?

I think poker is a harder forte when it comes to this, I normally don't have any problems coming up with promotion techniques on my other sites but this is such a small niche and audience.

Thanks for any help!

I had a whole post typed up on freeroll sponsorship - then i went and looked and realised you were already doing that

Considering you have over 100 people online - exactly how much better did you want it to be? Thats pretty darn good for a poker forum.

Only thing i can think is try to get Banner xchanges with other poker sites or forums.. so when they go to that forum or site.. they will see your sites banner there

Host a poker tournament. Have huge prizes. Make it take a long time to get to the end and have the final game in a real casino. Just an idea. Lot's of people would end up entering the tourny and you would get a lot of sign ups from it.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I do like the idea of the tournament but one thing is that the prize would have to be very big to get people to play in stages and I don't think a real casino final would work, a lot of the members are split in Europe, America, China etc. so that could be a toughie

I would try some free link exchanges and postings on other poker/gambling forums. Some type of prize or incentive could also draw more traffic...maybe schedule the tournament as mentioned above but with different brackets based on geographic location?

I don't have a blog no but to be honest, blogging isn't my kind of thing.

I have a personal blog but I wouldn't want to do it for any of my site subjects really, I'm not a good enough writer.

I don't do this myself, but almost every other gambling/poker forum don't let you have links to any other gambling sites so I couldn't do that.

I don't think there would be enough people for a offline/live tournament to be honest but I am already organising online tournaments and freerolls for members

I would really like if anyone has ideas for any type of competitions or contests that would help bring quality members, I don't think a large posting competition or referral competition would work for this type of site and I can't think of many others.

Thanks everyone

Draft up some decent articles for new players to read, review other sites/forums and post it publicly, other sites will link to you if you have written a review about their site which is good. Setup the arcade and have just gambling games onit I would personally try to make the site seem fun, for non gamblers like myself I find the whole poker scene to be too tense and money orientated.

Thats all I can come up with at the moment.
