Hey everyone,

Although I am happy that the forums I write in ARE bringing in traffic...It's seems that this is the only or at least 70% of the traffic coming from my site. I am sad because it seems to me that these other forums are bringing in the fresh traffic, while I am left scraping up there left over business.

What can I do to bring in my own traffic?

Can you share your ideas

Are you asking specifically about the forum that's on the site in your link?

I think participating in other forums can be a good way to bring traffic and it seems like you've already started with that.

The main thing will probably be to get more links pointing to your site. The key is to find quality links over a quantity of links. Try building relationships with the people you encounter on forums. Post a lot and get to know the people. You already know they like posting on forums and if you can build a friendship with them there's a greate chance they'll check out your forum.

Also practice seo for the site in general. There's lots of advice on how to do that here and in other forums and blogs.

You could also advertise in a variety of ways.

Yes well I just don't like the fact that if I stop posting on the related forums for a week or so then my traffic drops significantly.

With all marketing you have to keep at it. That's how it works. You can also work on the forum itself to make sure when people find it they keep coming back. In the end the key is to build a good forum with a good membership.

Have you advertised for contributors or forum moderators on your site? Your top posters may be a great pool for additional content and help with the forums.

SEO is key for articles though...ask them to submit articles on certain topics.

I haven't ask for moderators yet as the forum is still quite small. But I just started searching blog writers and offering ad space for articles! I thought that might be a good way to get content and givesomething back at the same time.
