How do you get people to come to your site?

[Gutspiller]

I see these forums of 10,000+ members and find out some haven't been out on the Net that long. I was wondering how some of these sites do it. How do you get your registered members so high? I have never liked the idea of restricted access to a forum so tight that they can't even view messages without registering. Just curious on how some of your sites get so big.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Merging means I don't own it all though, which isn't exactly what I am looking for. As for uniquness how does over 100 news postings a day sound? People still need to know your site exists before they even know you offer something unique though.

In our own experience, word of mouth is the best promotion We have a forum with around 400-500 posts a day. It's not big compared to a lot of vB's out there, but it's quite busy. Try to be original, think as a visitor not as an admin. Think what would you like to see if you were a visitor.

Nice site. Like I said, you gotta have something no one else does, either that or present it in a way no one else has..
