I have had my board for almost two weeks, and we only have about nine members, only 3 of which actually post... I was wondering if you could give me some tips to help me get some new members... I have tried SEO and it hasnt worked so far... Thanks in advance... :erm:

2 weeks got nine members. I say that's a pretty good result.

if you keep growing in that rate, you will have about 250 members in a year.

The best thing you could do is bring your friends and get them to bring their friends. Recruit! I opened my site 3 days ago and am already at 110 members with over 1000 posts.

Advertise with other alike sites

EnIgMa1234 · #6 08-09-2007, 03:49 PM

Also submit your link to search engines!

A lot of that I have done, but it hasn't worked...

It takes time for people to come. It's not "instant" as you would like.

Word of mouth is often the best way... so as EnIgMa1234 said: tell as many people as you can to join and get them to tell as many people as they can. Advertisement is key too, I recommend finding sites that are similar to your own (or in the same market) and try to set up links and affiliates with these sites. What forum do you own?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
