Build backlinks by asking other similar -- but more well-established -- boards to affiliate with you and this way you should potentially receive more traffic. Don't forget to add your link to your signature in all the forums you attend - such as here. It all helps.

Also, try and generate plenty of extra content (forum threads and such) to help give the search engines something to feast on and invariably: index. The reason for this is it greatly enhances the chances of people who are searching for something via Google, for instance, to have a thread from your site come up in their search - provided it's relevant to what they were looking for, of course.

In summary: build links and generate more content.
