Default Need VB SEO & Advertisement Advice.

First off what does VB SEO acuatlly do I've read up on this, somehow it makes your search engine rank go up, I believe. I'm really not sure. Can anyone provide me with details on this, my board is very small and new would this even have an effect on it?.

Secondly, my co-owner and I bought over $200 worth of advertisements, products, such as business cards, wristbands, shirts, etc for our forums. It fits into the theme, we are thinking of having a booth at a festival, and passing cards out at local shopping stores with permission, do you think this will draw even enough people in.

How can we get more members, I've done the whole myspace, facebook, etc directory thing, nothing is working?. Perfect skin, layout, etc. Is it just not getting enough hits yet, how can we change this.

Also yes, we are going to do paid posting before we hand out or promotion items in person. Which is in a week.

Were struggling already, what can we do!. thank you in advance for you help, its honestly very appricated.

Latest clothing styles, gear, etc. It's like a blog where you can talk instead of posting coments.

Your forums are in the upload folder still, you need to fix that. In effect, move everything inside the upload folder up one level so that it's /forums instead of /forums/upload.

Your opening announcement was what...three weeks ago? That's not long, don't panic just yet. SEO is really more of a long-term strategy, it won't have immediate effect.

Alright, and is there any reason why I should fix it?. Ha, I have'nt really seen a big reason to fix that folder issue. Okay at the VB SEO, I will pass that offer for now, how should I get members, just keep waiting, and trying my best online.

Well your forum isn't going to explode if you don't move it -- but it's a little strange to have the folders laid out that way.

Personally, I've found word of mouth to be the best advertising tool. If you visit other forums, put a link to your website in your Signature; ask your members if they wouldn't mind doing the same.
