			Well i'm mostly asking people with anime forums and sites, my site ANIME XPLOSION is pretty new and i am wondering, how do u get your hits, i've got all 151 current members of my forums, by advertising on other boards, thru buddies on AIM and other IM devices and thru others, but i look at other forums, like animeboards.com and they have an inhuman amount of members, so how and where do u get yours, i have added my site to topsites, got an affiliate, but still looking for more, and i advertise on loads of other forums, but still i only get around 150 hits per day

 ![]() I too would like to know the secret! [EDIT] After taking a better look at your board, perhaps you should allow people who arn't registered to view posts? In all the forums I tried to view a post in I got the no-permission error. Any forum that forces me to register to view the board, forums, or posts I simply just leave. [/EDIT]  |

			I also get quite a few guests looking but not registering, but I don't want lots of people registering only never to post or be active, that just creates more work for me.

	- PR / Advertising: + Ability to get 1-5 people to join a day + Ability to get 25-60 unique hits per day + Ability to submit site to top sites and search engines. + etc... With about 3 of these you can get a good user flow. 3-15 new members per day

	You know how much it costs to have a larger vBulletin site?! I started mine Sept 30th 2002 and have "Members: 1,875, Threads: 4,443, Posts: 37,417" I have moved from one hosting company, to a dedicated server, outgrew that and now Im upgrading to another dedicated server this week. Not cheap but cool for sales and bragging rights!  |

			Search engine positioning. I am ranked both 1 and 2 in Google for my keywords, and 1 in all other search engines, including 1 in Yahoo, 1 in Looksmart, 1 in MSN, 1 in AOL...

			Me too, I'm first on Google. I finally got Mr. Googlebot to crawl my most recent threads, too. It gives me most of my hits, but I'm starting to get a lot from vBT, too. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	On registration one of the required fields is Where Did You Hear About WDF. It's very useful
