How Can I Get Traffic To My Forum

Hi,

How can I get traffic to my forum. The subject matter is the media business. I have a offline strategy and am now looking for the best on-line strategy.

Thanks

    Write and spread a ebook with links back to your forum.
    Start a blog on the side of your forum.

      Thanks for the advice, I have some related blogs that I am not using, would you sugget that I either create 10 articles and point them to my forum or create a blog on the side of my forum.
      Look forward to your views.

      Best Regards

        Do some videos on your main subject and point them back to the forum. Videos will get more power as Google has rated my videos way above my articles in the serps. I would do articles too, it just takes awhile to get ezine to approve and publish. The videos would get indexed right away with less wait than articles. Do a search for the best videos on your subject and copy the tags used for the top viewed videos. Do you think they will suggest your videos as well when viewing the top rated ones? You bet they will.

    Hi there,

    Build a list through a network of sites and market your forum to your list.

    Use usual SEO techniques after you've identified your keywords.

    Viral Marketing through ebooks / reports / videos.

    Pay for solo ads in other people's forums / lists.

    They will all get you traffic.

    If you need posters to make the place look busy, you can hire people who will post and interact on your forum in order to make it look like a popular place so other visitors see it and join in.

    All the best

    Jason
