- Web Design, SEO, Coding, Hosting and Misc Rants Tips For Creating A Successful Forum
If you have ever tried adding a forum to your site you will know how difficult attracting members can be and how hard it can be to get them to post. If you do it right, A forum will be a huge generator of traffic and page views, So that also make it a great way to generate revenue with AdSense. If it is done wrong, However, It will be nothing more than a collection of empty pages that take up disk and database space.
What we will be doing in this blog post is give you some basic tips that are often overlooked that will help you create a successful forum. You still wont be guaranteed a successful forum, That depends on you, But we hope to increase your chances.
Make sure you know your topic
When your forum is new it will be down to you and your friends to answer most, if not all questions. So make sure you know what you are talking about. You don’t have to know everything, But you do have to know more than the person posting. If the thread sits unanswered for weeks that will be a member you have lost. If you have to, Google it. You may be able to find the answer online somewhere else.
Forum hacks and features
Some may disagree, But i think one of the reasons WMT has become such a successful webmaster forum is because of the hacks and features they have. Ad-share is a great way to get people posting and karma points are a great way for people to easily see which member is likely to offer good advice.
Not too many topics
Don’t flood your forum with empty topics. Something people usually do is create about 20 different topics that remain empty for some time and make the forum look inactive. With a new forum the fewer topics the better, It will condense your content and make it appear active.
Make the forum appear active
Who wants to join an empty forum? Nobody does. When you start your forum create a bunch of names and start posting, Have some conversations with yourself and generate something that appears to be an active popular forum.
Affiliates
A good way to promote a forum is to have your own affiliate program. Offer people $10 for every person they refer that eventually makes 250 posts and have a minimum payout of $100. Of course, Money isn’t the only incentive you can offer. Things like a free advert or free hosting also work well.
