Thanks for these guidelines ..really helpful
I've spent the last 2 days promoting my board on advertisement forums and i've been wanting to use other avenues for promotion.
This hits the nail on the spot.
Thank You

awesome post

I've just started my first forum - the presentation of the article was great and very helpful. There is a lot of competition in the world of the video game forum and I've noticed a lot of the "competition" have contests and giveaways - where do they get Wii's and XBox360's to give away?

Getting the first people to join the site is challenging and I was thinking about following this type of incentive program... Anyone have that kind of previous background?

A great resource thanks for this.
In fact I've printed your post off and am starting to tick each of the things off!

I think it's also worth noting that it's important to try and make your website sticky so that this new traffic stick around.

No good getting thousands of extra visits a day if they don't do anything but give you server strain

Making your site sticky is easier if you're in a niche with no or little competition, but try and do things to keep them coming back by having nice features.

The vB arcade hack is good - but we've also introduced a FREE sms texting service for registered users.

This has proved really popular so far.

Does anyone else know of nice features to add on?
