I think it is a little bit different from my point.

I would say it's never something one should do. In the end it doesn't benefit you. Put that money into advertising. Post alot topics yourself! Do exchanges, get your friends to help, but don't pay anyone for it.

There are a number of different paid posting services out there and I have worked with them, and have worked for some of them as well to get an idea of how they work behind the scenes. Unfortunately what I have found is very disappointing. There seems to be huge lack of regard for quality within paid posting services, I have never seen a paid posting service actually find people that have any authority on the subject in which they are writing. Usually the people they get to post are people that are looking to make a fast buck and don't really care what they are writing as long as they are getting paid. The paid posting services just hope that their customers will not make a fuss as long as they see their post count rising.

I think that the best way to get your forum buzzing is to get a group of friends, or like minded people and get them involved in the project. Together you can create great quality content which is financially cheaper.

Problem is that you will get people who are joining just for the pay. Quality of content may be compromised

I think you are best served spending your time driving traffic to your forum

And generate a few category posts that are of high quality

Allow backlinks in signatures
Gone are the days when you can insist on 250 posts before allowing signatures. Too much competion out there

Hm. Though there's probably no way to find out, I wouldn't exactly skip with glee if I found out others on a forum were paid for their posts. It would cheapen the experience for me. But if I never find out... well... I wouldn't have the chance to feel cheapened.

The idea kinds of makes me nauseous, though... but I understand why people pay for posting.
