Are there any good places to go for a good traffic exchange to get more users to sign up to your forum? _________________ Seek and you will find

I think traffic schemes tend to be scammy

Join any supernatural type forum and make a couple of posts on each a week. Make sure you have your forum in your signature. Be active on those forums and find new stuff for yours. I've seen some photos on 'supernatural forums' that are so faked it hurts... it does get people talking though! A photo like that would be so easy to fake and with a little bit of clever "Do you think this is real?" and have the link to YOUR forum, people might join just to say thatthe photo is a blatant fake, then they look around, the rest is history _________________ \| Royal Marines Online \| Royal Marines Forum \| Quick look busy, admin is coming

Slightly off topic, but one thing I was thinking of today after a new person who has a myfreeforum site joined my general chat site, would it be useful, from a page rank point of view, for us to each set up a "post your forum" on our individual sites like the one we have here? You would only be able to post your forum if you have a reciprocal forum on your own site. i.e. Symon posts his funnyworld and theghosthousegang forum with a description of what they are etc. I can then post my forum and description on his sites.

I quite like that idea. Were you thinking of allowing posting by Guests for that, or would we all have to register to be able to post on each other's forums?

I have a section on my forum for affiliates where I post a button (i.e. a small pic) which links to their site and they link back to my forum. Would that be any better? That way the forum admin does the posting on their own site.

Sorry, forgot all about this

hadn't really thought that far ahead, but your idea sounds good, the only problem I see is how do people make a request for a link without joining?? Maybe a guest posting forum is the way to go you could still delete posts that are deliberate spam or were the forum in question does not allow reciprocal links.

Would this actually help to increase page ranks??

All links are goof for page ranks. Especially if you can get them across domains. Hence partnerting with myfastforum.org site from myfreeforum.org would be extra benefical. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

OK I have set up a reciprocal links forum to give this a try. It is available HERE I have one link in there, which is not reciprocal at the moment, but I liked the idea behind the forum If anyone wants to post in there then if you set up a similar forum on your boards were I can post a link then we are in business. _________________ Childminders, Long Eaton, Sawley and Sandiacre - Nottingham

A good idea is to try and make the links to a forum sticky. e.g. a powerful landing page for google.

Thanks for that. So it would be a good idea then to let people post their links as normal, then for me to set up a sticky that I can recreate the links in? That way people can post a little info on their forum with a pic, but I have a sticky which just contains the links. Would that be the best way to go? _________________ Childminders, Long Eaton, Sawley and Sandiacre - Nottingham

The important thing is that both the page with the links and the pages linked to are prominant pages with good keywords. Thus a sticky on your forum should contain both descriptions and a link to a "good" page on their forum.
