It depends, how many friends, other writers, magazine editors, etc, do you know, who could give put a link to your website on their website.  \n\nEspecially if they are already listed on Yahoo, you will get listed faster, possibly very fast.\n\nSorry to hear about your problems.  Hope everything works out.

"If you build it, they will come" is not necessarily true on the Web. Putting a website up is one thing, but getting visitors to come to your site is another. The process becomes even more difficult if you have limited resources to market your business.\n\nHere are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible: \n\n1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.\n\n2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!\n\nRecommend Site Scripts (various) http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/\nBig Nose Bird Recommend this Site http://bignosebird.com/carchive/birdcast.shtml \nCGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/\nHostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html\n\n3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.\n\nIf you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm \n\nSEO for Google http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/google.htm\nSEO for Yahoo! http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/yahoo.htm\nSEO for MSN http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/msn.htm\nTying It Together: SEO For The Big Three http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/seo.htm\n\n4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News. My website (see my profile) accepts free press release submission (no strings attached!)\n\n5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.\n\nHere is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCUicOoyedqypscUjzKIX?qid=1006022407481\n\n6. Improve your conversion. Getting visitors is one thing; getting them to buy your products is a whole different story. Read the article "10 Ways to Convert Visitors to Buyers" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/072005/conversion.htm for tips on how to improve your conversion rates.\n\n7. Post a link to your site for free where it is allowed (always read the Terms of Use). Examples are:\n\nCraigslist http://www.craigslist.com\nGoogle Base http://base.google.com\nClassifieds for Free http://www.classifiedsforfree.com/...\nText L

Getting more visitors is one thing; and turning those visitors into buyers is another thing.\n\nTo get visitors to your website:\n\n1. Offer the best products. Sounds like a no-brainer, but your products are your best advertisement - if visitors love your products, then they will go back and spread the word to others.\n\n2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. \n\n3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.\n\n4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.\n\n5. Advertise only if it will get you targeted traffic. Whether you use pay per click advertising or buying text links or buying banner ads, carefully monitor your return on investment. If possible, get metrics to tell you whether the PPC traffic is actually converting into sale. Google Analytics can show that to you if you are using Google Adwords.\n\nWith regards to getting the visitors to buy more stuff, here are some tips from the article "10 Ways to Convert Visitors to Buyers" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/072005/conversion.htm :\n\n1. Provide quality products or content. Good conversion rates start with quality and a great value proposition.\n2. Grab their attention immediately. Put your most important and succinct statement of what your website offer above the scroll (e.g. sales pitch, order button)\n3. It’s about the customer, all the time. Visitors will respond to your offer only if you can successfully make the case that your website exists for them, to provide them what they need and offer a solution to their problem. \n4. Design your page specifically for your target audience. \n5. Make it easy for them. Make the ordering process easy. An indicator of how well your process works is the ratio of abandoned shopping baskets to total orders – if this is higher than 10 percent, then it indicates that the online ordering process you have implemented is ineffective, or takes too long. \n6. Improve your site's copy. More than a tool to inform users of what the site is all about, the best type of web site copy explains to a visitor how your product will fulfill their wants, needs and desires. \n7. Think active! Use active voice to keep your customers motivated and fully engaged in the sales process. \n8. Increase trust factor. Trust is a key element of success on the Web. Visitors purchase only from websites they know will safeguard their information, provide them with quality service, and offer them products that are value for their money. \n9. Build customer loyalty. Loyalty marketing is a proven technique to increase conversion rates and improving bottom line.\n10. Study your metrics carefully. You must have a set of key performance indicators that you can look at every day to understand the pulse of your business.

You said:\n\nThe site doesn't really have a "purpose" or theme\n\nThat may be what your problem is. In order to get more participation, you may need to narrow your focus.\n\nParticipate in other similar forums, include a link to your forum in your signature.\n\nOther than wanting more users, what goals do you have for the forum?

First of all, the golden rule is to have great content. You can then promote it by submitting it to search engines like Google or Yahoo!. Then you should tell people on forums related to the subject about your site. \n\nHave a good article? Put it on digg.com and reddit.com, and if people enjoy it, you'll get a ton of traffic (ever heard of the digg effect? -- it's when the server becomes sluggish due to the huge traffic generated by the site). Bookmark it on del.icio.us and maybe someone will spot it on the 'latest' column. \n\nIs it a piece of news? Get an account on newsvine.com and publish it there. \n\nWord of mouth -- oh well, keyboard also :) -- is also very important. Visitors who enjoy the content you provide will return and tell their friends about your website. Their friends will tell their other friends and so on.

I got most of these tips from Lissaexplains.\n\nFirst of all, you want your forum to look memorable, welcoming, and loads fast for dial-up users. Try creative designs. \n\nAlso, encourage your members to post more and be kind to each other. If visitors see your members in friendly conversations, they're more likely to join. On the other hand, if the forum had no posts for weeks, visitors might think there's no one at the forum anymore. \n\nEven though your forum already get so many hits, perhaps it's still not enough. Try seeing how popular your site is compared to other websites at Link Popularity Check.\n\nThis is more for websites than for forums, but another tip I found is this: Sign guestbooks. A lot of webmasters are influential people and many people visit their sites. A lot of guestbooks have a place where you can put an URL, put your forum's URL there, and take the time to give the webmaster an excellent feedback. It's worth the time.
