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.

Yes, for your own website I'm assuming. If you don't have a website and want to open a forums website, I use phpnuke. It's a pre-built webportal system designed to customize for your users to interact. You'll have to have a server to upload the file(s) to and decompress. The requirements are tomcat/mySql/php/ That's IF you want a serious forums website... Sorry if I wasn't much help though

Explaining that is beyond the scope of this forum. If you want forum software, rather than create it yourself , use one of these instead. \n\nHere are a few:\n\nhttp://www.invisionpower.com/ip.dynamic/products/board/index.html\nhttp://www.phpbb.com/\nhttp://www.vbulletin.com/\nhttp://www.groupee.com/\nhttp://www.ubbcentral.com/

If its a small time site AKA not many visoters you probably want to go with bravehost or tripod Best thing is you can get it for free but your adress would be like yourusername.bravehost.com. If it is larger you could go with yahoo web hosting which is available for $10 a month and up. This price includes domain name(www.yourdomainname.org).

XHTML in and of itself doesn't allow one to script a forum. You must use Perl, PHP, ASP, Python, Ruby, or any other language available for CGI.\n\nThere are many open source forum programs available for free. The great part about that is you can use a pre-made program as is, or you can take an existing package and modify it to suit your needs, or if you're writing your own from scratch, you can see the source code to get ideas.

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 Link Exchange http://www.txtswap.com/\nRecycler.com http://www.recycler.com/\nYahoo Classifieds http://classifieds.yahoo.com/\nUS Free Ads http://www.usfreeads.com/\n\n"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
