Maybe because they register their domain to search engines or something...

Well for getting members, I registered with loads of search engines and registered on Top Sites, as well as other Harry Potter forums. Although check the rules of any forums you are about to advertise your site on. Usually Admins are okay about you putting a link to your site in your signature.


The thing is, these methods are getting me members but apart from the friend I knew from before, no one is posting in the on topic threads yet. :rolleyes:

You have to have charisma, that is the bottom line. Both you as a person and your site have to be appealing for members to have a reason to stick around.

Not a charismatic person? Too bad! Hire a staff member who is, and give them the job of site promotion; you'd be amazed at the difference it makes. :)

I, for example, have about as much charaisma as a three-day old cheese sandwhich. I needs meh goons! My promotion team is essential to my site's sucess.

I spent six months posting to hardly anyone on my board. You just gotta make it look like it's active, post something daily, offer something to make them come back. My board is for my clan which is more of a family so we're pretty active. Also, go enter it into search engines. After a while you'll get it on google too, since it searches other search engines and snags their links. It may be hard, but if you really want to get it goin you just need to be patient and make sure you have someone posting. Try and get some friends to help too. I didn't have anyone to help me out in that area
