Ways to get forum Traffic

Forums is an online Discussion Site. These are web applications which manage user content. It gained the highest users online. People use forum to be a part of a certain online community. People join communities where they find interests and share various things.

Now, let's say you have started your own forum. You expect people to participate and take interest in your forum, you spend a lot of months for your page rank to increase, but the problem is, there is no traffic at all. You might wonder what went wrong. The only reason why this happened is because no one cared to join your forum, there were no members and no posts in your forum. Now to take something out of it, Every user wants to join a larger forum. They expect to share and exchange ideas and start threads, ask questions and expect other user to leave answers.

How to make Forum and get Large Traffic?

Start with a Small forum with less category for your site. just make the very important ones that people can get attaracted and user should get interest in it. This step can help but it may sound crazy. Make bogus users, with different usernames. Then post as many post as you can. You can create valuable treads, and use fake users to reply to the posts. Make a lot of threads and make sure you have more than 6 replies from the other fake users you have created. This may be time consuming and do it for three months or longer. Now if a new user come to your site he can see there are many threads. So there is a great chance that this user can join your community because of the participation and value in your site. Make sure you reply to the new user thread with different users. Making this require a lot of patience, so be patient enough to succeed. There is another alternative too, but you have to spend money for it, but it won't hurt. If you are lazy you can go to sites that offer services like these instead of making fake ones. They have real users who will enter your forum, sign up and post threads accordingly to the plan, it will suit your preferences. Now your forums will be loaded with real people, so new users will be conviced to sign up too, like the former process. The only need is you should have patience if you opt to use the manual way if you have budget constraints. So take you time and choose what suits you best. You can use other forums to get traffic to your site. By showing some valuable post in your forum.

Great idea but I have a question. What's the ratio of a user will click an ad in a forum versus a blog?

I ask it because many of us who started a blog wants to monetize it one way or the other. If not now maybe in a future and I think those who start their own forum wants to earn something out of it later on.

Well, based on my own experience, people who visit blogs have a bigger chance in clicking your ad versus those people who visits the forum. I myself clicked a dozen times already this month on blogs ads because it appeals to me and to the topic I am reading. On the other hand, on forums, I just go there check out interesting topics, participate and leave without clicking any ads at all.

I guess my question is, is it worth to build a forum where it is harder to get visitors and also harder to monetize in general?

Is it ethical to create fake users and create fake posts and threads? I think it would be better to get real people either through online promotions or something that will trigger their interests to join your forum.

But how does forum traffic compare to blog traffic in terms of click conversions. I mean traffic from a popular forum can really go high compared with popular blogs but I think forum traffic click less ads than blog traffic.

Plus with all these forums around about everything, its really hard to get a piece of the market.
