[Maximus_]

Hello Guys,

I've just purchased this forum www.globalgoldtalk.com. I don't have much experience with forums so your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

What is the best way to promote such forum?
What would you add to the forum? What is missing?

Thanks

1) Put a link in your sig at other forums
2) Basic seo techniques
3) Small ppc campaign
4) Give-aways / contests

Just to name a few

Maybe find some other new forums and exchange links or something.
