I have a relatively new site that I am trying to get active. The site is www.thepartylive.com

It is a Canadian Politics and News site. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get more visitors? and Members to the forum?

This is proving to be muchharder than I thought, also going through the webmaster forums people that want to exchange links always want to do it for PR therefore the majority of the time they are unrelated. I on the other hand am not as concerned about PR as I am about getting uniques.

Does anybody here want to exchange banners with my site, or links, or if you have any idea how to get my site better known I am open to suggestions

New sites, expecialy new forums, take a lot of time to build up member base. Great way is to register at forums, make a few GOOD quality posts and have the link to your site in your sig. It might not seem like a lot, but can generate hundreds, or even thousands of vistors to your site. Another good way is to advertise on sites related to your site, and /or exchange links/banners with the same sites.

That is all that I have been doing recently. Posting in forums, however most of them have been webmaster forums so I have been getting traffic but not very much members being generated.

I have been exchanging banners and submitting links, but so far not with much success in the ways of memberships. I have even did some post exchanges with people to make the forum look active but the moajority would let me post and then disappear which has cost me a lot of time.

You might want to try posting a paid to post offer in the NP$ Incentive forum. It seems like the people there are pretty responsive and could get your forum started quicker. If the forum's good, some people will probably stick around after the incentive ends. I've found a couple of forums in there that I'll keep posting in because now I'm hooked.

I like that idea, and I am sure I will not be prosecuted for defacing the money.....they don't enforce that very much

Indeed it is tough to start getting traffic to your forum, but it works. You need to have patients, as marketing and promoting your forum will take some work and a lot of time.

Basically posting in forums and having the link in your sig will get your started.

Holding contests helps, as does word of mouth.

I find the best way to promote your site is word of mouth, since you figure a minimal amount of people at least will expose your site to someone else, than they will tell someone else, etc...

Regards,

You can turn you banner exchanges, link exchanges, google adsense, buying ad space on different web sites and so on.

I have actually put Adsense on the site and started buying advertising on other sites. However that only took me so far, and I have opened my own, low cost advertising campaign. Check out http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=123137
