Hi & Welcome to my new article!
I hope, you'll read, and comment it. So, here we go:
All we, want to make our forums to be popular. With a lot of active users, that help to the forum with improving statistics etc. This is not so hard, we just should know some tips. I will try to write, and explain how can we do it.
1. For first, we'll talk about the forum meta-tags. What is a meta-tag? Meta-tags, to be explicit and clear, are the HTML codes that helps google (and other search engines) to find and to index your forum. The description of site, goes to a little meta-tag code, language of site, author, copyrights dates etc, except the site title. That is not a meta-tag.
Ok, google find our content basing of what I said above.
2. Do your forum content avaible to reviewing to search engines, ie for visitors, because google robots are like visitors, have approximately the same permissions.
3. In first point, I just refreshed you a little bit. Now, we will talk about certain things. Lets start with forum title...
A forum title should be simple and descriptive. 2-3 words would be perfect for a title. Google index our forum, getting the Forum title & description, and publish these two things. There are another details, about I can't speak....
So, also, choose a simple and clean title. Without strange chinese letters, or signs etc.
4. Forum description should also, be descriptive to your forum. Here you can write at least of 3 prepositions. Again, use only literary words.
5. Owerthise, when you start a new forum, you should search some partners, that will also helping in promoting, improving your forum. P.S. Don't choose partners with another forum subject. For example, a counter strike forum shouldn't have a partnership with a coding forum.
6. Use Forum Promotion sections from another forums. Even if somewhere, ask you yo have 20 posts (just example) on forum to use that section. That really help. Rely on popular forums, so people'll come also on your forum. Be sure, it works!
BUT - when you advertise your forum (in correct section), be convincing. Your post should look clean and good settled.
7. Use Facebook for advertising also. Create a special group for your forum. Post there everyday about a new article, tutorial, announcement, about new statistics and more...
8. Never put autoplay players on your forum, background muscic or something like this. This will not decorate your forum. The visitors will run very fast from your forum. They can listen music in their Winamp.
Enjoy!
