Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : SEO / SEM Discussions : What to do to promote site and help forum?

[HTTPbit]

Hi,

My site www.phpreg.com is getting more than 1500+ unique per month. I just launched a help forum on site and are wondering how to get new people to join it. Does offering some type of free things will help in this matter? Also I want to list it under the "PHP Help Forum" keyword on major search engines. Any suggestion for promotion in this matter will be helpful.

Thanks.

- post a link in a relevant forum together with a helpfull post
- answer related questions at answers.yahoo.com
- use signature links
- some forums offer incentives where you can trade points for a signup/post
- tell friends to join
- etc.
