Please?!


1.) How can I make my forum active?

2.) How can I at least find people who know about the subject of my forum and will join?

3.) How do I make my forum appealing?

4.) If anything, can you guys tell me what's wrong with my board/something that needs work?

It's about the Eragon series of books (Yes. BOOKS.) and here's the link:

Please answer those questions for me.

Thanks,

1.) How can I make my forum active?

Well, first off. Advertising might help. Get some of your friends to get people to join and post around.

2.) How can I at least find people who know about the subject of my forum and will join?

Find a website based on what your forum is about. Check out your local book websites and whatnot, and search for fans of the book your forum is about.

3.) How do I make my forum appealing?

Loose all those pointless forums. It's way to large. Start off with just a few forums like the simple Hello forum and General Chat. And than 1-2 forums about that book(s).

4.) If anything, can you guys tell me what's wrong with my board/something that needs work?

To many forums. Large forums intimidate some people, causing them to ignore your forum.

One thing I might suggest are a few sub-forums for a large forum. It doesn't make your board any smaller but it's good as long as it looks smaller. As for me I link my sub-forums in my into my parant forum's description.

1). The theme works well, although the ads at the bottom are very distracting and take away from the theme. Right now I am seeing a blue (bright at that) google adsense ad. While I won't be poking around the footer for long, just something to consider.

2). To increase traffic, if you have a bit of money, try Google Adwords

Also, a good idea would be to search for Topsite listings relating to your forum's topic, and submit it thoes, that really, really helps. ^__^
