SEO And Advertising Techniques

Search engines are for a lot of websites the primary source of traffic. And every webmaster wants to make sure that their websites appear in the first results that google (or any other search engine) gives when a person is looking for a specific keyword.
To accomplish this there are certain SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques that can be used.
Keyword density, keywords in the header and title tags, good description and keyword meta tags and many other tricks.

Forums however are a bit harder to optimize because you've got no real control over the content of the pages. Without any mods or changes the meta tags are often the same for all pages (and most of the time even unrelated to the topic of your site), hardly (or no) header tags with keywords, no alt text for images and so on.

But you shouldn't only focus on the search engines as your source of traffic. You can also use other advertising techniques for forums, and often there is also a chance that it'll improve your rankings as well. Submitting your site/forum to directories probably won't give you any visitors, but it's a great way to get more backlinks. You can also buy advertising space on other sites or do link and banner exchanges If they have a high PageRank, it'll be another benefit. It's better to have a few links from high PageRank sites, then from lots of sites with a low PageRank or no PageRank at all.

You can find more tips about optimizing forums in our "Search Engines, SEO, advertising techniques and traffic building" forum .

Pay per click

Hi there... my coadmin informed us today Google Ads dumped us.
I have no idea why.

Can anyone recommend any other good pay per click ads?
Or something to generate a bit of money to pay for the server a year?
