How to promote a new forum to retain users

The biggest difference between forums and websites is that in addition to a large amount of content information, you also need to make visitors willing to register and participate. Therefore, the success of a forum is harder than that of a website. Especially many webmasters are troubled by the inability to make effective promotions after establishing new forums. Today, I will exchange ideas with the webmaster friends on how to promote new forums.

1. The first point is very important: you need to please the search engines first. What you should do is to get the search engine to index your content. You can start by submitting your BBS to the search engine. It usually takes about 10 days to be indexed. If the search engine happens to update, it may even be indexed the next day. After submitting to the search engine, if possible, try to make the posts static. This is more conducive to search engine indexing! Unless you're an expert, you must rely on search engines to develop. A5 has done a great job. Currently, I think it can develop even without search engines, but having search engines can increase traffic several times, isn't that better? Don't go against the search engines.

2. The second point is about content. It can be said that a good site definitely has its attractive aspects, and the content must be what users need. If an SEO forum is all about mobile phone topics, then everyone can imagine, the site is bound to fail. Content must be refined, what is the theme of the forum? This should be clear to every visitor who comes to the forum. Otherwise, if it's too general, it seems to include everything, but in fact, it contains nothing. Such a forum will be easily forgotten by others.

3. Forum points are very important. A5 only realized the use of points later on, and after adding the points function, it became much more popular than before. The points trading area was also exceptionally lively. Points are equivalent to money, and no one dislikes them. They are just virtual because they are used in forums, which are virtual worlds anyway. A lively forum usually has a very powerful points system. Except for some forums that are built with money or those brought up by big sites, which we will not discuss for now as they have resources that are incomparable. Badges are also a great interactive tool. Many forums have done a great job. A5's real-name system is another type of badge.

4. This point is also very important. You must do a good job of interaction. Remember: a forum without interaction has little popularity to speak of. You need to interact well with users. When someone reports to the forum, you go to welcome them, so the user's impression of the forum deepens, prompting them to come back for the second and third time to see the development changes of the forum. Although it seems casual, it lays a good foundation for future development. Also, you can recruit some capable moderators because with them, you can be much more relaxed. People like bustling places, so more people means more liveliness.

5. If you do well in the above points, then you have succeeded by half. Then you can use legitimate SEO techniques to improve the website ranking and obtain effective traffic from the search engine.
