    Do you think marketing your site is the best choice, I think it is because you have no choice, if you want to get ur site on track...

    Kaiser,
    Some where on here I saw a posting from you that listed several different sites to help promote forums. I am unable to locate that posting. might I ask you to point my nose in its direction?

    Thanks!

    Best thing for a paid forum that isn't a admin forum is ads. Ads, Ads, and more ads. Get them posted every where. That and doing promotion on promotion forums.

    If you will please forgive my noob-ness... I have downloaded what I believe to be the right php file. it is a text file with a bunch of code, but I do not know exactly where to put this code.

    Sorry if I seem a bit dumb in this whole arena.

    Just upload it to your forum's directory so for example if you your forum is located at yoursite.com/forum then you upload the .php to yoursite.com/forum/postloop.php
    Then you are all set and you can start posting and get your points up. You will get the hang of it. Not very hard.

    Alright guys back on topic please.

    Is marketing the best choice?

    I tried running an ad on Facebook for my Childhood Cancer Forums site. I got over 1000 people to say they "liked" the ad. However, NOT one single individual joined the actual website. Frustrating to say the least....

    I have yet to really go after twitter. I am not even sure how to do that.

    You should also try Google Ad-words. I never preferred FB as a place to advertise.
