    We advertise our forums all the time to bring in new members and keep our forums going, where do you guys think most of your members find you?

    My signature helps and also by advertising it on other forums
    But I think when your advertising you need to make it look interesting to get members to have a look no point in put join my forum at ************* with no info members are not going to join then

    Most of my members find through other forums because of my signature. Also google, and promotion forums.

    Back when I ran/promoted my own forum, most probably came from signature links as well

    A lot of my users have stumbled across my site through their friends. I also get some traffic from google. Surprisingly, the google traffic really spiked when I added adult content to it. >_>

    Not just that Google likes adult content but people do. There is a huge market for adult websites...lots of people searching for it.

    Yea I agree... well I dont know why some people run them... Just imagine yourself running a porn forum or website. Its pretty weird in a sense.

    I asked the same question when GamingIsland was a forum, they all got to my site because of affiliates and mouth.
