Do SEO and promote your site to get more member and better PR moustafa. but since your domain name is hard to remember and doesn't have any appropriate meaning, you need hard work to promote your site
Yes, SEO is one efficient method to bring more visitors to the site, plus with a higher PR you could get lots and lots of visitors on a daily basis from the search engines. Just chose the right key words...Quote:

you can do some promotion so much more members join.
@alec, I am doing everything alone and really don't have much time to upload sitemaps , page rank ..etc
I am trying to do my best, starting threads in some forums and purchasing views to my site .
No, what I mean, your site name (domain name) is not too good, because it doesn't have any meaning (in english)Quote:

Try to join webmaster forum and ask your domain appraisal.
I hope too that the number of members will increase, because that means we are going to have contest, and prizes ... all those things that makes a forum attractive to others...Quote:

Well same for me i have save log in details in roboform software so it is to remember site name......
anyway name is too complicated but layout of site is super their is no issue issue speed and other stuff.....anyway hoping forum will get huge response and admin will start some contest soon. :D
thanks Izabella & Govind .
anyways, soon my site will be accepted by google .
and now there are some more traffic .
rest is on you guys to bring some members to join and then I'll start contests .
well i have not joined this one yet. bu for sure that moutafa has created a very nice forum again. i will try to join this one soon. but i am hearing some good reviews about this site already.
As soon as the site starts to appear on the google results page, that means lots of visitors to the site. and I bet that a lot of the visitors will eventually join the forum.Quote:

You might think about staring the contest sooner... that will surely attract more members :)
pending time is between one and seven days and then it will be listed in google .. i have referred to all the forum sections in order to attract much more members .Quote:

rest is on you and others to refer others to join, start threads in other forums and convince members .. and you know well that i'll start contests :wink: .
:wink: :wink:
Moustfa,
Many people including me don't like to participate in contests type of forums as it's always on luck. If luck is not on our way, then all our efforts will be in vain. So people always prefer PTP over contests.
I think you would be better off if you keep low rates per post, than having contest. Contests is a secondary thing for us. I may participate in your forum because I know you, and you are like my friend. But it's tough for us to introduce new, unknown members in your forum.
congratulation dear friend,what are the prizes and contests ,i'll definitely join ,and i'll give ur url in my sites dont worry.Quote:

First method I can think of : (For this to work, keep 0.50 minimum payout)Quote:

This method will work as long as you keep low minimum payout like 0.50$ or 1$.
Second method :
Keep 2 or 3 cent for per post, 3 or 4 cent for per thead. And keep your minimum payout very high and something like 10$ 15$ or 20$.
Note, it's all just my opinion. I don't have much experience about this business. So finally it's upon you how to work. You may have your own method to grow.
The low pay rates will attract new members or any members to post, only if there is no posting limit, most of the sections are paid section and the minimum payout to be as low as possible, something around $1-$2!Quote:

Yeah if the forum has high pay rates then more members will sign in automatically.Quote:

Well moustafa are you thinking start PTP with low rate but i guess it will be good idea to get good traffic and good members also.Quote:
