Seo and forums

[Trojanfan]

Does seo really help improve the amount of members joining your forums?

SEO will help you place better in SERPs, and higher rankings will allow people to find your site easier. So I would say yes.

Does Paid SEO work? Will it be much different if you do it yourself?

It certainly does because you would be getting more visitors thus more members.

it certainly does! how are you going to get members if you don't get visitors! lmfao.

Along with optimization comes content.

You would get a lot better results in SERP's and with recruiting more members if you had your site optimized and created fresh unique content as often as possible.

Forums are a great way to display content over a wide range of topics relating to your site niche. Use that to your advantage once your pages are optimized and you have started gaining inbound links from other related sites.

You should aim for one page of content per day. Once your forum hits 1,000 posts if you have followed these simple suggestions then you will see descent Google traffic and search engine ranking for your chosen keywords.

1,000 posts is just an example, but I do not believe a forum really gets popular until about the 1,000 post mark.

Keep engaging in discussions about SEO and continue to learn and you should have no problems getting those members to your site.

Oh yeah, most people do not start a discussion forum unless they already have a huge following of users or a massive email list to start getting them right away. If you start from scratch without any users to target you will have to wait until you generate enough members and posts before you start to show up well in search engines.

Good luck!

Hi,

In Paid SEO you can easily get visitors rather than other type. In paid SEO the amount of your you have to do is less comapred to the Free SEO.
