We have just added some forums to our website which does very well with traffic. We have added the fourms this week on
www.tradingmanchester.co.uk where people can talk about politics, football, health etc. The trouble we have is, we have lots of visitors but because these forums have come on this week people are waiting for other people to post on them first so how do we attract traffic from people who will help us get the ball rolling on our site.
We have a great site because we have like a magazine site with a free business directory and people love it but when it comes to attracting people who will post on the forums this is another matter. When we have asked members, they have said that they are waiting for other people to post and it seems to be the same old story, it is like not wanting to get to a party to early or to late.
Can anyone help and if you would like to go and post then please do, but if anyone can give me advice on how to get these forums up and running then i would be grateful.
