Any specific ideas on how to do it?
For an instance if you search vegan talk in google vetalk.org is the first but it is still not popular for some reason.  _________________ Alistar

It doesn't come up when searching "vegan forum" or "vegan webboard"........the other popular ones do.
I would read the link I originally posted.
You have to work at it, announce the existence of the board everywhere you are welcome to.
Doing something different would help.
Too many webboards are either too restrictive or too permissive.
There is no software out there that is starting to put more filtering power in the hands of the users to let them do it themselves.
I think that combined with a LOT of grass roots advertising will help. _________________ Steve

I just read that article.. It advices to spend $300 on yahoo.
Personally I think it's a lot of money and the article is already 1 year old.
Is yahoo still an authority that can improve our traffic? _________________ Alistar

It also advises other things........
Just having conversations on your site, even if you start them yourself can help.
For example, my original post in this thread was months ago.
If you put time and effort into promoting your site, you will succeed and you will not have to spend a ton of money. _________________ Steve

The first link directs to a page that is entierly about meta tags... which is strange because it starts with this:

The first thing exercise instructors tell overweight clients is that
*exercise is not a magic solution
*exercise is not a magic solution
*exercise is not a magic solution
You have to work at it, consistenly.
Either you want it to happen ( and you will work at it, find ways, etc.. ) or you don't _________________ Steve

I have advertised vegnews.org and vegtalk.org in a vegetarian and vegan group in Care2 Connect at http://www.care2.com. Care2 Connect has 5 million members, although not all are vegetarian or vegan Let's hope it brings more traffic to the websites. |

He he he, healthy skepticism is good.
If you visited the site I mentioned you would see that there is no money involved whatsoever. All I will get is the satisfaction of advertising a site that I think is useful to a community of people who might be interested. It is the same thing as you telling your friends about this site - although you wouldn't have anyone questioning your motives.  |

Actually I was curious to see how would you react to my question, not to find out the answer itself  |
