It depends what your budget is. What is the forum?

When I started one of my forum I posted info about it on the relevant newsgroups, I didn't spam them just made posts that were relevant to the groups, which gave me a really good start.

I think word of mouth is an extremely powerful form of advertisement. Posting in different forums with your signature also helps you in promoting your site.

Try posting in forums and directories. These are the free ones.

Get listed in forum directories and visit many forums, your signature will work there. I dont think a paid advertising is going to help you much though.

Paid advertising doesn't work that much . You just need to first make all your close friends, everyone you know to sign up and contribute.Also try to do link exchange with revalent forums. Thread moved to the right forum -advertising forums

I think, that there is very important not only to bring vistors to the forum, but to make them stay there (or return there later).. For this purpose you should provide users with information thay need. I mean that if people see that some visitor asked something and got an inforamtive reply - they will come back when they will need some help.

hey Andrew or Jason, whatever you call yourself , Stop spamming on the forums.Don't you know that you can promote your company in a decent way without bothering people? You posted in many threads that had nothing to do with advertisement and you posted your url, used names like Andrew and Jason.

Anyways, I guess people like you are not welcome to this community and that is why we banned you. Have a nice day and learn some decent ways to promote your company.
