Advirtising Help Needed!
I own a forum, and I want people to join it. I made it yesterday, really late (2 AM'ish) and I need tips on advertising. I know advertising is not allowed, and I'm not asking anyone to advertise for me, but I want some tips. How did this website become so popular? I have a game on my forum too, that's online and has a stats collector.
I've used advertising sites, but we all know those suck. Please give me some tips! Thanks! |

Facebook advertising. It's cheap, targeted, and downright awesome. I have no idea how they make a profit with such low rates.

Re: Advirtising Help Needed!
I just realized something.... Why isn't forum advertising allowed? It's not like any other forum is going to 'steal the show'. Even if it would, you have 1,000+ active members dammit. My forum couldn't possibly take that many members away from this website.
Yes, Tasselfoot, I'm questioning you. |

That's funny, because Tasslefoot doesn't work, associate, or even deal with FFR anymore. #OutOfLuck

Re: Advirtising Help Needed!
I'm a noob, remember? Don't expect me to know everything!
But still, why isn't advertising allowed? |

Even a noob can still read the front page to see that Tass is too busy working on flash game walkthroughs instead of what people remember him from: Here.
Also, isn't it obvious as to WHY advertising is against the rules? |

Re: Advirtising Help Needed!
Did you not read my second post in this thread? Or at least the part that didn't mention Tasselfoot?
EDIT: Screw this it isn't worth arguing. Last edited by Therod; 11-27-2010 at 03:20 PM.. |

Re: Advirtising Help Needed!
oh come on unkownman :< read more carefully
this website became popular through natural means.. people who liked games like stepmania, beatmania iidx, ddr, itg etcetera found the FFR forums a good place to gather.. it served as a place for people to share scores, talk about games that are related to ddr in itself, and such. also, the forums wouldn't have come about without the game nor the simfile database, and the profiles included. so yeah, there really was no forum advertising - all the other things sort of contributed to the forums. |

Re: Advirtising Help Needed!
What does your forum offer that other forums don't?
If you can think of something, sell it on that.

Re: Advirtising Help Needed!
Errg... FreeWare game that is online, has a ton of players, has leaderboards, has single player, a dedicated server, and awesome graphics? Did I mention that it's free?
Like that? Yeah, my forum offers that. Last edited by Therod; 11-27-2010 at 05:20 PM.. Reason: Did i mention it's free? |

Re: Advirtising Help Needed!
Just one problem: Facebook is a pain in the ass. Also, it costs money. T_T Remember, I'm only 14. I don't have any money to spend on the internet.
EDIT: No, I'm not broke or poor. I just don't spend money over the internet. |

Re: Advirtising Help Needed!
Advertising sort of implies that you'll be coughing up a little change.

Re: Advirtising Help Needed!
if you cant afford to pay for other people to advertise your site then you have to do it yourself

Are we just blatantly stating the obvious here? Or are you guys just trying to troll him?
