I have been trying to find information on how to market a forum for a client. Since there isn't really any static pages how would you start? How different is it versus a normal website?

Just of the top of my head, get a expert in the field to answer questins on the forum for a night. If you dont have many users, aim low to start with.

Once you get a bit happaning then you will gain links from people linking to posts.

A website for China - SEO & Marketing

I want to launch a website in China and have read that the best way forward for Baidu SEO is to host the site in China itself - does anyone have experience with doing that? It seems there are a few hoops to jump through, but I imagine I'm not the first to try?

How do you go about sharing and marketing your articles to get exposure?

Hey Guys, So I have heard about this thing called blogger outreach lately, but I was wondering, what was the point of creating good quality content, if the content can no be found? Is there some sort of way that we would need to go about making the content seen? Sorry about the ignorance around this stuff, I'm completely stuck for how to market our content. I have read through the backlink guide by moz I have also read other articles about blogger outreach. Any advice would be great. Is there some sort of approach that anyone else uses that could shed a bit of light for me. Thanks

Viral Marketing

Hi Guys, I hope I'm not breaking any rules here by requesting commercial services, but a client of mine has asked to have a book they are doing to be taken viral. I've not done any viral campaigns myself, and I think he has just heard the word and grasped hold of it without any real meaning to himself, but could anyone offer any companies that would be willing to attempt it or some similar marketing? Thanks, Adam

How to increase traffic to forum?

Hi all. I help run the forum at www.bearsfansonline.com and really want to see if there any ways to increase traffic. We started with a core group of posters in 2009 and since then have only added one active user. I'm worried if we don't bring in some fresh faces, my core users will start to leave. That being said, does anyone have ideas how to go about doing this? We've tried holding contests but they haven't resulted in any new sign-ups. Don't really know what else we can do. I'd greatly appreciate any tips, suggestions, etc. Thanks in advance.

Forum Guidance Required for Wordpress

Hi, I have a client with a reasonable size WP site (around 5,000 pages) and we plan to launch a forum to increase user engagement and interaction. My client is in the B2C sector, mainly male and typically high net worth. I have read the Moz article the-huge-untapped-potential-of-qa-content-for-seo with interest and that raises a few questions: Does the Q&A model works in the B2C sector? What is the best way to mix / run in parallel Q&A and posts/threads? Who are the best technology providers within this sector? It doesn't need to be necessarily in WP, but it would help. We would like to incorporate the same reward structure that has been so well impemented with Moz and so it's the usual buy or build discussion... Can anybody highlight great examples of best practice? Thanks in advance ofr your help! J.
