Is there any particular reason people should post there or is it just a forum that you're hoping people will post at?

Its a forum about Celiac disease... and, they are my members rather customers.. Most of them come online becasue i see them but, no one posts anymore. I made a poll today, so far 2 posts to that poll.. 2 people voted but no one replied.. gawd I got some cheap members.

this is the forum

oh and, can you guys sign the guestbook or is it against the rules to ask. bye

heh, you think you have cheap members...I've been continuing to run a failure of a website for local music artists for the past 3 years. They post their shows once and never come back. Thank goodness they support the site. I'm still not sure why I bother with it.

Does it cross your mind somtimes to delete the forum folder..lol

A web site traffic expert I'm not...but speaking from my own personal experience in viewing websites, I would offer the following as just something you might consider. Your milage may vary

The first time I saw your page, it was interesting to learn about the subject - but because the front page is static, I would have to hunt around the site on return visits to see if there was anything new. If the front page contained a consistant stream of news and events, perhaps that would keep me coming back to see what is new. Fresh content is also a driver for discussion topics in the forum.

There are many sites and forums on the web that discuss site traffic and marketing. I would also suggest searching for and reading for topics such as traffic building and marketing.

I think you are off to a great start - but a successful site is more then the site building - the really hard part is in the content generation and marketing.

Oh and, to answer back to the other poster.. we are working on it.. according to the celiac acossiation all the info on the site is correct.. also the site is being maintained by several other members... and, the
whole purpose was to make the site look old fashion, retro.. etc..

oh and, lastley we have a budget.
