Hey, SMF community! ;D
I apologize for this essay of a post, but by the end of it you will have a new way to promote your forum and at least 100 unique visitors, guaranteed!
I am a University student in the UK studying business. Part of my end of year assignment is to create a "service that is useful to a community", making it as successful as possible over the summer. So, since I <3 'SMF' I thought I would try to offer a service that benefits the SMF community. After a lot of pondering... I realized that it is actually really tricky to promote a new forum, especially on a tight budget!
My solution? A website that promotes any SMF forum for free!
I'm assuming you are like "Yeh, big whoop buddy"... but hear me out. There is no point promoting on a website that has no visitors right? Exactly.. so my University was kind enough to provide me with backlinks on their PR 7 website, for the keywords "how to promote a forum for free". They will also be sending out a bulk email to the 21,000+ students that receive their weekly newsletter.
I have two weeks before the newsletter is sent out and I'm assuming it should take a couple of weeks for my website to be indexed.
So, I need some forums to promote! If you provide me with a URL I will add your forum to the front page of my website, it is first come first serve I'm afraid. My target is to promote 50 forums in 2 weeks so I could really use your help guys.
You can vote and comment forums @ http://www.forumtuner.com/
Here are two:
http://duke.xadro.net
http://iduke.info
Thanks dude ;D
You are first on the list.

I wouldn't believe this as i have had my site up for a while and not received one single click from this site.
i mean that my website receives about 100-150 unique visitors per day, so websites on the homepage are likely to be viewed by that many people :)

And forumtuner.com isn't even a live site anymore. The last few times I checked it all I got was a Host Gator screen.
Indeed, you are right. That site no longer exists. :)
Maybe this topic should be locked.
FORUMTUNER LIVES!
Before this thread is finally locked I would just like to let you know that forumtuner.com is back online.
I'm sure you will notice it is slightly different now, as you can now check your forums ranking and share statistics.
I hope you will find it useful and thank you to everyone that helped make forumtuner a success (I got an A for the project).
hi would you please put up my link?
not too sure if it's student material but hey it all helps ;)

many thanks
Brett.
That's a very nifty little site you got going there. Nice job mate. Keep up the great work...
http://www.superheroalliance.net
Do append my site in when you got the time.
Thanks :)
I wouldn't trust this site any longer, it had gone down before and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes down again.
No point putting your links there either, because most visitors are probably bots and also Google's new Search no doubt ranks these sites lower because they have no content, just links, that seem like spam.
Are you talking about my site? I hope not.......
No, he's talking about the opening post and the site mentioned in it.
www.geeksoup.net - free technical support.
www.TheQE2Story.com/forum - The stories surrounding one of the greatest ships ever built.
Please, please lock this thread, once and for all.
Duly locked.
