Hello all,
As you can see, I don't really get to used with vbulletin. I am using IPB before. So, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I don't really know how to attract people to join my forum. :2no: Here is the link:
Webmaster Centre

Thanks in advance
- Jerry

already start by adding it to as much directories as you can fidn, just look over this forum and signatures from some

and yo'llfnd many
Then add sitemap generator to your forum and add it to google webmasters part...
Then try to find other places that have the same topics as yours and post a little over there, don't forget to add your site (low profile or the admins might just delete it) in your signature. Maybe write a little article about your forum, goals, means etc and publish it left and right (there is a psot in here for that) etc etc.
And every forum starts with the owner posting mad to get some life in it.

But I have to say you didn't take the easiest topic... there are tons of forums and the ones that are really working are often backed with big bucks.

You'll have to apply every seo trick to be listed top in search results. And there is this forum for. Just look them up, think deeply if it fits the goal of your forum and if, then apply it. Nothing is to much.

I would remove the moderator column, is just taking up space

Thanks guys for the advice as well as the suggestion. I already submitted my site to few search engine, such as alexa, yahoo, google, etc. I am still trying to write an article about my site, it may take time because of my poor english grammar :2no:.

If you can get a few decent back-links to your site, the search engines will find it

having the link in your sig here will help as well.
