Tips on Increasing Forum Activity?

I think content is the most important factor. If a site has good content, people will automatically become interested and start taking part in the discussions. I see that you've posted a review of a digital camera. Send an e-mail to other sites in the same area of interest and tell them about your review. Maybe they will post a news bit about it. That way you not only get more traffic, but also start to build up connections with other people in the "industry".

I noted that you are linking to other peoples sites in your resources section. Are they linking back to you? If not, approach them and ask for a link back. People do look at resources sections in websites, it saves them the bother of having to google. In fact have a very comprehensive resources section is a good way to become popular, you effectively become a gateway.

Try and make sure that the first couple of news items on the front page are something contentious i.e. something that the community you are trying to reach can't resist commenting on. That way you get them into the forum by the back door.

Overall though, Rickard is quite right. The real trick is to concentrate on getting people visiting the site. The forum should then grow naturally.

They usually don't :)

Well...one tip I have is to dvertise all over the place. Join forums, post a few times, and have your site url in your signature. Try to make the site attractive and seem active. Get a core group of members that will always help you get more posts (most likely friends). Just wait, and don't give up. Be a nice person and just advertise!
