Recently, i have come across a very good site to upload videos to showcase my talent to the world. The site is Thinkgottalent.com on which you can upload video clips, create friends within the community, keep a collection of your favorite videos, and comment on clips. You can also search videos of your favorite performers by topic or keyword. You can upload video clips of any size and it is our problem to make sure that it runs properly on the site for the viewers. You can also comment on videos and rate them once you have become a registered user. To submit your videos to Thinkgottalent.com, you must sign up to become a member. If you want to step up to more community features and get widespread viewership of your video clip, then you also got options for that on Thinkgottalent.com.

are you asking of ways to promote an existing website that has a forum and it is a general advice website on a range of topics ? or are you looking to set one up like this ?

advertsing - getting your website seen:
google adwords is used by webmasters to get their websites seen - it's called 'pay per click' - google is still the king of search engines so you might want to get an account set up with them - it's a bit time consuming as you have to bid on keywords (keywords are what people type into google when they are looking for information/products/services.)

seo - search engine optimisation - this is the way to get higher placement in search engines.

If your gonna do it properly you need content on your webpages that has keywords that people might type into a search engine, if you haven't got any forum members for example you set up about 10 different personas (people of your own creation) - you then get them to add keyword rich articles that people might find interesting relating to the subject they are searching for, then as you get more form members they start to chat to each other and the personas can 'fade away' or you can keep one or two to stir things up occassionally - lots of webmasters use this method to begin with to kick off forums - as admin you can also add article as yourself aswell.

monitoring visitors
you need to monitor your real visitors - so you can find out what browsers they use, what resolution screen they use etc. as this determines how they get on with using your website.

you need some understanding of how google's search engine bot works, as that again is the main source of indexing your website - thus making it visable in the search engines.

your html/ xml/javascripts and stuff may need to be scanned for errors using a validation tool if you want a 'clean' interface - usually it's just a case of adding or removing brackets in your webcode, where a webmaster has frgotten to close tags or something - using them is optional - but I expect it is what a professional webmaster would do, it is an optional step only.

You need a newsletter or a blog people can subscribe to somehow - to remind visitors you exist and brand/logo can also help with that.

that 's a few ideas to think about for starters.

In the first place you have to make sure that your website has been designed appropriately for human consumption and not the search engine.
The next one is that,you have to make sure that the subject or topic you are publishing is genuine and also genuinely of interest to the public.
You will also need to know who your target customers are in other to get to where you wanna be.
You will also need to be to understand copy writing and to put it effectively into work
You will have to create topics that will make people to start to link to which means that,the "linkers" have got something in common with you.
You will need to a site and forum that is search engine friendly and optmized with relevant key words
You will need to submit your website to places like joeants,shopping.com,google,yahoo,msn,ask,open source
you will need to write press releases that will draw the public to your site and or forum.

As you can see,there is alot you need to do and if i keep naming them one by one,it could take days while i am still writing.However if you can start this way,then i think you are not far from realizing your goal.

By advertising using classifieds rather than spamming the forums! Wink

You can try submitting your website(s) to social bookmarking sites like digg, propeller, now public and stumble upon Wink

You can also join social networking sites, like facebook and myspace, make friends and introduce them your site.

Even yahoo answers can help, by answering questions that are relevant to your website(niche) you can place your link as resource to your answers.

I specialise in SEO and Online Marketing -

You need to work your way through a checklist - Its quite time consuming but the results will generate natural links through to your site without the reliance on paid advertisement such as ADWORDS which can prove costly.

1) Register your website on business directories e.g. applegate

2) Attack web forums such as this... generating interest in a forum propells your site in organic listings through indirect links back to your website.. (Only problem with this method is if the forum creates negative feedback)

3) Online reviews - Use review sites that are *doctored* to create positive information about your company e.g. reviewcentre.com

4) Look at the top ranked competitors, you can analyse their sites through alexa.com and see who they are using as external links and affiliates back to their sites.. use this information to develope the same relationships that are linking to your top competitors..

5) Free sponsored ADS... that's right, indirectly you can create free sponsored ads through google that link through a third party back to your website - www.ziki.com has a free mechanism for generating free 30 day campaigns on specific keywords..

6) Blogs - Blogs can generate tons of traffic if you attack them correctly.. update with continous information and use a platform that will do most of the ranking work for u... e.g. word press or blogspot... Develope links with similar blogs and start a community of blogs that send traffic to your site. Eventually you can then pursue RSS feed in your blog..

7)Affiliates - Quite simple. create banners and share with other relating websites.. Try offering incentives for third parties to host your banners e.g. rev-share schemes...

Cool Video Streaming - Youtube... one of the greatest inventions of this decade!! A marketers dream!! Upload relating streams with links back to your site.. Youtube creates an obscene amount of traffic if you can get create exciting streams that user would want to watch.. other similar sites such as metacafe are effective also..

9) Newsletters - Buy a mailing list and use a platform such as mailing manager to *spam* those listings..

10) Finally - And most importantly.. Optimise your site content for a search engine.. use google analytics and webtools to analyse your site and see where you need to edit cotent..

Dont forget a sitemap, page titles, meta-tags (although they arn't really that important any more) and use word content on your site that you think a user of google would type in... i.e. if u sell Coffee through your site, use wording such as "leading coffee retailer" "Top coffee" etc..

I have a 40 stage checklist so i'm not going to release all my stages as i'd be giving away secrets to the competition, but this should be enough to get you started Very Happy
