One of the ways that I find helpful to kick start a forum, whether it is now dead or just getting off the ground is to use a Post Exchange System. A really good system that I have been using for about a month is Post Fusion from the owners of AdminFusion. This system is completely automated and allows you to post in your free time.

The advantage of post exchange is that it is cheap. There are a lot of paid posting services out there at the moment, but very few of them produce posts that don’t look paid. Therefore another advantage of a post exchange is the people that are doing the posts usually pick forums that they are interested in. Another thing that PostFusion does is leave the moderation of the posts in your forum up to you. So if someone is just posting usless drivel you have the right to delete those posts. On top of that, if the same person does it on multiple forums then they are banned from the system.

So, in closing if you have a forum that you want to promote check out PostFusion and add it to their list, make some posts and get some in return. I have heard that http://www.theebayforum.com/forum/, currently at the top of the list is really easy to post in and the admin is great
