I've noticed there isn't a forum dedicated 100% to travelers coming to NYC. Of course there is TripAdvisor (probably the most popular one), but it's one of very many forums they have and it's totally unorganized. It's one topic - New York City - and that's it. Everything is thrown there. The same with Virtual Tourist. There are also City Data forums, but it's more about living in the specific city or moving there. I haven't found a nicely organized forum that would concentrate 100% on tourists coming to NYC.
So here it is, NY Travel Forum. I started it few days ago and looking at ways to get some traffic there. I started a Twitter account for the site where I post links to fun and interesting sites about the city. I use TweetAdder to follow people that follow other travel sites in hope that they would follow me back. I make sure I tweet stuff that's relevant and interesting (thank you StumbleUpon)
I do some posting with a couple of my friends to seed the forum. I will make sure there is new stuff posted every day. I was thinking about being active on TripAdvisor forum to get some people to my site but they don't allow signatures. The same thing with Virtual Tourist. :bgh:
I will be posting some articles on Ezine Articles and similar websites. I also have a pretty big e-mail list of people that used to visit NYC in the past. I will e-mail blast them when there the forum is a little bit more developed.
I was thinking about having a contest. $100 gift card drawing for people that register this month (or something like that). I could post it on Twitter or include in my e-mail blast.
I also got a couple of gigs from Fiverr. One is for 45 posts, the other is traffic for a month. I don't what they are good for but we'll see.
If you have any other suggestions please share. I am not looking at monetizing the forum just creating active community.
