All forums when starting out have the chicken-and-egg problem, you need to get traffic to get more content but for more content you need traffic.

To solve that:
- seed content first. Either make accounts of your own and make content pretending to be different users or pay other people to interact on your forum in the beginning.

- make sure you follow Google's User-generated content seo policies.

- have sufficient subforums for subcategories. Categories that aren't too broad but aren't too small either. Like BHW.

- See how other forums gained traffic back in the day. Forums have opportunities for some very unconventional marketing methods because of how interactive they can be.

I remember a game forum using an ARG in an openworld game to market themselves. Such unconventional methods bring a lot of buzz and clout.

A good way to boost traffic on a forum is to encourage users to share giveaways or free valuable items. It attracts visitors.

Try to share more and more valuable content even though it is coming out of an admin/Mod account. Initially share something unique which you think is nowhere being shared. Be it a course, Valuable insight on a product/Service in your niche. This will force new members to stick to your forum and slowly make a referral program and award those members who get you 10-20-30 members(Badge/Entry to a private Subforum). Slowly build links for those threads/posts which you believe have good Traffic potential!
Try to find out ways to let people interact and post engaging content, Admin/Owner plays a vital role in making a forum successful!

I've found the traffic from Reddit is pretty trash, tbh, and quora. I mean, that shit has gone down hill. Everyone there is just spewing out shitty chatgpt answers.

1. Quality Content: The most important aspect of any forum is the content. Encourage members to create high-quality, relevant, and valuable posts. Regularly update the forum with fresh content to keep users engaged and coming back for more.
2. Keyword Research: Identify relevant keywords and phrases related to your forum's niche. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner or SEMrush to find popular keywords and incorporate them naturally into your forum discussions and posts.
3. On-Page SEO: Optimize your forum for on-page SEO. This includes using SEO-friendly URLs, adding meta titles and descriptions, and using header tags (H1, H2, etc.) to structure your content.
4. Mobile Optimization: Ensure that your forum is mobile-friendly, as mobile users make up a significant portion of internet traffic. Google also considers mobile-friendliness as a ranking factor.
5. Fast Loading Speed: Improve your forum's loading speed. Slow-loading pages can lead to higher bounce rates and lower search engine rankings. Compress images, use efficient coding practices, and consider a content delivery network (CDN) to speed up page loading times.

For Forum,

You need active users, if users are active then they will definitely generate content, which will attract more organic traffic.

after boost of facebook, forum system start loosing its value, only few forum successfully survived and that is because of there maintenance and quality.

If you are starting new forum, then prepare full plan, its hard to maintain a forum,
and if you already started then give some benefit to active users.
i used to own a forum in 2009, it was based on vbulletin forum script, same like bhw.
and that time many forum popup and many of them pay to user for per post basis.
like 20 cent for thread creating and 10 cent per post.
