I started this board a little over a year ago. I was looking for ideas for another forum that I could start, and much to my surprise, was unable to find an Archie Comics forum.
My initial plan was to advertise through Google Ads, but that fell through pretty quickly after I learned that the company had told Google that they didn't want people using their trademarks (character names, etc.) in the ad text.
The forum started off slowly, but for some reason has seen tremendous growth over the past 4 or 5 months, even with little promotion on my part (adding a link on Wikipedia, and putting the link in my signature on a few boards). I have recently started stepping up promotions a bit more - advertising in fan groups on MySpace and Facebook, and joining some rather large comic-related forums.
Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
