I have a forum. Should I have a blog on my forum ?? will it help me to get more members and posts ??

[shamzblueworld]

Nope, its not gonna help you get more members or posts.
Now, what kind of a forum you got and what kind of a blog do you want with it?

[Jybraek]

Having a blog won't necessarily get you more members it might though increase the traffic to your forum a bit if you do proper SEO. Like Shmazblueworld asked what is the forum about?

It could increase traffic to your site in general but you need to have a way of converting blog readers into forum members. You could do this by promoting forum contests on your blog, linking to active topics in your blog posts etc.

It will not do any good for your forum reputation but may work for getting you enough traffic to rank your forum if you target right traffic and do good seo..

[nagy00]

i think it will not help you really and you can get more members and posts by sharing your posts to social media like facebook , twitter this will increase the traffic to your forum

[shadypro]

Making a blog wont help you getting more members in your forum , better do some promoting in other forums.

DOnt have blog on your forum. A little users will use it. Stay with forum.

[walash]

You could have a blog separated from your forum. Blogs are a nice SEO tool to increase your traffic.

You could post viral or relevant high quality content on your blog with a "read more" lock that redirects to your forum. That way people would subscribe more.

It is easier to monetize a blog compared to a forum. The money you make from a blog can be used to promote your forum, or increase the number of threads on the forum offering some incentive to the members for spending their time posting on the forum

it will definetly help. Trust me . i f you want i can help to setup it

I would say the blog is not that bad idea, however regular website is better.

i think you are right. im thinking to create an blogsite too but there is a risk i think since the owner like google can delete it if it violated any rules

Now, what kind of a forum you got and what kind of a blog do you want with it?

Why do you say this?

Forums these days rarly get found in search results however blogs do. Forums have little text on the first page while a blog post should in theory have way more.

How is this going to help with signups? More traffic.

[ash2090]

Yes it will help you sure. If you do that it looks awesome to your forum.

[ToFyHD]

yes will looks great in ur forum

[lightning18]

I don't think this is necessary as long they are engage in different topics that they enjoy talking about. I have used forums and I don't see the point of creating a blog for the members. I think it is best if you ask your members. If it will be beneficial to the site.

Basically blog will be helpfull to get some organic traffic if you post article related to your blog. And add forum link in the post.
