Generating Traffic to a New Forum

[Tonks]

Generating Traffic to a forum, how would I add my forum to search engines and such? Any advice on other methods for getting traffic?

Search Engine Standings

Generally, subdomains don't recieve as much "popularity" as domains. Unless you have that topic covered with a bunch of keywords in it and your domain/subdomain practically that keyword then you might be on one of the front pages but otherwise; probably not. Meta tags don't help much because certain search engines don't look at the meta tags because some people may spam them. I don't think google searches using Meta tags, but instead keywords in the content.
