What are you doing for your gaming forum?

Everyone will tell you that your forum needs quality backlinks and good content, but beside these factors, you also need to care about more SEO techniques as increasing social networks signals, building internal links or standard on-page SEO...they are also helping SEO for your forum.

I have done a lot of promoting etc. And done a bit of SEO work. Also backlinks have been produced!

I agree with everything that @David Beroff said. And speed is important as well. Try to optimize your forum to make it load really fast. You may use a content delivery network (CDN) if you like. Oh, and try to make your website more secure, since you have login. Using SSL certificates is a great way to improve your site security.

All the above are done. Thanks for your feedback!

Now the classic SEO optimization is becoming less and less important, since Google’s robots are improving very quickly.
To optimize and improve attendance, it is now better to add to the site demanded content, game FAQ, convenient rating with sorting. It is also important to do contests with prizes.

To rank in 2024, focus on niche topics, specific game discussions, new releases, or emerging trends. Your forum should become a go-to hub for those conversations. Optimize your structure: categories, tags, and thread titles need to match what’s hot, not just broad keywords.

For backlinks, stop chasing random sites. Partner with real gaming influencers who can send solid traffic your way. And remember, Google values user experience, so keep your forum fast, mobile-friendly, and engaging. More posts, more engagement, more SEO. Simple.
