Do You Get Organic Traffic on Your Forums

[Nomad]

I have two forums and I receive organic traffic on one of my forums. The forum is on investment and finance niche and I receive traffic from Google search. The search traffic is very small though. Most of the traffic on my forum comes from social sites like facebook and Twitter. Do you get traffic from search engines?

I do not think forums can get organic traffic.. To get organic traffic, your forums need to rank high on popular keywords and I do not think it is possible for forums to rank high on popular topics.

It’s actually very possible to get organic traffic. You have to provide quality content that can obtain organic traffic. My forum does well with organic traffic. it receives 50-70 daily clicks from google search on a daily basis and tumblr drives in organic traffic as well. I also receive a lot of organic traffic from Reddit.

Yes, decent enough.

It has improved steadily. I am glad about it.

The last few times I checked, my search rankings were terrible. I rarely got clicks that the Google search console would show me and I barely had any content indexed in the search results for how many pages are available across my site. I'm not sure how I rank in other search engines, I know that it has been terrible on Google.

I had the default Jcink domain verified through a meta tag added to my board, but I just now re-verified my site with my custom domain.

Most of my traffic comes from forum advertisement listings and signature advertising, I think.

I will have to agree to disagree about forums.
It all depends on the niche and the content.

Nice job on getting organic traffic

I think it's doable, it just takes a lot of time, expertise, some really unique or high-value content
