Well, I've posted on a variety of forums on how to address this issue yet haven't gotten any responses. I'm not sure why OSE shows two different results as /index.php is the landing page for both URL's. /phpBB3/index.php is the absolute path and www.bearsfansonline.com forwards to that page as well.

Thanks the quick reply. We have a tumblr and twitter account which we link to on our forum main page (we deleted our facebook account). Regarding competing sites, I'll be sure to see if they're actively doing to attract members.

One question on a little tangent though. My current campaign is for "www.bearsfansonline.com" but when I went to OSE I saw that the page "http://www.bearsfansonline.com/phpBB3/index.php" got a much higher score (it's the landing page). Should I be making a campaign for the page instead? I'm not really sure what to do with this information.

Hi all. I help run the forum at www.bearsfansonline.com and really want to see if there any ways to increase traffic. We started with a core group of posters in 2009 and since then have only added one active user. I'm worried if we don't bring in some fresh faces, my core users will start to leave.

That being said, does anyone have ideas how to go about doing this? We've tried holding contests but they haven't resulted in any new sign-ups. Don't really know what else we can do. I'd greatly appreciate any tips, suggestions, etc. Thanks in advance.
