How can you promote a forum website for an android game?

[jacoblee94]

I made a forum site: http://sleipnir.freeforums.org/index.php for an android game called Electro Girl. I want more people to visit the page and talk about the game, but whenever I try to search the exact address on Google, it won't pop up. How can I promote it if the search engine can't find it?! Please help

The definitive test for indexed pages, a Google search for:
site:leipnir.freeforums.org/index.php

Indeed does not get results, showing it is not yet indexed.

You need to either submit the site using a form on Goodle / Bing-Yahoo or by getting links from a few sites already indexed, giving search spiders a path to discover your site. Backlinks are needed to get search ranking later on...

This tool helps locate relevant blogs and forums where you can comment or post.

Other than linking to the forum from the app store page, I don't see many promotion opportunities, a Facebook page for your app biz is worthwhile.

Forums have a big chicken and egg problem, no one wants to post on an empty forum, priming the pump with several user accounts making posts, perhaps employing paid participants gives it a lived in look.
