When to add a forum?

[Gigababbler]

Hi guys,

I was just wondering, I've been aiming to put a forum on my site for some time now.

So far, I've around 300 visiters a day. Do you guys think I should start adding a forum?


Thanks,
Jim

I would say there is no harm in having forum with visitors you getting

First of all, congrats, Jim on reaching the 300 mark. Just from personal experience, 300 visits a day wasn't enough traffic for me. I believe I tried at 300-400 visits. Also, it depends on your site and niche. If you have a very specific / narrow niche then I don't think you need as many visitors as someone with a broader niche.

It's really hard to say. In general, I usually recommend your traffic to be in the 4 digits before trying to launch a forum but that's definitely not a rule of thumb.
