Question

I have created a forum for people to discus and argue about politics (as I believe this to be a popular topic for internet chat/debates)

However I do not know how to premote it without spending a bomb. So far I have managed to get the domain name and hosting for free

The only problem is promoting/ getting traffic and members. I have added it to the google search engine however it needs content before it will appear in search results and it needs members before it will have content. So you can see the problem.

So how do fellow forum owners promote there websites? Anyone got any bright ideas?

yes webmaster and ianmiller are the same person. Therfore I can express my own political view rather then the view of the board, if you get what I mean.

It is hosted by invisionfree which is why it has the ads. It is currently in the standard invision layout/colour scheme. But I am working on the colour scheme and logos etc.
