I think the best way would be copied articles, but giving credit to the orginal source of course.
My traffic comes by directly talking to the people, so for me theres no need to advertise the site. The content on the site is of the actual users themselves, pictures that is. So they come to the site to the pictures. I make a requirement of 2 posts to see the gallery, which is ran by vbgallery, can be found at photopost.com
The 2 post requirement is the "fee" they have to "pay" to gain access to his area. Which helps the forum grow and gives new memeber something to comment on. I get rid of the spam posts, by making new uses not able to post new threads.
My site doesnt have the "how to get traffic" problems others would but Im going to follow this thread closely as Ive been wanting to start a new site that isnt so specific as my site is now.

I agree that paid posts are not the way to go. My members are the ones who create the content. You just have to have forums that meet the needs of your members.
