you can offer text or banner ads on your forum for a set period of time as the reward/s for a contest.

Yes, free links and advertising is a good method for, say, a webmaster forum where the user base probably have web sites.

I think that is the poorest thing which someone can work for. Think about it, You are starting contests for PR and Traffic and why someone should be agree to posts on your low PR and traffic forum for putting banners or links?

I see your point and it is valid.  But it would also depend on the other promotion efforts and intentions of the forum owner.  Some relatively young (low PR) forums see a lot of traffic and a banner or link exchange could be useful.  PR is a little bit of a false metric in determining a site or link's value, IMO.

Yeah, free advertising on the forum is the best way to go if you have a low budget.
And it'll attract a lot of visitors if you already have a quite active forum.

I think free text or banners are the best way for sure because it really does not cost you anything to have that on your website
