What Goes Around, Comes Around - Get Active On Forums!
If you are looking for an affordable way to drive traffic to
your site, getting active on forums help. I don't mean getting
active as in search forums on search engines, register for an
account, post an ad about your site, and never go back to that
forum again. Not only will your posts be considered as SPAM and
get deleted by admin, you will maybe receive 1 or 2 visitors
from that one ad post if you are lucky before admin finds the
posts for deletion.
If you want to take full advantage of forums to get your site
exposed to active members of that particular forum that you are
in, find a couple of busy forums that interests you and where
members talk about topics that are relevant to what you do on
the internet. You will get to read questions posted by ones that
are new to internet business, and if you've ran your business
for a while, you may be able to help by responding to those
posts with your personal experiences and some information that
may help them further. The more active you get with posting and
helping others, the more exposure your site will get. How? Each
registered member are allowed to create their own signature
which is shown every time you make a post. Although you are not
allowed to advertise your site directly, intentionally, you are
allowed to have a link as part of your signature that will
direct interested readers to your site.
Of course, you can be the one asking questions as well. I'm sure
that you will appreciate answers to your questions and maybe
check out what the responder's site is like, if he/she has a
link as his/her signature. That's how people will visit your
site. If you are willing to help answer people's questions and
give them tips and suggestions, interested viewers will read
your post and would like to know what sort of business you do on
the web. With the willingness to help others who are in need of
help with their online business, you will receive their
attention and appreciation - sort of like a win-win situation to
me. What goes around, comes around.
