Articlelley,

Can you please give an example of a forum you have found doing this?

I can’t figure out how that would work.

Another tip is to view the cache of posts - I have found that some forums don’t display links to googlebot and hence don’t contribute to SERPS.

Posting to forums is a great way to bring traffic and a strong forum may be worth posting to for the traffic benefit more than any link popularity.

As said above - quality regular posts will bring your reputation to others attention and draw them to your site. “me too” type posts will not be of benefit.

Great ideas. I’ve used many of these, I also use Glyphius to check my work, no need to duplicate what is already out there and what may not be working.

i use forum marketing. is a great way for attracting new visitors. Actually, the traffic that is coming from the forums, is well targeted and converts very good.

Of course, there is one condition if you want to have great conversions…

1. VERY GOOD SALES PAGE (or SQUEZE PAGE) like i am trying to have (maybe if you have time you will check it out and tell me what do you think);

2.A good reputation on the forum`s.

Use an ad tracker to know where the sales are coming from. Then you will know on which type of promotion you should focus.

I have been posting gin forums recently, and I have found that it definitely does help with traffic. I have been getting more and more hits from search engines as a result.

Also, I’ve had a couple of affiliate program sales recently. I’m not sure exactly where they come from, but I think they were forum readers who clicked through from my posts. The sales came not long after I’d been very active in the forums, so I think they were what did it.

Forum marketing is a great source of traffic and backlinks. If you’re a serious poster and have thousands of posts, then when you launch your new site within a few minutes … you just change your signature and suddenly you get thousands of backlinks.

I have never used forums for advertising but I think they could be an amazing source of qualified leads. I have purchased endless marketing programs, software you name it but have found success in other ways. Will I ever learn? How many times will I fall prey to these internet companies promising me everything from what product to pick, to how to market it online? Will I ever re-coop any of the money I wasted buying all those products?

Or will I keep buying the next ”big thing”, hoping that one day, it will actually deliver and I can truly have an online business with a web site listed on the first page of search engines and will actually make money so I can be financially set and not have to die at my 9 to 5 job?

Sound familiar? They promise you’ll their marketing product will guarantee traffic you need for your site! Did you know most of them don’t even use they’re own products? They make their money from selling you the product. They have big fancy, splash pages, showing you all their satisfied customers and tell you, times running out, hurry buy now before the price goes way up.

Have you found anything that really works? What if I told you, for almost no money, I have 4 listings on the first page of Google, Yahoo and MSN? What if I told you I have one web site on the first page of Google and MSN and 2 on the first page of Yahoo? What if I told you all these listings and web sites are all linked together and sell the same product? What if I told you 95% of these listings were FREE? Have I got your attention yet?

What if I told you I could show you how to apply all the things I have learned and used in the last 6 months to your web site and you could get the same listing and dominate the search engines too? What if I told you it was so cheap, you’ll think I should be in a rubber room in the nuthouse?

I know it sounds too good to be true, but I’ll show you proof that I have 35 to 65 % of the listings on the first 2 pages of the top ten search engines for one product. Will you keep trying and doing what your doing now or are you ready to dominate the search engines and REALLY make money online for a change?
