8.  Participating in forums relevant to your niche is one of the best ways
to get relevant and targeted traffic to your sites and blogs.
 Internet forums are so widely used and have thousands of members
that ask questions and engage in discussions and that large audience
can turn into targeted traffic that can lead to lots of sales and
subscribers. If you have not utilized the power of forums in your
Internet Marketing endeavors that you are really missing out.
 The fact that any good Internet marketing strategy involves a diverse
backlink portfolio, so getting links from different IP’s and domains that
are related to your site is the best way to higher SERP ranks, and
forum signature links are decent places to get some links.

9.  Posting in do-follow forums can give you a nice backlink for link building
and search engine optimization. The do-follow forum link comes from a link
you set in the signature option of your profile, referred to as a sig link. This
signature link appears at the bottom of your forum posts. So, every time you
post that’s a backlink! Remember to use a good anchor text for SEO but
also make sure it is eye catching for the forum audience to get the click!
 Make sure to read the TOS and Posting Rules to make sure that you will not
get banned. Also check out all the topics available in the forum many of
them have a section for website promotion, guides, articles and how-to’s
where you can refer to your sites within the post itself.
 Make sure to sound like an expert (no typos) this can bring lots of traffic!

10.  Read the TOS/Forum Rules and/or Posting Guidelines – Make sure to get to know the rules
before you post because you don’t want to get banned! Many forums have different and
specific rules. Usually you can find these rules in the forum index itself, as one of the first
threads.
 DO NOT SPAM - This is very important, do not write posts about your products and blatant
advertising, not only will this get you banned, it’s also the fastest way to turn off the other
members and NOT to increase web site traffic. People go to forums to look for information
and answers to their questions, not to read ads.
 Use Good Anchor Text for Signature Links – Forums are great for website promotion and
do-follow backlinks from your signature links. Make sure they are SEO friendly anchors that
contain your keywords
BUT
Also make them provocative to get the click! For example, the anchor “Dog Food” may have
your keywords, but the anchor “Top 10 Dog Foods” is much more click friendly.
 Many forums offer “Article threads” or “Guide Threads” or some such thing. This is
where you can post your own informative guides, how-to’s, content etc. Make sure to use an
intriguing title for these posts to get people’s attention. These posts are a great way to show off
your knowledge and authority and deliver a click to your sig links, which of course means an
increase in web site traffic for you!

11.  Be an authority – Besides the benefit of do-follow backlinks, forums can be one of the greatest
and quickest ways to increase web site traffic and this is traffic that is very targeted, as long
as you’re in a forum relevant to your niche. You want the forum members to click on your
signature links and the best way to make that happen is to respond to posts like an authority in
your niche. Be detailed, don’t just give one word answers, try to offer more valuable and
comprehensive replies. If there is a “newbie” section post there, newbie's can be your greatest
source of traffic. Know what you’re talking about. Check your typos and missing words. I would
hate a post filled with errors and broken English and I won’t bother to read it.
 Watch your reputation. Many forums use a “reputation” system that lets other members tag
you with points when you deliver great posts, this is a good way to build authority.
 Participate in the “Introduce Yourself” section. Many forums have a thread to introduce new
members. Be active there, introduce yourself in detail and welcome others.
 Check for new posts and participate often. The more you participate the more exposure you
get to increase web site traffic AND the more backlinks you generate, since each page you
post to counts as a backlink!
