Are you using forums to good advantage?
Not only are there some online forums that provide solid information, they can be an excellent
way to drive traffic to your web site.
I recently made a posting on just two forums about an unusual book I’d found:
Discovered! 505 Odd Enterprises
An inspirational collection of 713 unusual but practical ideas,
suggestions and plans for building a spare or full-time business.
Compiled from the actual experiences of many “little fellows.”
2nd Edition
by George W. Haylings
1947
Then I placed a link to my website that tells folks where they can download the book for free for themselves.
I received hundreds of visitors and a mention in another sites online newsletter that wanted to call people’s attention to my discovery.
I didn’t make megabucks, but I got some good pay per click revenue.
Marketing is about driving such traffic to your site on a regular basis because you’re posting new
“finds” all the time.
Using forums can create “instant traffic” while producing valuable third party links to boost your search engine rankings if you make relevant posts and don’t spam the forums.

I think this is an amazing way to generate a lot of free traffic to a website. I haven’t been using it much, but I think I’m going to start soon.

Another great thing about using forums is that it can help your google page rank of your web site.

Work from home Business Guide This has become so popular that there are now many companies set up that pay people to forum boost, that is spend their time posting in as many forums as possible and get paid for the links they create. Only problem with it I see is one day forums admins may become tired with it and disallow url postings.
