Driving Traffics - Forum marketing

Monday, July 7, 2008
No matter what you website is about, there will be hundreds or perhaps even thousands of other people who are interested in the same topic or subject matter.It is likely that many of these people have got together before to create forum websites where they can ‘meet’ to discuss and debate their passion.


Find out where these forum sites are, and get involved in the discussion. Most forums will allow you to add what is known as a signature file, where you can add a link to your website, although you're not allowed to overtly promote your site.Nevertheless, if you get actively involved in a community that is focused on your particular subject or topic, then it should be relatively easy to invite people to view your site.I have, in fact, found this tactic to be particularly effective when working with non-digital affiliate products.


I believe this to be a side-effect of the fact that 99% of online affiliates are working with digital products, and when they see something that is clearly different (i.e. your non-digital affiliate product) it generates immediate interest.


In other words, by being different (by not promoting the same products as everyone else) you and your products stand out. This is something that I have found is a major plus point when working with forums and community sites.Big-boards.com is an excellent resource for finding appropriate forum and notice-board sites.
