Welcome to Day 14 of 30 Days to More Traffic!
Introduction
One great way to drive quality traffic to your website, although you might find it to be a small amount on a daily basis is by forum marketing.
Remember that one hit of quality traffic is often worth as much as a few hundred hits from a non-quality source. What makes it of quality is you’re getting traffic based on what you say in forum replies (you’ve already sold yourself to a degree).
Join a forum on your site’s niche.
Login and edit your profile.
In your signature, provide a link to your site along with a tasty blurb.
Another huge benefit of forum marketing is that you’re talking with others in your niche. At the same time you’re driving traffic to your site, you’re market researching. You’re finding out the biggest problems in your niche, so that you can provide solutions in the form of an info products or website content.
Tips & Tricks
- Start by finding a forum related to your niche and make sure signatures are allowed.
- Build your reputation as an expert in your niche. Provide quality information in your posts and replies. Users of a forum will only click on the link in your signature if you’ve enlightened them. One tactic you can use is by creating a new thread with pure information in your niche, almost like a blog post.
- Never link to your own site within content of threads. Only place a link to your site within your signature.
- Be sure to read forum rules and regulations before joining any forum. Nearly all forums don’t allow affiliate links in your signature or within threads.
- Don’t spam forums!!!

One of my favorite free marketing methods for oh so many reasons, great post!
Yes please god stop spamming the forums…can’t wait to start mine and do eviler things to evil spammers.
Yes, it’s a word LOL
Yes, forum marketing is effective. From what I can tell, the SEO benefits per signature link are not as good as for article marketing. However, it’s much easier to rack up lots of backlinks in a short space of time, so it still helps a lot.
Also, you can rewrite your forum posts as blog posts or articles, and get still more traffic as a result.

That is what the professionals do. It’s one of their secrets.
Sometimes they do just the reverse: they take a really good blog post and post it on the forum. Because the content is good they’re going to get lots of people looking at that particular post on the forum and lots of people are going to see their signature.
Forum marketing is ok i dont like it personaly anymore for my new blog. Forum marketing only works well for people who blog is related to business.
