Driving Traffic via Forum Marketing(Posting)
March 31, 2011 | 
Author Hi and thanks for checking out my blog. As I told you in my earlier post, I’ll be updating my blog with more quality information and important news only. OK, in today’s post I would like to touch little bit of forum marketing.
If you have been browsing the Internet on how to drive traffic to your site then I’m pretty sure you would have come across the word ‘forum marketing’ and today I’m going to explain how to use the forum marketing or more accurate to say that how to use forum posting to boost your site’s traffic.
If you’re not familiar with what is a forum, then just google up the word and you’ll be returned with many words. In simple term, forum is a place where like minded people joined together and share each of their views, opinions and ideas on their interested topics. If you’re interested in the Internet Marketing niche then you definitely need to take a look at the Warrior Forum where nearly most of the successful Internet Marketers have been member there in their early days.
In my opinion, it is still the best Internet Marketing related forum. If can, please have a look at it. Most of the forums are free to join but there are also some forums requires you to pay for the access. However, the method i’m sharing here is can be used in free or paid forum. If you haven’t signed up with any forum in your life, then try to check out warrior forum. At the time of writing the forum is still free to use.
Once you are signed up with the forum, the very next thing you need to do is setting up your profile. If possible, please use a real name and NEVER EVER try to spam the forum. In the profile, you’ll see a link that shows that signature link. This is where you’re going to have your website or any other special offer link with a catchy and relevant words to pull more traffic from the forum to your site.
For instance, you can have a look at my signature in the warrior forum. Just searched for my posts in forum and you’ll see my signature link. Remember, certain forums like Digital Point Forum won’t allow you have your signature link until your membership access is older than 7 days and must have more than 10 posts that you’ve so far contributed to the forum’s discussion. So, always read the terms and conditions before you start using any forum.
The next step you need to do is browse around the forum and take part in the current discussion. Only comment if you really knowledgeable or also want to find a solution for the problem that have been associated with the forum’s theread. Don’t just simply go in and wrote something that is completely irrelevant. This will lead the forum moderator to delete your comment and in certain cases the moderator won’t mind of terminating your access to the forum. So,play it nicely.
In your comments, don’t try to use any kind of foul language and also don’t ever write a comment that personally attacks a person. This is also prohibited in most of the forums. In a nutshell, please read all the terms and conditions of the forum before you attempt to comment on anything.
OK, I hope today’s post of driving traffic via forum marketing will help you to drive targeted traffic to your site by forum posting. Please feel free to leave your comments. Talk to you soon. Thank you. May God Bless You & Your Loved Ones.

5 Easy Ways To Drive Traffic To Your Site
Hi Guys,
Hope you all are doing great. Today, I would like to discuss five easy ways to drive traffic to your site which could be either a website or even a business blog of yours or it could be any of your affiliate product’s site. However, let me warn you before you start using these 5 easy ways to drive traffic to your affiliate products site, please don’t send the traffic straight away to these affiliate products sites. If not, you could lose that traffic forever. First of all, try to capture their email address with free offers or try to lead them to a site where you can presell these affiliate products to your new potential customers. By this way, you are not going to lose your traffic forever and you can drive more traffic to your site without any hurdles in future.
#1 Start a blog
I know many of you have heard this millions of times. Yes, this is one of the powerful way to drive traffic to your site. Major Search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing always looking for fresh and relevant content to update in their site. Here, how the blogs work in to drive traffic to your site. No one can deny that blogging is the easiest way to add content on the go. Do you know how long it took me to write this article? Of course, it took me just around 30-40 minutes to write and publish it into my blog because of the flexibility of blogging. If you haven’t start building your blog, then I strongly suggest you to start one. If you need any help in building your first blog, then just contact me here.
#2 Write Articles
Another quality and completely free way to drive traffic to your site is by article writing. By writing and submitting articles to the top article directories like ezinearticles.com and goarticles.com is one of the most efficient and free way to get massive exposure to your site. However, you must use this method with great care. Before you are submitting your article to any article directory, please proof read it. Just make sure that your article is completely free from spelling and vocabulary errors. If not, misspelled words and unwanted vocabulary errors could kill your readers interest. So, please be careful while you are writing articles for marketing purposes. If you think you are not good at writing, just hire someone who could write it for you. You can find freelance writers here at elance.com and guru.com.
#3 Use the Advantage of Video Marketing
Do you know what is the hottest way to market anything in online now? Yes, it is none other than videos. Videos are the hottest way to drive traffic to your site. Through video marketing, people can see and hear you that you are a real person and someone who is serious about your business. So, don’t hesitate to use the video marketing. You can start doing this by using the completely free software, windows movie maker which comes together with windows based computers. However if you are serious about your video marketing and willing to spend a fortune on it, then I strongly suggest you to grab your own copy of Camtasia. Then, upload it to Youtube where millions of people are watching millions of videos. Alternatively, you could even upload your videos for completely FREE in TubeMogul where it enables you to automatically upload your video to more than one site at a time. Can you imagine what kind of massive amount of traffic your site could get all by with few clicks of the button? So, I suggest you to start creating your videos and post them via TubeMogul to get more traffic to your site.
4# Get Your Feet Into the Forums
Ok, I know some people would have advised you that forum marketing is a waste of time. But, trust me. This is another free way to drive traffic to your business site. By taking part actively in your business (niche) related forum, you can attract other participants to drop by at your business site. Another key element you must consider here is you must be able to deliver quality content and related services in the forum. This will make the forum readers to be curious in knowing about you and at the end they will be visiting your blog or website. If your blog and services are up to their expectations, these new visitors willingly will turn into your paid customers list. For instance you can check it out my friend Albert Hallado’s site here where he has successsfully turned most of his blog visitors into his paid customers.
5# Use the Power Of Social Networking Sites
This is one of my favourite method. Some people are still underestimating the power of Social Networking sites. Social Networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, FriendFeed and etc are currently having billions of people as their users. By implementing some simple techniques, you can drive massive amount of traffic to your business site. You could easily insert your website or blog url in your social networking site’s profiles. You also can use the little automation system where you can easily incorporate links of your blog within your facebook or friendfeed all with a push of button.
