How to Use Forums to Drive Laser Targeted Traffíc to Your Site in 7 Steps




Article By Iyabo Oyawale (c) 2008
reposted from an email newsletter

There is no doubt about the fact that Forum posting works when it comes to driving traffic to a site. On many occasions, I have successfully used posting to forums to gain exposure to my affiliate landing page, squeeze page, sales page, etc.

I tell you, if you're really smart, the goal of every forum post you make is to get as many people to subscribe to your líst! Posting to forums is a very fast and powerful way to build your base of subscribers in as little as 30 minutes. Below is a step-by-step guide:

Step 1 - Find Forums About Your Niche Very Easily

Just Google the following:

+"your niche" +forum
or
+"your niche" +"discussion board"

For instance, if I am looking for Forums in the Internet Marketing field, I type +"Internet Marketing" +forum. The results show the top Internet marketing Forums such as:

www.im4newbies.com/forum
www.warriorforum.com
www.forums.digitalpoint.com

Step 2 - Join the Forums and Set Up Your Signature

Remember to include your website address in your signature. Signature is another name for your resource box. Your resource box is just like an 'about the author info'. This appears at the end of every post you make and drives traffic to your website.

Step 3 - Read the Rules and Regulations of the Forum Before Posting

This ensures that your posts are not deleted by the Administrators of the Forum. Now, don't go about spamming all members of the Forum with your website advert. In fact, I will advise you not to post an obvious ad. It's a pure waste of time because it will be deleted.

So, what's next?

Step 4 - Ask for Input

Approach from a weak man's position. Assuming you've written an article on your site entitled "13 Ways to Drive Traffic to a New Site." You could make a post asking folks to check out the article and see if you missed anything. Or you can ask for additional points to add to your article. Of course you'll have your opt ín box at the end of the article with a compelling offering.

Let's say you've written an article on meeting the right partner. You could post a message like this: "If you had a chance to learn how to meet your right partner now, what would you do?"

It's a great way to get the attention of forum members to your article. You also get them engaged in the article by asking for their input. And who knows, you may also get other publishers who would use your content in their ezines, thereby getting more exposure for your site.

New Look

You might have notice that My Random Thoughts is sporting a new look. Well, there are several factors why I did some "modifications".

The last design was only looking good when view on 1024x768 monitor but since I have a wide screen monitor at the office (1360x768) the blog has no designs after the custom background graphics that I made so I change it into a dark, pattern background graphic . Also I removed some of the blog directories and other widgets that are not useful for me anymore.

With these modification, the blog now loads faster than before. I'm doing this because I wanna increase the blog's traffic but before I do that, I wanna improve the blog's loading time and of course the content.

Loving Google Reader

Google Reader
Ever since that I used Google Reader to read some of the new updates from my favorite blogs and websites, I have have no trouble managing my browser windows since I can read all the updates on the Google reader itself. The using Google's very own web Chrome browser, reading is much faster.

Saturday Night Blog: Preparations for Baby's 1st Birthday




I's been a while since my last post because of my hectic work and also my wife and I are also preparing for baby's 1st birthday party. Finally able to find a nice venue (I'll keep mum of this for now so not to spoil those who will be given invitation cards). But it would be a "merienda" affair.

Next on our agenda will be the balloons and backdraft, the cake, the give-aways and of course the aforementioned invitations cards. That is all for now.

No Sweat

Today's miracle sweat-wicking micro-fibers hide a dirty little secret that serious athletes know about. They're great at wicking away moisture. But they embed perspiration residue deep into the fabric. The result: musty, stubborn sweat odors that linger no matter how hard you try to get them out.
