Promoting Your Website Using Forums

forum to forum, but your profile normally has place to enter a forum ‘signature’ or your site address. A signature is tagged onto the end of every message you post on the discussion board and is the best way of promoting your site on message boards. In the signature field you should put a link to your website. If there is a site address field on your profile, then fill that out too.

Note: Some forums require you to have posted a minimum amount of times before you can add a signature. If this is the case, then just read on and come back to this step later.

It’s time to get posting. Remember, do not spam. Never spam. You’ll get kicked off or banned, and then you have wasted all of your time. Make intelligent posts, and hopefully if you have chosen a related discussion board, you’ll know the topic pretty well. Don’t focus on advertisement at the moment, just answer questions, post comments, anything to try and get up your reputation. If you have already got a signature, then that should show up at the end of each of your posts which counts as a link back to your site each time. If you have yet to get a signature because of minimum post requirements, fill it in when you have reached that number of posts.

If you are stumped choosing a discussion board, then I would recommend you check out DigitalPoint. You can get a lot of traffic through this site and it is very valued in the search engine’s eyes.

Here are a list of forum dos and don’ts:

Do…

Add a link to your website in your signature
Post informative/intelligent comments
Visit the community forum often

Don’t…

Sound artificial/promotional in your comments
Add a link to your website and then disappear
Be inactive on the discussion board

If you have the time, sign up to more than one discussion forum so that you get more chances of getting traffic and backlinks. Post on your chosen forum(s) often, and each time you will get an extra backlink with your post. Also, try and get a good reputation by making informative posts, as this will make people want to check out your website. Always remember, to be successful, promote your site in other ways as well as discussion forums, such as submitting it to web directories such as Best Professional Website Directory. I wish you the best of luck and happy posting!
