If you’re not using forums to attract targeted traffic to your website, then you’re missing out on one of the easiest ways to generate free, instant and targeted traffic to your website.
What I like most about this technique is that if you do it well, you can see results within minutes. Yes you can generate free traffic to your site in the next few minutes by using the tips I’m sharing here. I receive about 5,000 visitors to my website every month from forums alone so I know it can be done.
The first thing you should do is to find a forum related to your niche. If your website is about football, then you should search for football forums on Google. If it is about university students, do a search on it and you’ll find a few busy forums.
The next thing you should do is register. Register with a user name you’ll like to brand. It could be your full name, the main word in your url, your website nickname or what have you. Then create a signature file that will link back to your website.
Next, begin to post answers to questions people ask. Be careful when you do this. Make sure you answer only questions you’re absolutely sure of or you’ll make a nuisance out of yourself. Refer to your website if it will buttress your answer.
Post as often as possible in different forums and you’ll soon have a big number of posts. People tend to respect people that have lots of posts more than those with few posts. They tend to see them as experts.
Lastly, never directly advertise your website no matter how tempting it is. You’ll be labeled a spammer. Make reference to your website only when it’s necessary.
Help solve people’s problems and naturally, people will click on the link on your signature file.
Now go out there and grab the traffic from forums.
