If this is your case, my friend, you are losing a lot of potential free traffic to your site. It doesn't matter what you sell or promote on line, if you are not using forums regularly, then you are throwing money on the wind.

You may have heard a lot of blah blah about forum marketing, but in fact, the basics are quite common sense and easy to apply. Before I go on, however, I must say I don't agree in any way with using forums to spit up hordes of ads, or to practice awful spam.

A forum or discussion board should be a place to get along with others, communicate, interact, learn, and be helpful. Believe me, following these guidelines is the best you can do for your forum marketing.

The first thing to do when you have something to offer to the world is look up for forums related to your topic and niche. The most specialized, the better. Do I have to say the best place to look is through a Google search? ("your topic" forum).

Register, browse around and

In most forums you are allowed to include a signature file, this is, a few lines about you or your business... and yes, a link (make it your sales page or newsletter sign up). Whenever you post, your signature file follows, giving you free exposure to your product...

If you establish yourself as a helpful guy or gal, you will get traffic to your site from people who think you can help them. You will also increase your link popularity and chances that a search engine will find your site. Most forums keep a huge archive of their threads on line.

This works wonders, specially when you don't have a single red cent to spend.

To your wild success,
