Few of them is&nbsp; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arhixe.com\/?p=80\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">list of dofollow forums<\/a>&nbsp;  Forums are a somewhat labor intensive but highly effective way to  increase traffic and bring engaged visitors to your website or blog.&nbsp;  While search traffic is more likely to click ads, forum traffic will  leave you comments and buy your products.&nbsp; However if you go about using  forums wrong, you will do more harm than good to your site.<\/p>\n<div><b>Shopping for a Forum<\/b><\/div>\n<p>Not all forums are created equal.&nbsp; Some are small highly targeted  affairs while others are large forums with very broad topics.&nbsp; Some  forums are pro-business and welcome a little self promotion (Warrior  Forums is a good example) while other forums are communistic affairs  that boot anyone who even breaths about their business online.<br \/>You will be making a serious commitment to any forum you plan to use  for promotion, so shop like you would for a long term  girlfriend\/boyfriend.&nbsp; Each forum develops a personality of its own so  you and the forum better match up in style, interests, and approach to  life.&nbsp; If there is not a good match you will be frustrated and the  promotion will fail.<br \/>Search \u201cniche +forum\u201d to identify possible candidates to join.<\/p>\n<div><b>Use Your Profile<\/b><\/div>\n<p>Choose an appropriate non-offensive but memorable user name and fill  out your profile with some reasonable detail.&nbsp; Do not include AIM and  Yahoo profile links \u2013 only spammers do that.&nbsp; Do include a link to your  main website if there is a spot for it.&nbsp; Look around at how much detail  some of the forum thought leaders put in for a guide.<\/p>\n<div><b>Use Your Signature<\/b><\/div>\n<p>If the forum allows signatures definitely put an anchored link into  your signature.&nbsp; Be sure you understand the forum policies on signatures  first though so you do not make enemies with the management. &nbsp;If in  doubt, ask first by private message.<\/p>\n<div><b>Start and Respond to Topics<\/b><\/div>\n<p>Regularly visit the forum, starting good topics and making  intelligent comments.&nbsp; Where it fits well into the conversation drop in  the occasional anchored link to your blog, but make sure you are not  offensive or off topic.<br \/>Don\u2019t always link to your stuff, link to other interesting resources  too.&nbsp; Score big points by posting appropriate links to the blogs of the  forum thought leaders and up and coming members.&nbsp; Others might even  reciprocate (but NEVER ask them too).<br \/>If you blog, occasionally you can write a killer post with a little  controversy.&nbsp; Post a summary and link to the forum as a new thread,  asking others what they think.&nbsp; Say something like \u201cIf I got this wrong  please let me know\u201c.&nbsp; Participate in the resulting discussion, but not  too much since your comments can end the discussion if everyone thinks  you have your answer now.&nbsp; This technique can be very effective to bring  in traffic to your blog posts.<\/p>\n<div><b>Be Engaging to Engage Others<\/b><\/div>\n<p>Forget using a forum to promote yourself unless you are prepared to  come to the forum regularly and contribute.&nbsp; As a regular poster you  will develop trust and make friends who will engage with you in your  business, blog or websites.&nbsp; As a rare poster you will be considered a  lousy drive-by spammer worthy only of being banned. <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have already covered few topics on promoting a blog via forum.
