Traffic from Forums

7. Forum Marketing

Forums are another way to drive targeted visitors to your website.
The key to getting quality traffic from forums is to find a forum
that is highly targeted to your website, become involved in the
community, and create a benefit-laden signature.

You can put a link back to your website in your signature. It's
critical that you use your signature to provide something of
extreme value along with a good call-to-action. Otherwise, why
would anybody click?

The biggest benefit of marketing in forums is that they are centered
around a very tight group of people who are all interested in the
same subject. This is essentially a community of raving fans for a
particular topic, making them extremely targeted prospects.

Forums are also an excellent way to connect with other bloggers,
meet other marketers, and gain insights into your market.
