Just want to inform about the advantages of using forums. Generally right now forums are becoming an excellent way of attaining targeted traffic. Don't try to participate in forums which will give you money for participation. Generally many try to use those forums and find that they are not getting any benefits from forums. We have to try to work on forums which are containing genuine traffic and the people who are really in your niche. So first of all you need to search for forums on your niche and then for the first 7 days participate actively on those forums. Do not add any links in your signature and try to respond to others discussions. Once after completing 7 days, you can add the signature link. You should not spam the forums with your site link in your signature. The main advantage of using forums is those who read your replies to the posts, will visit the link in signatures if your reply is generally good. Generally right now on the Internet there are many top forums which will be getting loads of traffic daily. So the moderators will be very strict and if they find that you are not obeying their rules then they are going to ban you. Also if you are not really helping others on the forum and if the members come to know that you are here just for advertising your links then no body will show interest on your replies and you start loosing your rating. Another advantage of using forums is, some forums do not use "nofollow" attribute for the links. So you will get good number of back links and technorati rank. Also right now on the internet approx. 2% members are using ALEXA toolbar.

Nice tips here. I also made a similar post more than a month ago and some of your tips were included.

However, I would like to add something about building reputation - Be a good Samaritan and do not be greedy in posting.

great idea. as lintek said, having something informative to post about does help. Same goes for posting something useful in comments on other blogs and sites. Both get eyeballs on your blog.

Key thing is to follow that up with a review of your site logs to see if a site or forum generates traffic. Good way to determine if its worth spending time in one forum over another.

Nice post. Forums could be excellent source of traffic if we post there. Spamming of course is not one of them. Doing informative posts would build a reputation and thus bring in new traffic.

Nice post indeed, great way to boost your traffic!...
