Using Viral Forum Marketing
Forums are an excellent way to spread the word about your website or product. If you were to do it correctly, not only will you get viral traffic but you might cultivate beneficial relationships with other forum members.
This does not mean that the moment you have built a new website or written a new ebook that you should immediately hit each and every forum you possibly can and ask all the people to come look at your new site or tell them how great your new ebook is. That is not the right approach.
You have to join the correct forum that is related to your website or product. Looking for forums is easy - just go to your search engine and do a search. Every forum has rules - read them, become familiar with them and be sure to abide by them.
When you join a forum, other than looking for one that is relevant to your website or product, there are also a few factors to take note. You have to see how many members there are, how busy the forum is, is it a place where you could usefully contribute to.
Another important point to take note is whether the forum allows you to use signatures. Signatures are like a short description of yourself or your product. Some forums allow links to be included in your signatures.
Therefore, whenever you contribute a post or comment, your signature will appear below your contribution. When people read about your writing, they will also see your signature. If your signature contains link, they might click and be brought to your website.
The key is to create a forum signature which people will click on. My suggestion is to keep it short, entice readers with a reason and have a call-to-action.
Viral forum marketing is a powerful but often overlooked tool for website promotion purposes.
