How to Use Forums to Gain Traffic to Your Website


Forum marketing is a very important strategy that many internet marketers have to use in their internet marketing career. Many have succeeded in driving traffic to their websites by using forums and it has proven to give very targeted and useful visitors. However, on the other hand, many internet marketers overlook this area of marketing as it takes time and effort to build their credibility in the forums. Just follow these few steps that I am going to teach you and be ready to have a high flow of visitors from the forums that you visit.

The first step for every marketer in forum marketing is to target the right forums. The forum that you target must be in your own niche. If it is not in the same niche as yours, you will be bringing irrelevant visitors to your websites and therefore less conversions would be made. Forums must also have high activity and well populated. If it is not well populated, it is as good as finding people in a dead town. Your efforts to bring in traffic would then be wasted.

After targeting forums in your niche, you must seek to build your credibility in the forums. You should first register in the forum with your real name as you will want to build a brand with your name. Having nicknames would not be good to build credibility as people will not take you seriously. Next, you should find questions in threads. Do make sure that you answer these questions properly and do not simply give advice. You will want to make sure these people start trusting you and know that you give good advice. Building this foundation of credibility is very important and putting in effort here would be crucial in your forum marketing strategy.

Once your credibility has been built, you would want to put your website links in your signature. You should put eye-catching phrases about your site and change the color of the font so that people will look at it. A good catch phrase would increase your click through rates to your website. You should continue to post and answer the questions many people ask as the more questions your answer the more times your signature is posted up. This would then expose your website links to more people in the forum and therefore increase more chances of visitors entering your website.

Forum marketing is a very simple way of marketing. Although it can be tedious and mundane, you can reap a huge amount of rewards when you have build your credibility.
