How To Post At Forums - For Profit

Every day hundreds of thousands of people visit the online marketing forums and make postings.

Many are trying to promote their site - however their methods are so ineffective it is no wonder they complain that promotion via forums does not work for them.

But in truth you can get dozens if not hundreds of replies from a single posting - if you do it right.

Let's take a look at the various ways that people make postings, starting from the most unacceptable and ending with an entry which even the strictest forum moderator will enthusiastically approve.

Example 1:

Your post says

I've just found a really cheap web hosting company,
Fred

www.a101hosting.com/~2378

This is a blatant ad (spam) and will be removed.

Example 2:

You make a rather uninformative and vague announcement

Did you find that sales were down yesterday ?
Fred

Cheap web hosting
www.a101hosting.com/~2378

An obvious ploy to get your Url noticed.

Example 3:

You announce a useful piece of information

Important news from Google about a change to their ranking system. Read about it here _____
Fred

Cheap web hosting
www.a101hosting.com/~2378

Well now we are moving into the realms of acceptable postings, you have supplied good information BUT why would anyone want to click on that Url ?

They may just look at your signature to see who you are and what your site is about. But your post attracted them because it was about Google, why would they then be interested in cheap hosting ?
