? Become an active forum member

For some time now many internet marketers and even some offline business types have being freely availing of the power of online forums to generate website traffic to their sites, products and stores at no cost. But precisely how can you start taking advantage of this fact to send more targeted sales traffic to your sites and products?

Regardless of the area of interest in question most people love to interact with other like minded people who share their pastimes, passions or interests and this is precisely what takes place on online forums all the time. Using forums provides you with a ready made targeted audience/market in whatever interest area you choose, a market to which you can instantly advertise your products and services which will be directly related to the subject material of the forum concerned and therefore directly related to the interests of the forum users in question. The best part is that this can all be done for free!

Yes this can all be achieved for free but you will need to spend a little time and effort to reap the dividends. Once you accept this and begin to put the time required in you will begin to benefit in a couple of very important ways whilst continually increasing your website traffic as you go.

What to do and how to do it!

The first thing you must do is to find and join forums relating to the products and services you're promoting. If you find many different forums relating to your area of interest you should spend a little time to assess the quality of each,the quantity of posts and how regularly they're responded to etc. Everything else being equal, the more active the forum, the more potential customers you'll be able to connect withand ultimately the more profitable your time will be. If time constraints are not an issue for you at the moment you can always join numerous different forums and stick with the ones that prove to be better source of traffic for your sites and products.

The most important thing now is to show a little patience, you can't expect to benefit before you've put some time and effort in. In the beginning you should focus simply on genuinely contributing to the best of your ability. Take part in the discussions, answer questionswere possible, post relevent and genuinely helpful advice, suggestions and tips and generally try to make yourself useful and valued. You should try not to view every post you make as a chance to advertise your wares. To blatantly promote your products or services within the body of your posts is usually frowned upon and will most likely see your posts deleted and your account suspended. Ensure you do not fall into doing this. To be absolutely clear, do not go placing links and sales pitches to your sites and products within the body of the posts themselves

What can i do and how does it help me?

First up, you will absolutely increase targeted website traffic to your product or site. Whilst putting links within the body of a post is usually not allowed, you are generally permitted a link within the signature line which will be attached under each of your posts. Some peoplewill just check your linksout of pure curiosity. What's most important however is that those you interact with, help or even just respond to will be significantly more likely to click through your links and also much more likely to purchase from you or sign up to your list etc. Those who have become familiar with you or who have come to appreciate or respect your contributions may even direct other to your threads and posts or even directly to your links. After a while this can become a very powerful way of driving both targeted and more importantly trusting customers to your sites and products. The fact that you haven't tried to sell can be a real advantage here, as people generally don't like to perceive they're being sold to.

Whilst not necessarily as immediately obvious, you will benefit in other ways. Forums will provide you with information that will allow you to make your products more attractive and purchasable to those potentially interested in them. In short, you'll come to understand what they (your potential customers) are looking for and you'll then learn how to best pitch to them. Keep posting and reading and you will discover forums an invaluable source of free and very useful information not to mention a super way to continually increase targeted website traffic to your products,sites and services as you go.

At first it may seem like somewhat of a slow starter but it won't take long before you'll notice you're getting more and more traffic,with greatly improved conversion rates.
