Forum marketing is when you engage in the conversations inside active forums and contribute valuable and useful content to the discussions taking place, you include your tag line and your link in your signature that will appear at the bottom of each post you make. And people that liked what you had to say will check out your link to see if there is any more information. What Other Benefits Are There? Product awareness - the next time they find that they need the product or service that you offer then they will come to you as you will already have a level of trust with them. Anchor Text You can get a search engine optimization benefit out of it too as you are able to choose the anchor text that you would like to display, which can re-enforce the keywords you wish to rank for.
