Chats and Forums

If you are looking for an affordable way to drive traffic to your site, getting active on forums help. I don't mean getting active as in search forums on search engines, register for an account, post an ad about your site, and never go back to that forum again. Not only will your posts be considered as SPAM and get deleted by admin, you will maybe receive 1 or 2 visitors from that one ad post if you are lucky before admin finds the posts for deletion. If you want to take full advantage of forums to get your site exposed to active members of that particular forum that you are in, find a couple of busy forums that interests you and where members talk about topics that are relevant to what you do on the internet. You will get to read questions posted by ones that are new to internet business, and if you've ran your business for a while, you may be able to help by responding to those posts with your personal experiences and some information that may help them further. The more active you get with posting and helping others, the more exposure your site will get. How? Each registered member are allowed to create their own signature which is shown every time you make a post. Although you are not allowed to advertise your site directly, intentionally, you are allowed to have a link as part of your signature that will direct interested readers to your site. Of course, you can be the one asking questions as well. I'm sure that you will appreciate answers to your questions and maybe check out what the responder's site is like, if he/she has a link as his/her signature. That's how people will visit your site. If you are willing to help answer people's questions and give them tips and suggestions, interested viewers will read your post and would like to know what sort of business you do on the web. With the willingness to help others who are in need of help with their online business, you will receive their attention and appreciation - sort of like a win-win situation to me. What goes around, comes around.
