Probably most people are going to forums for the sake of networking. The truth is that it does end up being a really good place to get additional ideas on how to run a decent business. An added bonus is that others may visit your site out of interest.

I have quite a number of forums bookmarked and I try to post in a few every day. I get good traffic from the forums that I am quite active in.

I am new to forums, but have spent a long time in the work at home biz. Any advice on how many forums I should be visiting daily to generate a good amount of traffic?

I believe the forums do help create traffic on people's websites... I have only been a member here for a short while and I have been to a hundred new websites just from them being in the forums... I am sure there are other ways though that will help a lot more..

It's not the quantity but quality that counts. And by quality I mean both - the quality of your posts and the quality of the forum. If you post just for the sake of posting, to gain exposure for your website, you are missing the target entirely. Strange it may sound but readers can very easily make out the knowledge and enthusiasm of the poster by reading his posts. Please read the below thread:
Get leads by posting in forums?

I get a significant amount of traffic from this forum through my signature. In fact as I'm looking at my analytical tracking right now I see that this forum is bringing me about 20% of my overall traffic compared to my advertising campaigns. Not bad at all.
But although I appreciate the hits, I really don't expect it to push me over the top. As much as I like posting, I equally love reading and learning about more stuff. And you're right Vishal.... it is about the "quality" of your posts that really sets you apart.
I just made another sale today from a prospect that visited my site through my signature. And I highly doubt it was because he looked at how many posts I made. I'd like to think it was because I built some credibility with him through one or several of my postings.

I was introduced to this forum by my Director and I'm glad I'm here.
Not only for the self-promotion part - which is a good thing because if we don't do it ourselves who the heck will?? - but also for what I learn from reading other posts.
Thanks to everyone for your contribution!

Forum posting can be a great way to get more traffic to your website / blog. There are many other ways to as well.
I would say to not just do strictly forum posting, but start a blog if you have not allready.

I am impressed. How many forums are you posting to per day? I have never considered forums as a traffic source. Normally I just search them for answers to questions I might have.

These forums are definetly a great way to get your name out there. Its also a great way to showcase you knowledge and experience gained from being in free enterprise.
With that in mind its very important to never limit yourself to one particular avenue of advertising. You need to explore as amny avenues available to you in order truely pinpoint which ones are the most effective based on what you have to offer. You have to find your niche when it comes to the most effective way of marketing, advertising and promoting your business service or product.
That only comes from having experience in more than one area. Never forget about the 80/20 rule. You don't want to waste or spend too much time in the wrong areas, when you could really be capitalizing in others.

I know it is a great way to get traffic to your site, but it also a great way to learn more about your own business and get questions answered and also how people do their business. I have learned alot by reading in this forum. Everyone has a different way fo doing things--no wrong way or right way. Great learning!

I think the best thing about forum posting is meeting REAL people..the Internets kinda lonely without forums and social networking sites..so it's not merely about driving traffic or getting a link back..even though that's nice..

Forum posting is new to me but I understand that it can be very successful.
I believe that it should be one arm of your marketing approach. The more marketing techniques that you use and test , the greater your chance for success.
Thank you for sharing that you are spending two hours a day on this technique. From what I have read (but not experienced as yet) it can be very successful.
To your success,
John

I think forum posting could indeed help in traffic accumulation at the same time back links as well. At the same time it could drive more members in your forum too.

Seems like posting in forums works well but what about other ways to gain traffic such as trafficswarm or traffic signups. I have my doubts that forum posting is the best.

There are some really good strategies here that people are giving out! I really thing that forum posting is a great way for driving traffic and gaining backlinks! I might also suggest that article marketing is another effective way to drive traffic and also to gain great backlinks! These methods of Traffic generating and creating backlinks have worked well for me.

I built an article writing company strictly from posting in forums and writing and submitting articles. When you stick with it you can get great traffic from forums.

I'm new to everything (forums, chats, internet marketing) and I came to the forum to get advice and tips on how to make money or work at home. I started creating a website but haven't really advertised it until today. I think I'm almost finished. I would like to add more my website because it just seems so plain. Oh well... it's a start.

I know what you mean 4u2nv
I have only been here for a few weeks..
I'm also in the process of setting up my own website..(not happy with it yet so its not on my sig line.. )
But it is taking lots of work.. I'm using it as a learning tool.. along with a few other things... anyway, good luck with your new site..
As for forum posting...as a way to get traffic..?
Like I said forum posting is relatively new to me.. I have been reading more than posting.. i try to contribute.. though my knowledge is scant compared to some here.. but whatever line of work you are in I think it is good to listen to those new to the 'job' as even if you are experienced in your chosen field it is refreshing to have new eyes and questions analysing how you work.. at least I think so.. In my 'proper' job I work a lot with student nurses.. as I have been around a long time! They keep me on my toes.. and even though sometimes their enthusiasm and energy are a bit daunting I do enjoy it!
Not too sure if I wandered off the point there...? mm bin a loooong day...

I personally find that following a proven system and utilizing the knowledge of my very successful mentors are key. It reduces the learning curve dramatically, and you won't waste your time trying things that may not be effective. Follow what has already worked!
