Forum Advertising - Tips/Tricks

Here are some top tips to get the most views of your forum adverts. Feel free to add your own tips, by leaving a comment.

1 Always have a good subject line. This is what people see first! Offering a service in the subject line will attract attention - eg. "Add your link to my website."

2 Posting at smaller forums will get your adverts MORE views per ad than at larger forums! This is because your ads stay in view for much longer!

3 At the end of your post, place a "P.S." with a sentence such as."P.S. Visit now, as this offer is only available for a short time"

4 Make use of your signature! Not only will it get you more traffic, it will increase the number of links pointing towards your websites! Tips to writing a good signature can be found here.

5 Replying to your own message will put your post top of the list again. Some forums don't allow repeating a message, but you can get around this by posting "updates."

6 Start a forum of your own! As the admin, you can set your ads as stickies or announcements - your ads will appear above everyone else's - therefore getting a lot more views.

7 Make use of your control panel. This makes updating your threads easily. Simply click on "subscribed threads" or "view your posts" - depending on the forum.

Signature Advertising in a forum

When you sign up to a forum, the first thing you should do is create a signature. This will gain you free traffic just for participating in a conversation.

Keeping it simple works just as well as something more elaborate. My current signature at Digital Point is....

Homepage http://www.make-money-online-uk.net/
SEO Helpdesk http://free-seo-helpdesk.blogspot.com/
Football Forum - Watch Live Football for FREE http://premier-league.110mb.com/forum/

It's just a simple 3 lined signature, but it works well.
