The answer is no, not necessarily that the more traffic you get the better. It depends on what kind of website that you have. If you want to make money from pay per click ads, then of course the more traffic you can generate the better. But the quality of the traffic also matters, the more targeted traffic, the more click through you can get.

What if you have a website for affiliate programs? Do you prefer to have 10,000 traffic but only two sales or do you prefer to have 5,000 traffic with 5 sales?

How to Drive Traffic Using Forums

Tag: Traffic GenerationShawn Lim @ 10:04 pm


Here, I will assume we all have the same dreams and goals, that is to make money online. Therefore, you need to have a blog or a website (you must know email marketing or affiliate marketing if you don’t want to have website), if you don’t have, then learn to build one. It is easy to build a website now, because you does not require you to know about HTML or CSS. Traffic is the vein of our money generator, without traffic, it’s useless to have a website, because it will become just like a ‘ghost town’.

There are many ways to boost your website traffic. One of them is using Forum. How can we boost traffic by using forum? I believe you know how right? It is simple, it is easy. In fact, you can even use forum to as a tool to recruit partners or downlines. There are basically two ways to boost your traffic in forum.

  1. Post in opportunity or advertising section of a forum
  2. Advertise through signature and participate in thread discussion

Most of the forums out there have an opportunity or advertising section. By posting in these section, you can get some traffic. Although this section is not very popular for visitors, but you can still gain some traffic here. Just post with an interesting and attractive title. Well, if you have an affiliate website, maybe you could write something sounds ‘Get $100 now! All you need to do is just follow 3 Easy steps! Everyone can do it!

The more popular way is to advertise through signature. But you need to know this, not all forum allow signature or active links in your signature. Some may need you to have some minimum posts before you can start using your signature. You will need to post regularly in forums, and please don’t spam the forum, you’ll get banned. Don’t just post for the sake of it only, post something quality, give your opinion and discuss an issue properly. We’re building business for the long term, so don’t spam and run away.

Be sure to fill in all your profile and put a picture of yours before start your forum campaign. Let visitors know more about you. Couple of days or even hours after your post, you can ‘bump’ your thread back to the top. How much traffic you can boost with forums depend on how famous that forum is. If the forum has a big community, then the traffic you can boost will be higher. You can also set up your own review page about yourself. There, you can put links to your landing page, which is hard to be tracked by administrators (This is sometimes to avoid your affiliate id been removed but this rarely happen except you’ve done something terrible). In addition, you can place banner link to attract visitors as well, only if the forum provide this widget.

You can also give private message to the readers from the topic which suits you. But you must always keep yourself low, so that you won’t get desserted by the forum community. Well, here are some webmaster forums for you :

Digital Point
Webmaster World
The v7 Network
Webmaster-Talk
The Webmaster Forum
Conquer Your Niche
Affiliates4u
SiteOwners
iWebTool Talk
Associate Marketin Forum
AKA Marketing
Internet Marketing Forums
Nepali Community - xNepali

These are just some of the forums in cyberspace. There are many more others. I hope that these information will help you boosting your traffic.

  2. Ezine publishers might add your site as their favourite, because your site will become one of their content resource.
  3. Webmasters might put links to your articles in their website.
