Increase Website Traffic by using Top Webmaster Forums

Filed Under (Marketing, Promotion) by admin on 24-09-2008

Some people think creating solid traffic from webmaster communities is easy but in all reality this task can be very difficult. The first thing we need to do is ensure the webmaster forum is on target to our purpose and has the correct forum categories for us to take advantage of! What we want to look for on these webmaster forums are categories that will allow us to use the service available inside the forums while also advertising the website url without being  a spammer. The line that separates a spammer from an online marketer is extremely fine so let’s make sure you don’t create a bad name for yourself by following the example I share very closely.

The named forums below will offer many online marketing opportunities for your company or website! The best part about these options is the concept is allowed and not considered as spam. Let’s take a moment and break down these specific forums to explain and give an example of how we can market our website inside these forums.

Website Review Forums – Website reviews are perfect ways to jump start the traffic flow to your website. At this point you should be creating a basic template for a Website review request which can be used with little change at all the webmaster forums your sign up at. Don’t forget in this process you should include a website url to the website under review. If you want to be very specific you can ask for reviews on multiple pages which have minor differences in design and or reasoning.

Domain Name Appraisal Forums – Another great reason to post a website url. Simply ask the members to appraise the domain name and when adding a live link 99% of the time they will also visit your website! Trust me add the link these guys giving free review are deadly bored think about the service there offering for free! Use a similar script as mentioned in the above paragraph and make minor changes for each forum.

Buy, Sell or Trade Forums – The mother of all examples is this amazing forum. It’s like a free ticket to extremely exploit your website url with so many different way to do so. The best thing about the Buy, Sell or Trade Forums is they normally have about 10 other forums inside them. The sub forums you should be looking for include the following and sometimes you might have reasoning for the rest but normally these are great forums to start with,

Freebies - If you are offering any sort of free services or products (or seeking them), this is the only place those offers should be posted. Remember to always add your url when offering these services especially if it involves your website.
Content - Users buying and selling content (including databases) can conduct business here. This is another forum you should be adding your url too and again especially if it’s pertaining to your website!

Templates - Post your url when asking for custom or free template! Make sure the members know what website you are looking to replace the current template on.

Services – Offering free services on your website? This is the forum you should be posting inside. Always add the url where the free services are located allowing you to gain another back link and increased traffic.

Link Exchange – This is another great way to get a back link. Post your url and offer a link exchange with other webmaster forum members. This will generate a nice wave of website traffic as all people willing to link exchange will want to see the website there dealing with.

Link Sales -  Selling links from your website? Have an empty sidebar you don’t know what to do with? Again this is another forum for yet another back link. Post your website url and sell your link spots!

Contests
– Everyone loves contests but we can’t join if we don’t know what website is offering the contest so yup, another back link opportunity! Post your website url and tell all webmaster about this awesome contest!

I know sometimes marketing your website and or blog can become overwhelming but don’t give up! Some webmasters will make it difficult by posting silly replies to your forum topics but work with it and over come these situations. If you need examples of some Top Webmaster Forums visit that link and you will have a great start and maybe even a successful website to boot!

Cheers,

I have some good advice I would like to share on how to develop website traffic and new users! I have a few ways and I’ll try and share them all. First you will need to ensure your forums are in perfect working order as you don’t want this new traffic to see a non working forum. Make sure you have the forums set up correctly and also in a non confusing way. Here are some ways to generate and develop new members/users.

#1- Start using Stumble Upon. This site can develop very good traffic for your website but ensure it good content as they will ban you for stumbling your forum names and not topics.

#2- Start Submitting your Forums to Link Directories. Ensure you provide enough information when submitting that you gain the interest of the reader and also ensure you add it to the correct category. Very Important!

#3- Sign up at large forums and immediately (if you can) set your forums signature with a unique tag line linking to your forums.

#4- Try and add quality posts when at other forums. I know this is hard sometimes and doesn’t have to be done all the time. Usually the more specific your answer is the better chance you have of someone actually clicking your signature links.

$5- Purchase forum signature when allowed. Many forums allow their users to sell their forums signature this can also help you develop traffic especially if they are a heavy poster.

#6- Pay for Bloggers to Blog about your site and a “web site Review” These usually cost money but are worth the 10 dollars. (Average price)

#7- Purchase Blog Roll links from Blogger when you can. This is a great form of traffic and you can really focus on your specific target market! I mean if your forums are about Sports look for a Blog site that’s about sports.

I hope this helps your forums develop and build traffic to your site. If you have any more question please feel free to ask away I’m pretty good a marketing websites!

I wanted to add some great Google search terms if you going to look for forums and blogs links to buy. just Google these simple terms

-Links Exchange

-Blog Roll links

-Free link submission

-Buy Trade or Sell Forums

-Advertising Forums

-Link Dirrectories

As you can see searching terms like these will get you access to forums that in the end will result in increase traffic and new members!

SEO and Marketing for your website!

In this Blog I would like to discuss the relevance of SEO and Marketing when you’re a website owner! First let’s have a look at the marketing aspect to better understand how it’s involved with Search Engine Optimization. When marketing your website you should have specific terms or wording in which you will be using to generate traffic via Search Engines. If you’re running an arcade gaming site you might want to use words such as “Flash Games”, “Arcade Games”, “Free Arcade Games”, or “Play Free Arcade Games”. The reasoning behind this it to ensure you get the most targeted traffic from Search Engine results. Search Engines such as google.com yahoo.com and yawoop.com You don’t want visitors coming to your site via search results with needs that aren’t relevant to what you have to offer. So when Marketing find the need and with the correct terminology, SEO will help you fill it!

I added my link to yawoop games here because I know from having the above terminology in this post it will eventually generate traffic from search engines when people are searching for these specific words.

When you’re posting in your favorite forums ensure you’re using the same terminology, especially if it’s a popular and well SEO’d website. People will find these forums in popular search engines when searching these terms. From the forum post they will be directed to your site from signature links and or avatar ads. Proper marketing will ensure that you have the correct understanding of your website and therefore using targeted, specific terminology, search engine optimization marketing.

So to rap us this little lesson I have a quiz for you all and yes feel free to see if you can seomkt the following websites correctly.
