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.
