Forums link building and promoting your website or blog

Forums are a great but basic way of learning from other people while also being able to pass on your own knowledge at the same time while also gaining back links and traffic in one hit, quite a easy way of promotion is it not?

The most common way of getting traffic is by using the signature options that most forums offer this day and age, but are you using this function to your full potential?

I often see members on lots of forums who simply have a signature with text links like “Get free Money” or “Check my Site” but do you think that anyone really does click a link lame anchor text? OK you might get the odd person but would you really want just the odd visitor when you could have hundreds? Think about it, keep it interesting and make them wonder what your site is about!

Avatars are a great way of free self-promotion as the saying goes “A picture says a 1000 words! – I find the simpler the better, don’t give to much away and remember it’s a advert and not a award winning oil painting, the most important part of using a avatar is to put your domain onto the avatar, unless your Nike or Microsoft nobody is going to know what your logo is!

Now for you bloggers out there, you may have noticed that a lot of forums using the vBulletin software allow you to insert your blog feed so every time you post to your blog the feed will be placed by your username on the forum, its important once again make your post titles interesting so people will have the urge to click to visit your blog or website. I have found many fantastic blogs as I have noticed the rss feed and paid a visit and even bookmarked plenty so take advantage of that option if you have it.

Another method I don’t really like but its there for the taking is to use your location for putting a link into, I’m not sure how successful this is to be honest as its not a link just text.

Now you have set up your blog feed, your avatar looks fantastic and your signature and short but stabby and interesting for your potential client, all you simply have to do now is keep your posts interesting and always be correct in what you way. The best way for promotion in a forum is to simply start threads more than you reply so you get more coverage but keep your threads better than anyone elses as once you get respect you will notice your traffic starting to creep up day by day.

So time for you guys to give some input.

How did you find this blog? Have you had much success in forum promotion?

I enjoy your feedback and comments so please please please do comment :)

So you want backlinks and to be indexed in less than 24 hours

Some of you may remember my article regarding getting indexed within 24hours using a hand full of websites while getting a few back links at the same time. I still find what I wrote quite usefull but I have found something that completely blows my previous article out of the water.

I was checking out digitalpoint freebies section and came across a post boasting about a new SEO script that will get you indexed within 24hours while getting your new domain backlinks from websites with pagerank 6 and upwards. The post also claimed that it can get back links in the thousands all with good pagerank. I read the post a couple of times thinking it was a load of crap like most of the rubbish that gets placed on the freebie section of digital point, after all it was claiming something it could give you something for nothing…………. Indexed, backlinks that are from high pageranked websites which of course can improve your own page-rank when Google decides to update itself… Sounds to good to be true does it not?

I thought ill give this magic script ago by using a domin that I wasnt to bothered if it got dropped or not so why not?

I checked out the website and gave it a go, you simply type in your domain and make sure you have “new browser” selected and set how many pop up(new windows) you want to open at the same time. I had opted for 50 windows to open to see what it does, this gets annoying as you really do get 50 windows open up with all these websites that you have just pinged but never mind that was my choice and wont do that again. You can select less windows to open or do it manually by just clicking the links but that will take hours to do as you can get 100s of websites queing to ping your website and some of them leave a record on their website so you can get a backlink also while using the tool…………….. quite handy hey?

I must admit it took me a while to work out how the tool would force a website to make a backlink on the “pinged” website but it works the same as princiable of my last article so overall it gets a 8/10 from me. The main downside to this tool is that the websites it pings are mainly Chinese but they do have alot of websites with good pagerank and they are not adult websites or warez websites so you are pretty much safe from having bad links to your new website. The developer of the website has stated he wanted to clean up alot of the websites that the scripts uses for pinging and getting backlinks so hopefully there will be more English websites.

Anyway, I tested the script on the domain that wasnt indexed and hasn’t been in use for at least 3 months. The domain was indexed pretty much in the 24th hour which i was quite suprised about but I have yet to check out the backlinks but I will edit this post once I have done a proper check as half the decent backlink counters on the Internet have stopped working.

I would be careful using this tool if you are planning to use a domain as a new business or website as it is quite new and I myself haven’t checked out the side affects of using this script, I will be checking the back-links very closely over the next couple of weeks while also giving the domain a few more blasts.

If you looking for a quick fix to getting your website indexed and have a few backlinks then this tool is most definatly the way to go!

What if I said I found a great backlink tool that is free?

On my internet travels I came across a website called EasySubmits which simply submits your domain name to about 200 directories(maybe more I didnt count) using your chosen keywords and meta tags and email of your choosing and then simply submits your website to them all.

I guess this is the bit where you think to yourself “directories are rubbish and a waste of time”?

Up to a point I agree with you, but you must remember that your website is nothing without real people viewing it. As a blog owner and web designer I have the ability to remember that page rank is not to the most important aspect to owning a website but getting a good amount of traffic is my aim.

There is no point in spending hours and hours submitting your website to directories only to find out that they will only add your links as and when they feel like it and you might think to yourself that Google doesn’t show all of the links that you submit BUT you will not see every single link but search engines do give you some credit for it and that adds up to page rank!

Something else to favour is that some of those directories are PR0 in most of the cases, but how do you know that those PR0 doesn’t  have a 1000hits a day ??

Anyway back to easysubmits and what it can do for you?

I think the name does exactly what it states in the tin, it submits your website with ease to a good amount of free directories in hardly anytime at all. When you first get onto the website you will find two things that are very strange indeed and that is that they do not use your email for sign ups, they don’t need email for mailing lists and they don’t charge anything at all.

Once you have opened your account, you will be greeted by a page with boxes that you simply enter your domain, keywords and title. I have found that it’s very much like the admin on wordpress or blogger so it’s very easy and once you have entered in your keywords you simply submit and that’s the page done.

Your next stage is clicking the directory list link, and you will find a simple page with a list of directories ranging from PR0 – PR3. Start from the top of the list and click the link of the directory and then simply fill out the captcha (that’s if the site needs it) and job done your website is submitted but be warned make sure you use a email that don’t mind getting spam to as some the of the directories do send spam.

From starting a account with easysubmit, it took me about 10minutes to submit to about 50 directories using this website. I have just checked (2days later) to see if any of the directories have approved my website and about 12 of the 50 have submitted by domain. Remember that these directorys have humans that approve so some can take days,weeks,months to get your link approved.

I have just done another 50 submits so I’m hoping that within another week that will 30-50 of the 100 submissions will be approved. This method is quick and easy and also has your links growing naturally and not all at the same time.

I must admit it’s not the most fun way due to filling out the odd captcha but this sure beats the likes of blog commenting software or finding directories then opening accounts over and over.
