			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Forums can be a very very good source of really targetted traffic however unfortunatly not all niches have forums for that exact niche, you have to instead look at the broader spectrum!</strong><strong><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 5px solid white; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="Forum Traffic Generation" src="http://everystockphoto.s3.amazonaws.com/travel_traffic_newyorkcity_379994_l.jpg" alt="" width="364" height="256" /></strong></p>
<p>For example&#8230; take the penis enlargement niche!</p>
<p>There are no or very few forums that are not spammed to death by people promoting competiting products for penis enlargement but if we look at clickbank and their top selling products then you will see the penis enlargement ebook is a fantastic seller!</p>
<p>So where do we look?</p>
<p>As i said before you need to look further&#8230; thing of penis enlargement and then you get lead to porn forums! Now there are hundreds of these and they are going to be easy to target and get people visiting your site!</p>
<p>Even better with these sorts of forums most of the time people just post pictures and movies and story&#8217;s. So you could be a member of 10 forums and post the exact same thing on all 10.</p>
<p>Do that for a month and you have 10 forums x 1 post a day on each = 300 posts going back to your pre-sell page from highly targeted forum traffic.</p>
<p>Now not all niches will be as easy as this one but you should be able to get the idea here.</p>
<p><strong>How to find forums:</strong></p>
<p>To find the forums you can just use google and search &#8220;keyphrase/niche forums&#8221; and it will bring you up a load of them usually!</p>
<p>However you want to check each one out for the following thing&#8217;s.</p>
<ul>
<li>PR</li>
<li>Spam</li>
<li>Activity</li>
</ul>
<p>These 3 factors will determine what you do on the forum!</p>
<p>For example if it has a high pr, lots of spam and low activity then just create a profile and maybe one post so you get the high pr backlink juice!</p>
<p>If it&#8217;s got  no/little spam but high activity  then you want to keep this one as a traffic gem and only post good information and make yourself sound like an authority!</p>
<p>After all there is no point in wasting time getting traffic from somewhere when there is no traffic to be gotten!</p>
<p><strong>Forum Tips:</strong></p>
<p>These only apply to active forums with people who actually reply and care about what everyone else has to say.</p>
<ul>
<li><em><strong>Title</strong></em> &#8211; This needs to be attention grabbing and not spammy and make them want to reply, as the more reply&#8217;s the more views and the more traffic you get!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><em><strong>Profile</strong></em> &#8211; Make your profile as boring as possible and only include maybe your real name and your website link so that people are not distracted!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><em><strong>Signature Link</strong></em> &#8211; Not all forums allow this but the ones that do are even better, this is where you want to pre-sell your link and make them click! Don&#8217;t make it spammy and the site you link to normally cannot be directly to the offer or sales page but a pre-sell information page is much better! Changing the colours, alignment, size etc etc can help increase traffic clicks too!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><em><strong>Location</strong></em> &#8211; Often the location &#8216;part&#8217; is also shown on all of your posts underneath your profile name! This is often overlooked advertising space and where you can place your website url.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><em><strong>Username</strong></em> &#8211; Depending on the niche you need to keep a &#8216;good&#8217; username, for example in the gaming niche you want to choose a nickname. In the health niche for embarrassing problems you would never use your real name so use a nickname or just your first name. Just keep it real! Also at the end of each of your posts put your username at the bottom so that people remember it!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><em><strong>Photo/Avatar</strong></em> &#8211; Again this depends on the niche, gaming niche you want a gaming character or something funny, IM niche you want a photo of you, embarrassing health problems you want something simple or funny! The whole point of having a picture is so people recognize the photo as its always easier to remember a picture than a name or word!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><em><strong>Posting</strong></em> &#8211; When you post reply&#8217;s to people&#8217;s questions or ask for peoples thoughts on products etc then you want to get into the habit of quoting from random sites with a link back to them! It doesn&#8217;t matter that its not your site but when you come to link to your site then it will not look suspicious at all! BUT don&#8217;t forget if you have a sig link linking to your site not to say &#8216;anyone read this article?&#8217; and it links to the same site as in your sig!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><em><strong>Authority Figure</strong></em> &#8211; You can get a whole load of people following you on forums and listening to every single word you say, these people will become useful to you and can make you alot more money than you doing all of this alone! After all they will be replying on your threads and increasing the traffic. So stay nice, informative and helpful!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Sig Link Buying:</strong></p>
<p>In some forums you are allowed to buy other peoples signature links for a small price which if they post alot, post well and are good people can be a huge bonus as then you don&#8217;t have to post as much and they can be promoting your site everyday! Less work and for only a few $ can be well worth it!</p>
<p>Most often these are people in the make money online niches who are known for selling their signature space to others, however it can&#8217;t harm approaching someone (as long as they arn&#8217;t a mod or admin) in any other niche!</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong></p>
<p>Well as you can probably tell i could have packaged this up and sold it for an easy $7 to $37 if i had just added some nice pictures in it and called it an ebook. So don&#8217;t neglect this advice!</p>
<p>Anything else that you do or can think of that ive missed leave in the comments <img src='http://tombrite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  or just say thanks is cool too <img src='http://tombrite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
