Comment posted on Participate In Forums For A More Successful Blog by Change Your Life for Better
I have been member of the DP forum you listed at #8. But I wasn’t very active there. I didn’t realize the importance of forum participation until recently when I started checking statistics for my blogs ( http://makeitf.blogspot.com ).
Of course this involves a lot of work on our part. That is what concerns me most. How am I going to manage time, participating on forums, commenting on others’ blogs and writing to my own blog?
You need to also write an article on the typical day a simple blogger. Thanks for this article.

- Losing Your Job In A Recession
Sorry Steve.. I was surprised why you were not posting after the last one on passionate blogging.It is good that you have already done some things before you were left alone without a job. Now it is the same case for everyone thinking when that day will come. We are all preparing for it in one way or another.
Now let your needs motivate you to do things more effectively that you ever wanted to do. Don’t ever get discouraged for there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Good luck..
- Top 5 PPC Landing Page Mistakes
I have noticed very small sized pictures on a website that sells clothes, and on other that sells cables.I wanted to see detailed version of these but the resolution was low. I didn’t understand so far why they did not make the resolution high. So it is now clear. It does not distract the visitor interested in buying the product into browsing interesting pictures.
- Are You Passionate Enough About Blogging?
Very innovative, that cartoon describes your point very well..Sometimes I discipline myself to blog when I don’t feel passionate!
- 8 Daily Tasks To Increase Blog Traffic
I am doing only blog commenting and forum posting. I need to start checking out other ways as well. But I am slowly experimenting and evaluating each method. - 7 Blogging Mistakes You Should Avoid
I agree with you on all things.. I just realized that Google is successful because the way it works is based on accurate modeling of how visitors interact with a website. So by delivering value to the reader we automatically get search engine traffic.I am sorry to point out, but there is a spelling mistake in the last point – “If you’re writing is so cryptic that you sound like a 2nd grader because..”. It must be “If your writing is so cryptic that you sound like a 2nd grader because..”. I noticed that many native English writers do very silly mistakes when foreign writers find problems mainly with vocabulary.

To successfuly promote your site on forums you need to spend a lot of time on there. If you go anywhere and start your career with advertising yourself you won’t last long before getting banned/all your posts deleted.
@Dieta You’re correct. When I mentioned joining forums, I didn’t mean do it to simply advertise your blog. I meant that you need to participate, without expecting it to generate traffic for you. The best thing to do is include a simple text link in your signature that links back to your blog and leave it at that.
If someone you’re talking with or helping in some way likes you enough to want to visit your blog, they will have a way in your signature. Should they choose. Choose being the key word.
I spend as much time on forums as I do on my blog. Not only do I get to learn more for myself, I get to help others. Oh, all while building links back to my blog with my signature.
You can use the signature in forum to build backlinks and get traffic.
