Comment posted on Participate In Forums For A More Successful Blog by Dieta
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.

- 7 Blogging Mistakes You Should Avoid
The last one is a often commited “blog crime”. People think that the only way to get traffic is by search engines while in fact it’s those pesky daily/weekly readers that make up most of your community – you need to care for them and write posts that they might enjoy. Even if it means ranking a little lower in search engines. - Build Your Traffic By Commenting On Blogs
Comments are a great way of building traffic. Top commentators plugin only further devloped the possibilities. I didn’t know however that being first helps. Thanks for that
. - 30 Words You’ll Never Misspell Again
I always misspell “Amateur” (I had to copy/paste it right now to ensure that it’s spelled correctly). But then again English is not my first language so I guess it’s ok. - How To Write Better Blog Posts
This actualy sounds like a good idea. Every time I’m writing I’m either writing my thought as they come by or build my text around couple sentences I wrote earlier when I had an idea. I’ve never tried preparing the whole plan of my writing.

My name is Steven Sanders and I'm a Professional Blogger, Izea Insider, Web Designer, Social Media Enthusiast, Dad, Husband, and Friend.
Haven’t heard of most of those forums. Seems I got to get on them more then, eh?
Another great post, Steven.
Forums = success….I’m on it. Thanks Steve
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.

@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.
