You can use the signature in forum to build backlinks and get traffic.

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.

@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.

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.

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.

Haven’t heard of most of those forums. Seems I got to get on them more then, eh?

Another great post, Steven.
