Search forum plus the topic of your site on Google or Alta Vista. For my first site, I searched backpacking + forum and in the pages of results I found several good forums. I also searched related topics like hiking too. You can also check about.com, and other sites that have forums on many topics. Registration is usually giving your email address and choosing a password. Some forums allow guests to post without registering. Once registered, browse the forum topics, and post a response to anything, just to learn the ropes. Income From Discussion Forums The point of posting in forums is to get readers to come to your web site. Sure its fun to give advice and discuss things of interest to you, but thats secondary. With that in mind, do the following: 1. Always link to your site. If they dont allow any links, find another forum. 2. Dont spam. Sales pitches will be removed. Offer honest advice, or express an opinion, then sign off with your name and the link to your site. 3. Ask for help from others. This is an effective and acceptable way to advertise. Enter a topic like Can I get some advice? and post something like, I just started a meditation site. If some of you would visit and tell me what you think, Id really appreciate it. Have a link to the site. People love to help, and to give opinions, and theyll click on those ads while theyre at your site. 4. Look at total views. Many forums show the total times each thread has been viewed. When you see some with many more than others, get in on those, or start a new thread on the same topic. Go where the traffic is, and get some of it. I didnt like the idea of forums until I made a few posts, and saw my traffic and revenue climb for days afterwards. That convinced me. Just be polite, offer some value to others, and always have a link to your site. Many other secrets of using forums are covered in my newsletter, but this should be get you started.
