    Well I have used several of these services on a couple of forums and this is my personal results and opinion. Your mileage may vary.

    Boostaforum: I tried it with a specialized forum and it was a failure BUT they were quick to refund my payment so I tried them on another forum and they have done a a very good job so far.

    PaidPosts: An abismal failure. Rude and unprofessional and apparently a pay for nothing service.

    Inb0x: Another failure but again they were apologetic and refunded the payment asap when they found they would not be able to fulfill the contract.

    Forumboosting: Probably the best of the bunch so far. Good posts, few need to be deleted.

    I will say this about all the programs. They ALL really suck at follow up and letting you know who the posters are ( VERY inportant to people who use multiple services at once ) and where they are in terms of completion. I have asked each to let me know who their posters are and only one has responded with the information, Boostaforum.

    most organizations don't want others to know who the posters are, because they are scared you will hire them yourself. Removing one link, which will save you money. I've been a paid poster for 3 companies, and was PM'd on around 70% of the boards I posted on, asking if I couldn't post on their site for a nice price, without it going through the company!

    forumboosting was your best experience? Just reading their website makes me want to run away with the number of errors on there. And even the style of writing seems weird.

    Postonmyforum.com is pretty good. I used them to kick start my forums and they did pretty well.
    punkreport.com/boards if you want to see their work.

    Harmony,

    I read your first paragraph...

    ...which was more than enough to convince me to stay away!

    I'd love to change your mind about forum posting services Fahd.
    Except I have put a hold on taking new orders for the next 7-10 days, but if you are still interested after that, please contact me.

    Yes, apologies for that.
    It's the only way to keep a quality service though :)

    ForumBulge.com has always done a great job on my forums.

    Also, I've started my own forum posting service, ForumFrogs.com.

    ForumFrogs.com hires writers with an expertise in a certain area.

    When you place an order, only writers who specialize in your forum's topics will be writing for you.

    You can find a list of our current areas of expertise at ForumFrogs.com

    Thanks!

    Market is so saturated. So many scams.


    Most of these posting services don't have have actual writers which is why posting services dont work and should be avoided.

    Just take an hour and make them yourself. Or create topics people actually want to discuss.

    I have worked with several posting companies as well.

    Only one, ForumBulge.com, had excellent service and posted on topic.

    My experience with the low quality services prompted me to start ForumFrogs.com.

    What makes our site different from many others is specialized writers.

    Before launching ForumFrogs.com I took applications from over 100 individuals. They each listed the five areas in which they could make quality posts.

    When you order from our site, only writers with an interest and knowledge of your forum's topic will be asked to post.

    The writers are ready, and the site is newly launched today.

    We are looking forward to hearing from some of you!

    Paula S :)

    the fact is they all say the same, and the ones who have no idea how to run a business or handle customer service, ruin it for the services like mine, which i guarantee, is more professional than any of them.

    not all are created equal...

    Let me clear this up once and for all. I have purchased PAIDPOSTS.COM earlier this year and nobody is getting ripped off by me. Maybe the previous owner did not take the time to take care of the jobs that HE got paid for. However all the old jobs even the ones that I have not received the payment for (ie all the jobs before jan 15th) are being taken care. Some of the neglected jobs are gold and silver posts which takes a while to complete but they are being completed. I do not like all this negative publicity regarding my new business as we run a legitimate company. This company is owned by www.ingenuity.net which is a international software development firm with very high profiled clients. There is no reason to rip anybody off as it does not make us rich.

    To the poster who claims all posting services are a scam, I would disagree. Maybe not all the forum owners are as smart as you and can get the forum to take off in a short period of time. These posting companies is an innovative way to boost a forum naturally which will drive more users who would like to participate and therefore help your forum grow. There was an article on Sitepoint about this recently and I don't think they would promote an industry that is considered a "SCAM"

    I am sorry for all the ex clients who was mad at the previous owner but it is out of my control. I can assure you that the jobs received after my purchase was completed as agreed and for clients who do not like to wait a couple of weeks for the jobs to be completed. They received their refunds without any hassle. We sell ecommerce platforms that sell between $50,000 to $300,000 and we are not interested in stealing your money. Please do not continue to bad mouth our business, if you have any issue regarding old jobs that you paid for prior to jan 15th, you may email me at tedc@ingenuity.net and I can look up where your job stands.

    Thanks for listening everyone.
