ive seen some competitors post and get the long term link, however, make sure the comment is worth something
You can increase traffic with Google Groups - but you have to be careful not to be labeled as a spammer - it's similar to the forum signatures.
I've posted in Google groups, but you should really make sure the group allows advertising type posts. I've gotten some traffic from groups, but not really enough to make it worth it.
i have read some succes stories from people posting in google groups. however the more stories i hear about that its a waste of time. its still on my "things to try list".
Some say that posting to different groups like yahoo and big G groups are consider as a spamming technique. It's the reason why I don't do it.
yeap... i dont do it as well.. i did it once though.. but not much effect with just one or two links.. but since its google... if you put in more of your links.. most probably they will flag you for spamming.. or maybe they wont.. well.. not really sure.. but ... better not to risk it..
Ok, thanks for the replies. I think I better drop it. It is not so many that use these groups anymore is it?
