Posting to forums .... did you know there were 2,790,000,000 of them?

    I noted with interest here a few weeks back, that as soon as people put their sites online they get impatient for results. "That won't be me!" I said. Well it is. I can feel the clock tick tocking it's so slow. So I am posting to every one of those 2,790,000,000 forums (except submarine forums) to drive traffic to my site! Is this a good idea? Surely better than logging into adsense every 30 seconds.

    Spend your time building content and it will all fall in place.

    Budget your time between items...

    Spend a few hours each night doing a couple of those things then taking a rest and the next day hit it again...

    No sense Killing Yourself for something that may or may not ever happen... :D

    Posting in forums is a good way to drive traffic, but it's only one of many. Try submitting your site to website directories, and content-related articles to article directories, and you should see greater results. :)

    Only forums cannot help you to increase the traffic. Link Exchange & directory submission are also important. Of course if article submission & correct tagging is done then the page rank will definitely increase.

    Although I am a great advocate of article and video marketing simply because it is free and stickable, I have to admit that most of the traffic to my make money sites comes from this and two other IM forums I am a member of - so if you think you can honestly post to every single one of the forums you have mentioned, then I reckon you should do really well - obviously make sure that the forum niche is appropriate for your website and make sure you post useful content

    Would love to hear how you get on
    Best wishes

    So I am posting to every one of those 2,790,000,000 forums.

    Complete waste of time as I would bet 98% of these domains are PR0
    not only that, most of these forums will be down and out within a year,
    and new forums of course will take their place.

    You should focus/target your posts to a limited number of high PR forums.

    I wouldn't spend your time spamming forums with your link. Just slowly start advertising your site, and also keep adding GOOD content... or else.

    I feel you need to alter your way. concentrate on high pr forums- others once a week, once a fortnight like that. Also do other things like articles,good content on site etc.
