    Tips and Tricks to get more views from your free advertising forum posts

    Free advertising forums are a great way to get traffic to your blog - best of all, it's completely free! I have been posting on such forums for a while now and so have gained knowledge. I have compiled a list of tips to help you.

    These tips and tricks will help you get more views of your free advertising forum ads.

    1 Always have an attention grabbing subject line. This will decide whether people open up your advert or not. Offering people something will attract attention - eg. "Free e-book here."

    2 Don't be put off from posting your ads at smaller forums. They stay on page 1 for longer, therefore reducing the number of times you need to re-post. You'll get more views per ad in general.

    3 A well known tip is to place a "P.S." message at the end of your post. For example, "P.S. this offer is limited to the first few respondants only." This will make the reader think about acting now, rather than later.

    4 Your signature can get you a fair amount of traffic for no extra work. The first thing you should do when you register at a forum, is to contruct a signature. This will be displayed everytime you post a message and even when you reply to other people's messages.

    5 Replying to your own message will put your post top of the list again. Some forums don't allow repeating a message, but you can get around this by posting "updates."

    6 Start a forum of your own! As the admin, you can set your ads as stickies or announcements - your ads will appear above everyone else's - therefore getting a lot more views.

    7 Make use of your control panel. This makes updating your threads easily. Simply click on "subscribed threads" or "view your posts" - depending on the forum. Simply right click on the ads you wish to bump (or update) and click on open in new window.

    Having your own forum is a good way to drive traffic to your other sites!

    Good tips, the only one I have to consider is the forum signature. Some people think if a member has 10 posts with a link in their sig, it looks spammy. I can't decide If I should wait a while before I add a link or not.

    Anyways, thanks for the list.
