I was reviewing a few viral marketing service and came accross something pretty intresting called WideCircles. They seem to work by sending viral messages to various websites like forums, blogs, wiki's and so on. My friend signed up for the account the other day after running a small but successful campaign ( targeting very specific niche ) and told me about it. It seems like a nice idea to gather highly relevant traffic and help with the SEO process at the same time while paying very small amount of money compared to pay per click. In any case, I am going to give them a try today. In case you are intrested here is the site.
I'm guessing the program told you too post something like this to varies forums right. You should try posting on the forum for a while before promoting stuff on it. That way you build a relationship with the forum community and they will be more likely to take your advice.
try becanada it's also viral marketing it gives you alot of free hits just be sure you read and understand the statement clearly
I kind of agree with heakset - the real benefits of posting in forums is to build bridges with real people who have the same interests as you. The true plus is in helping people, posting good content - this builds credibility and that is key. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
