Anytime Loes. Let me know how it works for you.

I just left my profile on a forum, but I got several people all over me, are you here to gain souls for your business? I replyed, If you want to change the rules here, go to the redaction, it is allowed to leave my website here. So that's also a possibility, to encouter reaction like that:)

There will definitely be times where you get this type of reaction from folks because they think you're just trying to make a sales pitch but for the most part you'll have people that will say nothing and click on your link and when they see its actually providing valuable content then they'll provide some feedback on your site as I did with the guy I used in the example.

There's always some kind of negativity present but that small percentage that does decide to take a look at what you have, can have major positive impacts on your business. Once again it's about having an online presence and branding yourself.

Oh Josh, I am not giving up, but it was really a different experience from when I first came to WA

I think so too!

I've been sitting around brainstorming on simple, little things to better my website and increase traffic flow and I can up with a few ideas and I'll be building out the training in a couple of days.

I'm just glad to help Jeff. And do let me know how it works out for you.

Your welcome anytime my friend. This is a good way to get free traffic in addition to other free traffic sources such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, etc.
Try this with a couple of forums and in a couple of weeks let me know if it helps any at all.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I'll be more than glad to help.

Thanks again Josh. My site needs brainstorming. Been here for about a year, yet to monetize. There's still so much to be done. Will try to join some forums. Hope to do some ignition. :)

As far as paid traffic is concerned, check out DirectCPV.com. Let's crank it up a notch! ;-)

It's not recommended to just go around spamming up forums but only in cases where it's a legitimate conversation within the forums and your review can shine some light of clarification on the topic.

But also if the person isn't giving an affiliate link to make a sale, only providing their link to their review, then it shouldn't be considered as spam.

That's very true. I suppose I've been part of a few very strict forums, but so long as people know how to promote without giving a sales pitch it should be fine.

I would say so as well. Giving that sales pitch is what gets folks caught up. If they provide their link to simply get to their page/review which has helpful, engaging content then their website should make their sales pitch for them.
