Main Web Boards

Get website traffic (website visitors) from main web boards

 You cannot post spam on the main boards of forums, it will get you banned. Worse, many members will deliberately boycott the sites of spammers. And in rare, but totally disastrous cases they will start a whispering campaign against you. However there is one way you can legitimately advertise on some main boards.

Most main boards allow you to set up an electronic signature to put on the ends of all your posts. Many allow you to include a link to your site in this signature. Where you can, use this to advertise your site.

You will find a lot more forums than you can humanly post to, so pick the ones that (a)have large membership lists, (b)are on a subject that covers your site, and (c)are on a subject that you know enough to intelligently post about.

When you post, the best thing to do is simply reply (in context) to other people's points or questions. You can start threads yourself, but make sure they are threads that are meaningful to the forum. If you reply out of context, or post pointless threads, people will guess that you are just trying to flash your signature (it is called "signature whoring"), and this will get you banned.

This column's layout and style was stolen from JW Throat. Well I give him a lot of help on his site, it is about time he returned the favour.

25 September
As you will have noticed I did not manage to get an update in before my holiday. And since I got back I have been too buisy with the backlog of work that built up while I was gone to write anything here. But today, at last, I have uploaded something.

However it is probably not what you hoped for. Read the section numbered "0" and called "Start Here", you probably won't like it, but you need to hear it.

22 August
Four new pages this time, but one is very short. They are on pages 11, 12, 13, and 14 in the index to the left.

Yet again I am away over the weekend - I should actually have left an hour ago, so do not expect the next uopdate until near the end of next week. (Although it is a bank holiday, sadly my trip is work related once more.)

17 August
Two new pages this week one on social networking and one on email signatures. They are on pages 9 and 10 in the index to the left.

Hopefully I'll add another page or two during the week, but I am away again next weekend (once more it is work related) so I may not have the time.
