"NOTHING GREAT WAS EVER ACHIEVED WITHOUT ENTHUSIASM"
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
Good Monday Morning to all!
Day 16 and day 4 of our SEO Tips and
Tricks series. Our lesson for today is about SEO thru forum posting.
A “Forum” (also known as online community
board website) is an online community where people with same interests go
to. It is a type of website where you
can register, become a member usually for free.
In an online forum you can post your
ideas, make friends with other members, share opinions, give and ask for
advices, and even debate on certain issues.
HOW to “SEO” thru a forum?
Just like
in SEO Tip No. 1 (SEO thru email) you can drive traffic to your blog in forums
by:
1. Direct
Invitation – You can directly invite other members to visit
your blog. When doing direct invitations
please keep in mind to post in the right category so as to avoid forum
moderators (a.k.a forum police ^_^) getting mad at you for being “off-topic”.
Suggested
categories where you can post invitations to your blog are:
· Introduction Section – This is
the first stop for new members. Here you
get to introduce yourself and meet other new/old members. This is also a good venue for inviting other
members to visit your blog.
·
Announcement Section
·
Classified Ads Section
·
Others – Other forum sections/categories/discussions that
you feel it’s appropriate to invite.
2. Forum Signature – Your forum
signature appears at the bottom of your every post so its important that you
create this first before you post anything.
Note: There are forums (usually top popular forums)
that require new members to make certain number of posts before they are
allowed to use their signature.
How to create a forum signature?
You can create/edit your forum
signature by clicking on the “Profile”
link, then find the box where you can type-in your signature.
In creating your signature you need
to insert your text in BBCodes and to make this lesson less complicated here’s
an example you can follow:
To illustrate, if you type the
following text:
[url=http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com] Learn to create your money-making blogs - Free training course[/url]
Your signature will look like:
It looks simple but it's "clickable", other forum members can click on it to visit your blog.
And for those who are already
familiar with BBCodes here are some references:
BBCodes to create different text effects:
BBCodes to create smilies:
You can also use these codes when making your posts in forums.
That’s it for today’s lesson!
Have a nice day and God Bless You
All!

DAILY
PRAYER :
“Dear Lord, Guide me in my daily
tasks. May I learn something new every day and make use of what I’ve learned
to improve myself. Keep me inspired and help me to stay focus so I may finish what
I have planned to accomplish.
AMEN
