However, you cannot post your advertising or any otherpromotional material in the forum as this is considered asSPAM! Unless, this forum is specially mentioned that allowyou to post such promotional material.

So, how to use forum as a free way to get traffic?

In most of the forums, you are allowed to create a signaturefile which you can place your description, attractive wordsand the link to your website or subscribe your newsletter.

People go to the forum normally who are seeking solution tosolve their problems. You can share your experience to helpthem. Let's share some of my experience to help get to knowhow to use forum to get free traffic.

I personally promote affiliate programs and member sites.All the products I promote basically are how to make moneyonline and start internet business. So, I will look forforums which discuss about money topic, internet business,internet marketing etc.

I view the posts, read their questions and try my best byanswering their questions. As mentioned above, my website link will be posted in the forum also. People read my postwill normally click my link also.

This is how I get started to build up my subscriber base.I use this method everyday and get free subscriber.

Of course, there are some techniques in answering. Forexample, the most popular question is, "How to start internet business?" It is highly recommended that not answering like selling a product, e.g. "Oh, you can joinxxx program, click my link will show you how .."

How's about this?

"Hi Mr. xxx, there are many ways that you can build yourinternet business, basically start an internet business by building websites. However, if you find it difficultto build a website, you can join certain affiliate programIf you need further helps, you are welcome to email me orpost your question here.
