After joining an active forum where you want to start your campaign, the first thing to do is “to be good”. Do not include your link or your ad directly in the body of your message. I hate this attitude. Example of bad start that may lead to banning in your fist post is “Hi, My I’m Raden and I’m the webmaster/owner of Myseoblog.net. Please visit my blog and see useful content”. If I am a moderator or an admin of the concerned forum, I will immediately give you an infraction. Don’t tell me you are innocent. It’s intentional and not acceptable. Just introduce yourself without mentioning anything about your blog or website in message body. It is already there in your signature attached to your post.

* Threads. The best thing to attract readers’ attention is by posting very informative and unique threads. Threads that could make readers think, threads that are first time to be seen on forum, and threads that can be argued and can drive many comments and reactions. I hate people who are copying other threads from other forums, or copying other articles from article sites. If you do this, you are degrading your self.

* Posts. Post sensibly. This thing is easy to read, easy to understand, but hard to do. Posts like “I agree”, “Nice Idea”, “Very informative”, “I will do it”, etc are nothing but crap. No wonder why most forums set the minimum number of characters to avoid these types of messages. Answer the thread or the above post with content that invites another member to react so that the thread would keep rolling carrying your signature.

* Maintain Your Thread. Always answer every time another member or members posted a message under your thread. This is to keep your thread alive and your signature visible. But of course you must take note of the above remarks when posting. Do not post crap just to bump your thread. Wait for others to post and if no one is interested to post anymore, consider your thread dead and create another good one.

* Maintain the threads where you have posts (subscribed threads). Just the same as maintaining your thread. In order to view these threads if there are new posts, just visit your “User Control panel”, or “User Profile Page”. To make your “subscribed” threads available in your control panel, for VBulettin Forums click on “Control Panel”, go to “Edit Options” and on “Default Thread Subscription Mode”, select “No email Notification” from the drop down menu.

Being active on 3 to 5 forums daily could really help your website grow. Creating a unique thread in DP or SP alone and maintain it within one week can give your site at least 30 unique visitors daily depending on how active the thread is. One of my threads in DP has around 1,890 views and 95 response within the last 12 days and has already sent around 1,000 unique visitors to 2 of sites in my signature within the 12 days.

Don’t get too excited of what I am talking about here or you will blame me or tell me I am boasting of you fail. I am not asking nor expecting you to have the same result (as what my e-referrer.com stat shows on Myseoblog.net’s sidebar). Just try and evaluate the result. If you think you did everything but got negative result, then it’s your choice to quit or to continue. But if you think it gives you positive outcome, then we are on the same boat.
