Now, this is a great way to build traffic. If you’re constantly on forums that cater to your niche, you have a great chance to get a number of their visitors back to your site. The reason being is due to your actual name that you leave on the site when you go sign in, and embed a link back to your site through your name. Another option you have is actually posting your site in the signature of your profile, which will be seen on posts you make on the forum.
Quality content even on forums leads people to thinking you are very abreast to the subject at hand, and you have some authority on the matter. This is good because essentially you are getting free backlinks to your site just based off writing quality comments or posts. This is also great because the webmaster of the site might actually consider you to write some guest blog posts, which you can link back directly to your site. Picture this: a PR5 or PR6 blog or forum that caters to your niche, and you get a good link that gets a lot of traffic. Not only does that help with getting more visitors to your site, but it also helps with developing a higher page rank. Your standing in Google and other search engines will bump up to possibly Top 5 on the First Page. That’s VERY significant traffic coming your way.
Take it a step even further. Possibly you can do a link exchange or do a partnership with the webmaster. This means you post an advertisement or product link/banner on your site, and you get a good percentage of the profits. This is a great way of building residual income, and learning how to do great deals online through other sites. Building this basic foundation of a relationship early on is key. As the story goes, it’s sometimes not about what you know, but who you know?
