where you are able to reach a large majority of your market place.

In almost every market, people meet and discuss hot topics in forums.
Forums are the central place where you are able to reach a large majority of
your market place. And this is why participating in them is so important.

Some strategies you can use are to:
· Ask general questions
· Recommend useful free resources you’re not affiliated with
· Give tips related to what you offer
The goal here is to be sincere with wanting to help others. You want your
links to stay up for a long time so they can be found by search engines.
If you just promote your product, then your posts will often be quickly
removed. So, don’t SPAM forums with ads!
However, you’re allowed to give your business information in what are
called, “Signatures”. A signature is like a resource box that goes after your
name. Here you can link to your website and tell the reader why they should
visit.
Don’t forget to use “Anchor text” inside, such as having the link to your
website say, “Book Store”.
You can find forums to participate in at:

Another helpful tool we’ve developed to help in the submission process is
“Forum Equalizer”. Forum equalizer allows you to participate in far more
forums than you ever could find time to do on your own.
The result is thousands of incoming one-way links with minimal effort. You
