Social Media Marketing with Blog Commenting and Forum Posting
Posting in forums is very effective when applied properly. The same techniques can be used when commenting on blogs. Think of it this way... When you post on do-follow blogs and forums you are gradually building backlinks to your site. That is the slow but eventual impact your posting will have on your site. Then when you make each of these posts you have to make absolute certain what you provide is relevant and informative.
You have to consider that anything you put in cyberspace with a link back to your site is going to be a pre-sell. If you don't provide accurate information or you give terrible advice it will have an immediate and negative impact on the traffic you receive from that site. First impressions do matter, and you want the first and subsequent impressions to be good impressions. Once you have done this, you will steadily grow a following. So you will have not only instant traffic from posts once people trust your advice, but you will also have traffic from the SEO the posting is providing you.
