How To Find Forums 

There are many forums in every niche or market where you can leave as many links as you like. simply do a search using the search engines and you will come across many that you can use. The more forums that you join the more links you can leave and thus the more free traffic you will get. 

You want to look for forums that are very active with lots of members, and forums which rank high within the search engines. The more members the forum has the more active it will be, and thus the more free traffic you will receive. The higher the forums rank the more value will be placed on the links coming from them. 

What To Post

You can make any kind of helpful post related to your site. This will increase your click through to your website. Plus it will also help to establish your credibility.

There are many people who come to the forums with many questions and you should always spend some time answering these. By answering these questions you have the opportunity to  also insert your links to your website, but always make sure that any link you post will be of help to answer the question. Be careful that you do not spam, as this may get you suspended from the forum.

On top of being able to leave your link within your post you can also create a signature which will come up underneath every post you make. Some forums allow you to have as many links as you want but others have a restriction of only 1 or 2, so make sure that you always read the rules so that you can abide by them.

You can also start a new thread with information related to your website that will help others in one way or another.

For lots of free traffic you should spend a couple hours in the forms every day. The more posts that you make the more free traffic you will get.

Building Back links With Writing Platforms


Building back links is essential to getting a lot of free traffic, and traffic is essential to making a lot of money online. Back links are links that are coming in from other websites which take your visitors to your website when they click on it. 

This is where writing platforms come in. They are ranked high in the search engines which gives each link more juice, and as a result your website will also rank higher in the search engines. But not only will you be ranked higher in the search engines but you will also get a lot of free traffic. 

Writing platforms are free to join, and many of them allow you to open multiple accounts under different user names. This allows you to market to a specific niche. This way you have a more targeted audience. The reason you want a targeted audience is because your click through rate will be higher and you will make more money.  

There are many writing platforms online which you can join. A lot of these even allow you to post duplicate contents which means you can have the same content on multiple websites. But there are also many platforms which do not allow that, as they expect original content and will remove your content if it is not, and you risk the termination of your account. So always make sure that you read their guidelines.

Another thing that you have to keep in mind is that some of them have a certain word requirement. But, the longer your article is, the better it will do in the search engines. So taking your time to write a 1,500 word article is well worth your time compared to a 400 word article. This allows you to add more key words into the article without keyword stuffing or sounding ridiculous.

Some writing platforms allow you to add a lot of links to the same website, whereas some will only allow you to add only one or two. Always check the guidelines to see what is or isn't allowed.      

Writing platforms are great because you can use one article to link to another, and this way you can build back links to your articles and rank higher in the search engines. Hubpages allows you to easily link to your other hubs with a touch of a button. You can also link your Hubpages articles to your other articles on other writing platforms.

So you can see that writing platforms are a great way to build back links to your main site as well as your other articles.
