Internet Marketing through Discussion Forums

Occasionally, when I can have some spare time on my hands, I visit online discussion forums.

Marketing through forums is a great way - in it’s own right - to drive targeted traffic to your website but you have to be careful not to engage in mindless browsing through forum posts.

Aimlessly browsing from post to post will drain your time and leave you nothing to show for it. If you are going to use forums to promote your website then you need to make some posts in a forum targeted to your niche.

Now, that doesn’t mean that you spam the forums. This will get you banned quicker than you can imagine.

The idea is to make a positve contribution to the community by answering and asking pertinent questions.

Only posts your link in the signature file that most forums allow you to add to the end of each of your personal posts. If the forum management permit the use of html in the sig file then all the better. You should use this function to insert relevant anchor text leading to your website. The anchor text is the word or phrase that you use to create your link. Using this tactic will help increase your websites’ search engine ranking.

I find that helping others in the various internet marketing forums is the best way to raise your profile and send visitors to your sites. This is basically done through sharing your expertise with others.

Even if you are just starting off in this business you DO have your own experiences and can help others avoid going off in the wrong direction.

I also use online forums to pick up some great offers like the Warrior Special Offers forum over at the Warrior Internet Marketing Forum.

I have also sold a few offers on the forum above. Maybe you have a product or can offer services that others can pick up for a bargain. This is a great way to get the word out and make yourself more than a few dollars in the process.

Article Marketer Commission Problems

It has come to my attention that Article Marketer are currently not paying their affiliate commissions - or at the very least are severely behind on payments.

I had already emailed them a week or so ago because I hadn’t had a payment in a while and then yesterday I read this post over at the Warrior forum posted by a friend of mine, Jeff Schuman.

It’s a pity that companies like this don’t treat their affiliates better. Who wants to promote a company that falls behind on payments? Certainly not me!

I have to say though that I could count on one hand the number of times I have not been paid by merchants on over 7 years of doing business online. Affiliate product owners have a great track record. No matter how small the payment has been 99% pay up.

If Article Marketer are going to bring this good record down then they will pay the price. Affiliate marketers will no longer promote their service, they will also lose the trust of their customers when the word gets out through online discussion forums and blogs like this AND eventually they will go out of business.

If Article Marketer are prepared to allow affiliate commissions to go upaid then in my opinion it will not be too long before they stiff their customers too. I happen to be a lifeimt emmeber of their Article Marketing service, so I sincerely hope this does not happen. Time will tell…

Submityourarticle.com has paid me on time every time. This is a great affiliate marketing service and has a first class affiliate program too.

Anthony Ellis’ Affiliate Auction Ebay Script

I’ve been busy this morning installing and putting to use a piece of software that I acquired recently. This script adds live Ebay auctions to my site based on keywords.

It’s quite simple once the script is installed - Just create a keyword - obviously you want to use a keyword to create ebay ads that are related to your site.

See the site below where I have created ebay auctions based on the keywords ‘wedding favors’ and ‘wedding’. The ads embedded in the text are ‘wedding favors’ auctions. The ads down the side are generic ‘wedding’ auction ads:
Niche Site with Auction Affiliate Ads

You can see how this script is a nice addition to any site and could turn into a nice little income earner. I see this as passive income. I already have many websites that are getting daily visitors so adding Ebay auction to my webpages takes little work and will add another income stream to my monthly income.

The auction software come with a tracking script too, which is thrown in as a bonus. I can track the clickthrus, were the visitors are coming from, and exactly which ads they clicked. Through this I should be able to determine what my web visitors interests are.

Taking the example above - I could exchange the ‘wedding favors’ auctions for various other ‘wedding accessory’ ads - rotate the ads based on keywords - and determine by the click thru rates which ads are bringing the most profit - also giving me good insight into the needs of my visitors.

I love Anthony’s scripts and have bought most everything he has created - including Auto Social Poster and RSS Bookmarker.

These scripts make my life as an internet marketer much more productive. If you have seen the tags at the end of each of my blog post you should know that Auto Social Poster uses these tags to post each of my blog posts automatically to 20+ social bookmark sites.

Sorry, I got off track a little there :neutral:. Back to the ebay auctions for your website. If you are not already an ebay affiliate go over there now and get your account:

Once you have done so grab the Affiliate Auction scipt below and start earning some great commissions today from Ebay:

There is also a great support forum for these scripts, so you will not be left stranded once the sale is made.
