Case Study: How To Get Free Traffic From Forums

October 16, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing by Olgi Zenullari

Having a new blog and trying to get traffic is really a hard job. As an Internet Marketer I’m trying different ways (which I will all share with you) and the first method I tried was getting traffic from forums.

What Did I do !?

First of all you have to write something which everyone likes to read! If you cannot write something useful for your readers than write a catchy title and an article which you are damn sure many visitors would love to read! I blogged about my new car and opened threads in the forums listed below.

Here is what I wrote on the post

Hello friends !

I have started uni and it was the proper time to purchase a new car. I got a black Citroen C4 babe and everything is going excellent so far

It consumes 6-8 liters per 100 km and max speed is 219 (as they told me but gonna see it soon)

Thanks

As you can see I also posted a link to my post and informed the members of the forums that they would find photos of my car on that link thats why most of them were clicking to see how the car was looking

After 24 hours I was checking my stats on WordPress and on Analytics and I found this:

As you can see I got 130 views on my “I just bought a new Citroen C4″ post. It is a good amount of visitors if you compare it to the fact that this blog is only 4 days old. Below I’m also posting an Analytics Referrer screenshot

Conclusion

The overall idea of this post is plain simple, try to get visitors from any available source such as a forum you always post and you are an active member. I got 100 uniques in a day WITHOUT spending a cent and thats the best part of Marketing , getting the maximum by investing the minimum

Thanks for your attention
