Are forums are really good for the Search Engine Marketing?

In an attempt to make money, many web site owners to resort to frantic messages on the forum pages, but you have to wonder if all the hours worth it.

The theory is relatively simple, after an attractive message in a forum related to your website, include a signature in each message and get links to your site / affiliate program and in the process of this information is directly available to any I see that particular issue.

However, there are several problems with this technique, which when expressed may seem obvious, but in practice, ignored most. For example, the use of the term 'make money forum "could search Google / MSN, etc. to publish their sites can not miss the opportunity. Now, post a message, no matter how well written in a forum, it is literally like throwing a stone in a small bay somewhere in New Zealand, the land and wait for an impending wave of strikes in New York. It just will not do much and if you do not believe me, try it.

No, you need to send hundreds or thousands of messages in dozens of forums. But who their messages to reach the? The possibilities are not interested in what anyone has to offer, but thousands of people who offer the same or similar promotions. Are these really the people who want to part with their hard earned money for your company? I think not. These are people who want to make money from not give you!

As the value of direct marketing is virtually useless, but the popularity of its search engine? Well, that has put hundreds of thousands of links to pages related to your site. Would normally be a good thing. However, in this case is not necessarily the case. That is, not with respect to its competitors are likely to benefit more. What I mean is, to measure how well your message is done, you'll find many answers there are and the number of page views. Especially the number of respondents about the number of points of view and they are? Its competitors, each with a signing of their own accord or affiliate program, so there is practically no later.

Until now the focus is starting to look less profitable I think you will agree. If you've spent hundreds of hours discussing the case in various forums, trying desperately to succeed you may want to look away now. You may have actually dropped a few places where search engines in your area, simply because they have created several pages of rich content in another website that is often seen by people trying to make money. Google knows, MSN, and I suspect he knows that people who put the forum on your site using valuable storage space and bandwidth they know well. Add very lucrative promotions, its enormous popularity. All because thousands of Internet users effectively write correspondence bait loaded on their pages.

I wish you well with any marketing technique that you want to try, but I sincerely hope you do not put all your eggs in the basket frantic forum.

Personally, I think the major search engines should rule out the links page of the forum. Not only that, but unless the word forum is specifically mentioned in the query field, no forum must be returned in the results. That way if you want to "make money", you could find pages that offer ways to do it and not full of messages results promoters sending links without real data on the offer they make.
