Online forums are a two-edged sword.
* You can either spend a lot of time at forums reading all the interesting to-and-fro discussions between people.
* Or you can use them to market your business. If this sounds good to you, remember to keep an eye on the clock.
FORUM LINKING -- HOW TO LINK FROM THE FORUM TO YOUR WEBSITE
There are loads of forums. Go to Google.com and type in your topic plus the word forum, for example "acne forum" or "home schooling forum" (without the quotes) and you will find plenty of forums.
To get links back to your website or websites, choose the most popular forums. These are the ones that attract the most visitors and the most posting activity. They will usually be listed near the top of the search results.
Pick several and take a look. Like what you see? Great. Take particular note of the sort of forum signatures that disguise it.
By contributing useful comments or expressing your thanks in a contextually relevant way (not just 'Good point, thanks'), your forum post and your signature can gain visibility. And traffic back to your site!
