guide to forum posting
1. Sign Up with a non-temporary email address that looks like real (
[email protected] - is a bad example)
2. Fill out your profile info like you are creating FB page. Be real.
3. Usually good not over spammed forums has a "trust check". Your first 3 (5, 10) messages will go for moderation so post something VALUABLE.
4. Don't start posting in chit-chat or off-topic lounge. It is suspicious. Go to the general forum and find a thread where your message will be useful. Don't post one-liners. Try to contribute to the community knowledge database. Trust check period is your chance to get noticed and get a reputation of a good guy.
5. Don't post links until you pass the trust check. (tip - when you are on a trust check period post some relevant and appropriate links from high-authority websites so you can monitor a behavior of moderators: do they like and accept links at all)
6. There is two type of link you can post :
- Hey guys! Here is the link! Check it out! (traffic+ seo+ can be deleted as advertising-)
In this case you link should be extremely appropriate or it will be deleted and you will be banned. Research all threads or create your own that would be relevant for this forum. Then try to realize where exactly your link won't be promotional.
-
I'll put a link here, but I hope you wouldn't notice it (seo+ lower chance to be erased+)
Here you will be hiding your anchor link in the text. Just figure out how your message should be composed so your anchor text won't be like an eyesore.
tip#1 - in BBcode or HTML code you can change the color of link text to black so it won't be so noticeable
tip#2 - there a lot of forums where you can edit your messages. After you pass a trust check edit one of your messages and put your link (again the same, don't make it in a stupid way and put your link relevantly, or it will be deleted and you will be banned)
In this world if you give something you always get something back. In this situation you should give some advice, share some knowledge and should be a useful unit. Then you will get your link.
Hope it will help you. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
