Peter Lee — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:39:56 +0000

Yes, it’s time again to announce my Top Commentator for June 2009. But before this I like to reflect on the support I have had all the time since this blog first started. It’s hard to believe we are now into the second half of the year. Looks like time goes by faster when we are all having fun visiting other blogs and learning from each other.

Thanks for visiting and supporting this blog of mine. For those of you who are new to my work at home blog, as a small gesture of my appreciation, the Top Commentator for each month will be recognized and rewarded with one of the sponsor prizes. I’m making a little tweak in terms of who gets which award provided I received at least 2 other sponsors with a total of 4 prizes. I’ll let you pick your own award and the top commentator gets to choose this followed by the others.

My sincere thanks and appreciation to the sponsors for adding some spice into the flavor of this fun Top Commentator contest.

This Top Commentator for the month of June goes to …(drumroll) Alan Mater. I can see Alan coming to my blog almost daily giving his support and sharing his vast experience both as a blogger and Internet Marketer. In fact the last two months he missed out getting the top commentator award by just a whisker. I just realized he has broken tradition here by being the only top commenter who did not write a guest post here (got the hint Alan ). So Alan thanks for sharing your knowledge, wisdom and supporting this humble blog of mine and helping other newbies who visit here too. Congratulations on your well deserved award.

The following persons will receive the sponsors’ awards:

Legit Business Opportunities – a free banner design, any size from Ben Pei

Now what do the rest of the Commentators get as a reward? You’ll get link love from yours truly of course as a gesture of my appreciation to you for supporting and contributing your comments on this home business blog.

7 Interesting Facts That You Must Know About Forum Marketing

Peter Lee — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 14:22:10 +0000

Recently I did a quick experiment on forum marketing and apart from the useful result which I will share here, the initial perception I observed was that many people are using it to drive quality visitors to their website, blog or money making products- for free.

1. Some Forum Marketing Tips

Join a forum related to your product or services. If you want to drive traffic to your website of money making niche you won’t want to get visitors from a forum related to dogs would you?. You should then join Internet Marketing forums like Warrior Forum.

Never post spam but post only useful information to share with others in the forum. In fact make your participation count. Be seen and heard as a leader or an expert in your area of expertise. Or at least this should be what you should hope to achieve at this forum.

Post regularly and answer as many questions as you can. That’s a good way to gain people’s trust. Over time people follow your recommendations and of course that’s where your forum signature links come in handy.

2. Forum Marketing and Backlinks

A very simplistic way of showing the relationship between forum marketing and backlinks is this. If you have done 1000 posts on your favorite forum and your signature is included in those posts, this means that you will get at least 1000 backlinks from Google. Well theoretically this is true but of course the quality of your post will determine your success rate at getting these backlinks. Personally I’ve written about 350 posts on Warrior Forum. Not really something to gloat about, but it’s still good enough to see lots of backlinks for my home business blog.

3. Optimize your forum posts:

When you do your posts on forums, it is a worthwhile effort to optimize your posts. This simply means just like your blog or article postings, putting keywords and bolding text at forum posts goes a long way in getting friendly with your Google bots visiting the forum. Well since Warrior Forum is a dofollow forum, it probably helps too that I always linkback to my blog posts after each post where possible. Here take a look at a screenshot I made to show how bolding text helped me:

4. Use Good Anchor Text for your Forum Signatures

I mentioned before the more you post the more backlinks you will get. It can’t get any simpler than that. However it would be your own doing if you do not ensure good anchor text that contains you keyword.

5. How To Get More Traffic From Forum Marketing

So I finally did some research on how to increase website traffic by using Internet Forums, starting with my favorite one, Warrior Forum. Truth be told, my traffic from even my favorite forum really sucks. Perhaps I was just too contented with getting the good amount of backlinks. But for those of you who have had great success over obtaining huge amount of targeted traffic from forums, you’d know it probably just take a little understanding about what people are looking for. So if you can somehow find this missing ink, Boom! you’ve got traffic!

6. My experiment to get more traffic from forum marketing

This is my experiment to find out what could possibly be that missing link for me in not getting the traffic from forum marketing. It is not intended to market a product or services to Warrior Forum, not yet anyway. It’s just my experiment to find out how to increase my visitors and traffic. Here is what I did or observed:

I selected 2 of my blog posts and started a thread featuring them. They were carefully selected using topics that were interesting enough to attract people to the posts.
Each of the 2 posts’ titles asks a question. As the topics were popular people are curious as to the answer that is found in the post.
My experiment result after 12 hours: More than a hundred people read my 2 posts to find out the answers to the 2 posts: How To Get Free Backlinks From eBay and How To Get Google Index New Blog In 3 Hours.
The topic of make money online interests many people in Warrior Forum as can be seen in one thread I found titled “I intend to make $10K in 7 days” which generated 9200 views in 2 weeks. Wow!

7. List of do-follow forums

Here is a good list of do-follow forums courtesy of my good friend Ben Pei. You will know that Warrior Forum is also top in his list too. Well good minds think alike.

While the good traffic to these 2 posts is of no significance as far as blog monetizing is concerned ( I got a few more subscribers though), it does show that there is enormous traffic in forum marketing waiting to be tapped. I’m pretty pleased with my experiment knowing that when I do have a hot product, or joint venture that I want launched, forum marketing is definitely one of my best options to market it with a reasonable amount of traffic expected.

The Easiest Way To Get Backlinks Starts Here

Peter Lee — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 14:19:54 +0000

Have you been missing on getting PR6-9 backlinks for top search engine ranking? subscribe to Angela’s Backlink Program to get 30 of them every month at $5.00

If you have read some or all of my 5-part Link Building Strategy Blog Post Series, you would have realized that a big part of your link building strategy evolves around blog commenting. One of the better known secrets in successful link building is to search for blogs with the Top Commentators list to put your comments especially blogs with similar niche.

Once you have made it to the top commentator list, you will be rewarded with sitewide link and getting some PR link juice. You must remember to leave only good quality comments on these blogs and observe the number one rule: DO NOT SPAM.

These backlinks that you’ve obtained will help you in not only Google PR ranking but Technorati Authority too, which together aim to bring you more search engine traffic to your blog. I have witnessed this change too in my blog, proving that Technorati does track who links to you and accord you with the traffic quite equitably. Again I can’t emphasize enough to focus more on high quality blogs with high PR and with similar niche.

Why is this Top Commentator Plugin this good….this powerful?:

Well someone I know who does blog commenting at blogs with ‘Top Commentator‘s List for justÂ 2 months gets him over 10,000 inlinks???Â How? It’s simple ….the Top Commentator links are sitewide (because itâ€™s in the sidebar) and it counts every single page as an inlink. So if you make top commentator on a site with 300 pages, it counts as 300 inlinks.

List of Blogs with Top Commentator Plugin

I’ve made some efforts to compile a list of blogs with different PR so that you get a head start and hopefully make your link building efforts a little easier.

[Updated: October 9, 2008]

The above list has been updated with the recent Q2 PR update and it will continue to grow as I’ll be updating it with more blogs when I do my usual blog commenting throughout the blogger community.

How you can help..

If you have a dofollow blog that is at least PR 1 that rewards its Top Commentators, do give me a shout. I’ll be most happy to include you in the list. Together we can continue to build this list for the benefit of you and others who visit this blog. You will also get a linkback to help you in your link building efforts.

Hope to see you often in this blog and all others in this list doing what I sometimes called an addiction – Happy Blog Commenting!
