      Yeah! The key is "How do you ask in such a way that your site's content will win the best answer" Good luck with your new site Mega!

    Good list Edmond.

    On number 11...

    11. Be pro-active by PM-ing people about your site on related forums.
    -> How do you approach them in such a way that you won’t be labelled as spam?
    -> In what way could you entice them with a personalized offer to increase CTR?
    --------------

    When you pm a member about your site or promotion it will almost always be considered spam. The only way it may not be considered spam is if you had previous dealings with that member.

      Thanks Dave,

      How about I switched the technique into something less spammy like this:

      11. Build an active profile on related forums, activing exchanging PMs

      How does that sound now?

    Maybe it's just me but I woudn't be comfortable telling people PMing others in a forum is a traffic generation strategy.

    The OP said it like you're saying to PM them and tell them about your products - I do get PMs like that but they're usually not PMs I want to get. The whole point of forums is building relationships and a community - PMing people to promote your products/sites will usually come across as spammy no matter how nicely you word it.

    Maybe others feel differently but it definitely wouldn't be in my top 20.
