Finding Forums and Blogs

by Rachael
12 replies
Hi

I have read a lot about doing forums post and blog commenting as a way to generate traffic. The strategy sounds good.

However, where I get stuck is finding the right forums and blogs where I should be posting.

I have been doing searches on Google : "niche" + forums & blogs.

Is there any other way of finding high traffic forums and blogs which are related to the niche ?

The idea is to to post on "quality" ones and not just about anywhere (quantity).

Any suggestions ?

    If you are using firefox, you should get the live PR plugin. It shows you the page rank of sites you visit. If you are looking for backlinks on blog posts, it could benefit you

    Hi Rachael,

    When you do a google, put in the niche then forum or ezine or blog or forums, like "retriever forums". (Use quotes to keep it specific).

    Also, I recommend that you go to freetoolsandtips.com for some wordpress templates for "your" site/blog that normally sell for $20-50 for free.

    Best of luck!

    thanks

      I second installing seoquake as a plugin for firefox. It's a really nice plugin and will help you see if the blog is very popular.

      Have you tried inurl:?

      Try typing in the niche you want to find, then inurl:forum or inurl:blog

      Example: "internet marketing" inurl:forum

      good luck,
      Ben

    If you use google for searching, you can put in your specific niche and enter "forum" after it to keep it very specific. Its a great way of finding forums and blogs that are specific to your selected business niches, and a great way for social networking as well! Hope this helps!
