Forum signatures are an effective way to drive traffic to your PPP website. Most people think that advertising in forums involves starting conversations about the PPP opportunity. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Do not discuss the PPP opportunity in forums unless you are specifically asked. Instead contribute to existing conversations by giving and answer, asking a question or making a comment.

By contributing to existing conversations, most forums allow you to show a signature line below your question, answer or comment.

Here is a screenshot of a forum post. You can see the comment area with the signature line below it. It is far more effective and you will get far more signups by contributing to conversations (that show your signature) rather than trying to open discussions about PPP.

If you try to open discussions about PPP many forums will consider that you are "self promoting" and you will either get ridiculed or your post will be deleted by the administrator. Many consider self promotion to be forum spam so don't do it.

It has been proven to be far more effective to ask, answer or comment on existing conversations of interest and then show a good (curiosity building) signature line below each of your posts.

Setting Up A Forum Signature...

Most forums will allow you to set up a signature. Most forums have an area where you can update your "profile". Find that area and then locate the area where you can update your forum signature.

Most forums use what is known as bulletin board code or forum code to set up your signature. Some of them use straight HTML code. Whatever the case may be, use the preview function (if available) to see if your signature line appears and works the way it is supposed to.

Following are some sample forum signatures that you can use. I am showing the "forum code" version and the HTML version for your copy and paste convenience.

Signature 1:

Get Paid Every Time Your Website Is Seen

Forum Code (Copy & Paste)

HTML Code (Copy & Paste)

Be sure to replace the text YOUR-LINK with your affiliate link.

Signature 2:

Get a Guaranteed 100% Conversion Rate On Your Web Traffic

Forum Code (Copy & Paste)

HTML Code (Copy & Paste)

Be sure to replace the text YOUR-LINK with your affiliate link.

How to Locate Forums...

Finding forums is easy to do using any of the major search engines. I would suggest looking for Internet marketing related forums because this is where many website owners will go to seek answers, advice and comments about making money online.

Go to any search engine and search for any of the following phrases to get a listing of Internet marketing related forums.

  • internet marketing forum
  • marketing forum
  • seo forum
  • sem forum
  • webmaster forum
  • website forum
  • etc, etc, etc...

When you find a forum that interests you, join it, verify your membership and then set your forum signature. Then it is a simple matter of contributing to as many conversations as possible to get your signature seen by as many people as possible.

Many forums have high traffic and readership so asking, answering or commenting to as many conversations as you can will increase the number of times that your forum signature is seen.

Conclusion...

This is an easy way to get tons of people to sign up under you. As stated, don't spam the forums by opening conversations about PPP. Instead contribute to existing conversations is some way, shape or form.

If you don't know how to answer a questions, ask a question instead. If you don't know how to ask a question then simply leave a comment but don't be spammy about it.
