You either love forums or you hate them! They can be well run and moderated or they can just be rubbish. However they cannot be ignored as a good forum brings in traffic by the ton. So are you wasting your efforts by posting on them or not?
I love forums! Heck I love them so much I now even advise other people how to build and run them.
If you have a website and are struggling for traffic then posting regularly on a good forum can boost your sales and your traffic beyond belief and all for free. Even just posting ten times per day in a forum that is in the same niche as your own website can bring huge amounts of free traffic.
One of the prime reasons for this is the use of your "Signature" box - This enables you to put a keyword back linked phrase to your website, and best of all it is a one way back link, which is just the sort that Google currently loves! So the more you post on forums with your signature linking back to your site, then in effect the more one way back links you are building to your website.
One way back links are notoriously hard to get. Sure you can buy software that allows you to search for blogs related to your keywords and then post comments against them,but most blog owners now manually approve comments, so if you post a spam comment which is clearly just intended to gain nothing more than a back link, then it will be rejected for sure.
So yes forum writing is productive, not only does it build traffic but it builds one way back links as well.
By regularly writing on a popular forum you will become known as an expert on your subject by your peers, and should you decide to launch your own product then you will already have a list of potential buyers "Warmed up" and ready to sell to.
The other beauty of posting on a forum is that you can do it twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. It does not matter where about in the World you are.
If done well writing on forums can actually bring you enough business to give up the day job. Yes it is me that I am talking about. Around about eighteen months ago I threw in the towel on my day job and started to write full time. So yes I would say forum writing can be more than productive!
