Targeted Website Traffic for BANS Stores

Site Traffic Idea

A light bulb (energy efficient of course) just went off tonight, as I was looking at a forum.

I noticed the classified section.  There are currently 5 people viewing that section of the forum.  I noticed some of the ads in this section of the forums are for websites very similar to BANS or PHP stores.  There are tons of forums out there for just about every niche.  So I just checked several of them, and read their rules.  Some allow you to post links and ads to your website, some don’t.  They may want something in return, like a link from somewhere on your site.

Why not get some website promotion ads listed in every forum (that allows it) related to your niche.

Here are the reasons that I think make this worth doing:

• Pre-qualified visitors
  Is there any better visitor you could get that someone on a niche-related forum looking at classified ads?  Since it’s a niche-related site, they should be interested in what you have to offer.  Since they are in a classifieds forum, they obviously are considering spending some money.  These visitors should be highly qualified.
• Links
  Although they may not be highly valued links, they are related and relevant links.
• Potential for Consistent Traffic
  The forum that I am looking at now allows your ads.  There are 12,275 users on this forum, and 1,374 users visited the forum today.  145 users have been on this site in the last hour.  These sites are getting traffic, and it would be nice to get a piece of it.
