Mega List Of Internet Marketing Forums

You never know when one interaction will give you an epiphany on how to revolutionize your own business. Please it is fun participating in online forums. It even can be addicting. In many ways I like forums more than blogs. Even with the comment system blogs are basically one way conversations. Sure, you get some interaction but most of it comes in the form “hey, nice post, I agree with that point” type of comments. You do not see too many heavy debates on most marketing blogs.

However, internet marketing forums give equal room for everybody to express themselves. I think for this reason they attract more visitors than blogs. The top internet marketing forum, The Warrior Forum, has an Alexa ranking of 139 as of today. This means that there are only 138 other sites in the world out of the billions of websites out there that get more traffic.

The most popular marketing type blog I have seen has an Alexa ranking of about 2000 (which is fantastic) but it is not 139. There are some seo blogs out there which go past this such as seobook and Seomoz. However, these are membership sites which host tools that users are constantly using driving up the traffic to their sites. I do not think it is just their high quality content which is driving their traffic.

You can also get some promotion of your website on some internet marketing forums. On my internet marketing forum The Free Ad Forum I allow liberal use of the signature file for you to place a link to your website. Others force you to make a certain number of posts before they will allow the use of your signature file.

However, even though you get some link love back from these forums your focus on using the forums should be to participate in the discussions and perhaps even to make some joint venture partners. If you go out just to get links from your signature file as you main motivation I think you will miss the main benefits of participating in internet marketing forums which is to learn and network.

This is why it is a good idea to completely fill out your forum profile with as much information as possible. It is another way for people in your industry to contact you and perhaps work out some mutually beneficial arrangements.

In any case, here is my list of top internet marketing forums. I have visited each site, listed their Alexa rank, and I have given my personal opinion and synopsis of each forum. I only included forums that I thought would be worth joining so you will not be wasting your time. If you have others you would like to add please join my forum at the post and add your suggestions in a reply and let us know why you think they should be included. Thank you!
