Become an Active Participant in Discussion Groups
By Keith Lee

A great technique to help introduce your website to many people is to become active in discussion groups on the net. By becoming active in these groups you can build a customer base, loyality and trust. By active I mean to participate often and to offer valuable information and answers to questions that others will find valuable and establish you as an expert. 

The big key to making this work to your advantage is your signiture. We discussed signitures in a previous article. Your signiture should contain;

  • a link ot your site
  • valuable information about yourself
  • the name of your site
  • your slogan
  • your url
If the people enjoyed the information you provided it is a good chance that they will visit your website. 

There are sites on the net that will help you to find different discussion groups. OneDog.com has a listing available on our site that lists many different sites. Check out our marketing resources section for more information.
