Top 10 Online Marketing Forums
Tue, Apr 14, 2009
ProBlogger’s been posting a series on how to becoming a better blogger in 31 days.
Today’s topic was about participating in forums within your targeted niche. Since my blog is about affiliate failures, I need forums focusing on affiliate and internet marketing.
WebmasterWorld and Digital Point come to mind first, but I haven’t been active there for years. Also, joining communities with good exposure is important. If I was smart I would have outsourced this research to a virtual assistant, but I like doing things the hard way.
Nothing better than 2 hours of research after 9 hours at the office!
Anyway, I used Google rankings, estimated traffic and forum statistics to build the list. It’s split into two parts for internet and affiliate marketing. I also looked at post frequency and response rates, but I didn’t get too scientific. Enjoy . . .

I left out DaniWeb . . .
While it has an internet marketing section, it’s mostly focused on IT and development! Either way, here’s the link: http://www.daniweb.com/
Just giving my 2 cents

No Science here
Nice list of forums. I am a member of a few of them. Very active in DP.
I would think this would definitely be in the top 10.
I use digitalpoint a fair bit, but have just recently started to use warriorforum more. Which has been fun!
I’m also working on the 31DBBB-Ebook. I really recommend it to everybody.
I guess were in the same niche here. My blog - Whenigetrich.com - is also a blog about the How To’s and How NOT to’s in the online money making business. Great to have found your site
Count me in as another daily visitor 
Looking forward to your posts.

Hi Daan, thanks for the comments! I’m going to search for that eBook as I’m not familiar with it.
While looking for star affiliate marketing on Thursday I came across your blog and post about Top 10 Online Marketing Forums - Affiliate Failure. I could not believe the amount of quality material that exists on this site. The site is extremely eye catching and pulls the reader straight it, the articles are great quality and are very professionally written. I have seen too many of these sites where it looks like they pay an 8 year old to do the writing - Not this one. Your site is easily the best that I have seen in a long while.
Thank you for the positive feedback!
You have an interesting view on this that differs from mine, each to his own I guess.
I just wanted to take a moment and let you know that I’ve been savoring reading your posts over the last few weeks. I have a website of my own, and would love to switch links with you. If you’re interested just leave me a comment on my page or send me an e-mail with your details.
I figured I’d personally place info here to guide you on the most effective way to make money using dating affiliate sites along with zero cost methods. I was able to make 3 to 5 thousand $ a month following the techniques in this freely available article, http://bit.ly/5kmonthguide - click to see.
If your willing to write a guest post for this blog, I’d be happy to provide a link to your site. Thanks
You’ve given me a good idea. Thanks for sharing this article with me.
