Internet Marketing ABC

If you want to establish yourself as an expert in the field, then here’s the bootstrap way how to do it:

just enter places where people ask questions about your field of expertise. Share insights and knowledge, answer questions, help them out. I’m talking forums, discussion boards, etc.

So the next step is – how do you find the relevant discussions that are going on right now?

Well, that’s exactly what conversation search engines can help you do. I found this via Barbara Ling, at Virtual-Coach.com

Boardreader is only one of the several sites you can use for finding quality communities at which to showcase your knowledge.  Other places include:

• Omgili
• Board Tracker
• Ask Sutra

So, get ready to take action if you want to become an authority in your niche.

When I tried Board Tracker, it didn’t brought any results for terms that definitely SHOULD have results (and where Omgili and Asksutra did turn out results).

Boardreader is currently down, so I can’t really comment on it…

Just try this search query

"__________________" "[IMG] code is on""keyword"

and

"__________________""html code is on""keyword(s)"

The only thing that you gotta change in this is keyword.

So, for example, if you are selling an ebook on organic pestizides, your query would look like this:

"__________________" "[IMG] code is on""organic pestizides"

It’s a pretty nifty search query to locate forums that allow image code and/or HTML code.

Don’t abuse this to spam forums, but use it to locate forums where you can become a member of the community that contributes value AND profits from the backlinks.
