“Power Forum Tag Teaming” Part 1 of 3

Filed Under (Relationship Marketing) by Traffic Guru on 04-08-2009

So what is this concept ‘Power Forum Tag Teaming’?

First off it does a couple of things for you to increase website traffic:

#1 — it allows you to take advantage of your pre-existing built up credibility in a forum that you’ve been posting in for a while. This way you don’t have start in a new forum from scratch.

#2 — it allows you to get over the initial hurdle people have of trusting you when you are recommending your own product. This is where the team part comes in and I’ll explain in detail later.

I’ve never heard anybody talk about this concept before even though it is part of a larger more basic concept of doing a joint venture or forming a project specific partnership with someone else.

Forum marketing has been around almost since the dawn of the Internet and is still a great source to increase your website traffic and bring more visitors to buy your stuff.

You’ve heard how you want to go into the various forums that cater to your market and answer member questions giving them your valuable expertise for free.

It’s very key to give them tremendous value because without that you’ll never build any credibility and never be viewed as an expert.

People give great authority and credibility to experts. People love to deal with and buy from experts.

When you become the expert you get all three of these outstanding factors working in your favor. This makes those people that read the forum threads and see your valuable answers exponentially more likely to buy from you. The Web traffic you get from those threads converts at a much higher rate.

Of course there is a way to supercharge this tactic.

Ask yourself right now “Who do you trust and buy from?”

As humans we’re pretty universal in that we trust our friends, our family(for the most part), and those we have known the longest to be truthful and give value to those we see as experts based on their knowledge or some third party credibility.

In part two of this three-part series will dig deeper into this third-party credibility concept.
