This is my first time writing an article on A5, so don’t laugh at the bad points!
I made a small forum on February 23, 2008. Before I resigned from my job in Chengdu, I maintained an IP address of 1000-2000. After quitting my job, I concentrated on building my own forum. In less than a week, the traffic increased from 2000ip to 2wip. Let me share with you my experience in website promotion.
1. Promotion methods of forum publicity:
Because my forum is a comprehensive entertainment forum. Therefore, any kind of posts can be posted there. I go online every day, collect many of the most popular and exciting videos, and put them in my forum (there are dozens of video websites for finding material in my favorites). Then go to relevant large forums and conduct overwhelming publicity.
The forum promotion method is the most difficult of all my website promotion methods. It is also the fastest effect. Every day, I post dozens of topic posts and upvote hundreds of posts on those big forums outside. But in those big forums, there need to be a lot of vest replies, otherwise the advertising effect will be very poor. Among the several forums I mainly promote, one of them has more than 40 ID numbers.
There are many websites on the Internet, and among the promotion methods, they all talk about the promotion method of forum postings. But most people do it in one lump sum. Therefore, when many people use this method, the effect is not obvious. In fact, the biggest key to posting on forums is to choose good material (must be very popular). Then go to a relevant and popular forum (I often go to forums where hundreds to thousands of people are online) and post to promote it. You should use more vests and take the trouble to top up the promotional posts that you have been sinking. I just use this simple forum posting method. At most, I bring about 10,000 IPs from one forum.
2. Join the Forum Alliance, Internet Picking Alliance, Picture Picking Alliance
Here is a special recommendation, Qihoo Forum Alliance. In the beginning, I paid the price for a friendly connection with Qihu. Joined the Qihoo Forum Alliance. Submit about 20 posts to Qihoo every day. Brought me considerable traffic. Of course, the post you submit must be very attractive before Qihoo will include you. Since I joined the Qihoo Forum Alliance, Qihoo has basically brought me about 2,000 IP traffic every day. On the biggest day, Qihoo brought me 3wip of traffic.
In addition, I have joined the Chinese BBS Forum Alliance, No. 5 Picture Pick, Net Pick China, Tianxia Net Pick, Picture Pick China, etc. Although it is not as much traffic as Qihoo, it can still bring me 100-1000 traffic every day. It adds up to a lot. I found some forums on the Internet that specifically rely on joining forum alliances to generate traffic for their websites. These personal webmasters only need to post dozens of topic posts in their own forums every day. Then submit posts to these alliances, and IPs of several watts will come in a day. (For example, Tuba Tianxia, Youyi Community, Renrenjia Forum) You will find that these forums often have more than 1,000 people online. But often no registered members are online.
3. Join the friendly link alliance
One of the biggest benefits of joining a friendly link alliance is that it can not only increase the website's exposure on the Internet. Increase the number of backlinks and PR value of the website. Also because of the registration of the friendly link alliance, the website information was left behind. And generated a self-service friendly link system for myself. In this way, others can add my website as a friendly link without notifying me. Make friendly links easier.
On the friendly link alliance website, some unpopular websites are also registered. These sites are a mixed bag. Therefore, when making friendly links with these websites, you must be sure of the value of the other website. Make sure you make this friendly link, which will be good for your website’s traffic.
4. Search engine optimization
Let me first state that I do not know search engine optimization techniques. In the past, the traffic from Baidu searches to my forum was only a few hundred. But one day, it went from hundreds to thousands. I found through the traffic statistics tool that one of the keywords came in at a particularly high rate. It was another forum administrator like me who accidentally posted a post about "Harry Potter 4" in the torrent download area. At that time, there was no place to download "Harry Potter 4". Of course, the one in my community cannot be downloaded. However, search for "Harry Potter" bt download on Baidu. My post ranked first in the search results. Therefore, many people enter my forum from Baidu. Just relying on this keyword, I get 2000-3000 traffic from Baidu search every day. Through my own investigation for a period of time, I found that posts posted in the bt download area are easily indexed by Baidu. However, the ones ranked in the best positions are all posts with relatively concise titles. When posting, it’s best to post only the names of movies and TV series. Don't post in the title how many episodes it was and who acted in it. Posting some popular movies that are about to be released but have not yet been released will have the best effect. There is a good example from the beginning: when "The Promise" was about to come out, it had not been played in theaters and it was impossible to download it online. But I first sent a Wuji fake download address in the bt download area. Through this post, I later brought several W IPs from Baidu search. (Editor's note: Well-intentioned deception)
5. Traffic exchange
At the beginning, I joined a company called, "China Website Ranking Traffic Exchange Alliance". I placed a pop-up code for the Traffic Exchange Alliance webpage in some sections of my forum. It also brought me good traffic. At that time, I felt that basically, I gave it 1000 ip, and it could bring me 2000 ip. There are also some methods of traffic exchange, which are also very good. It's just that my forum doesn't work. It is an exchange of posts between many beauty picture websites. Post a very attractive picture of a beautiful woman in a prominent place on your website. After the visitor clicks in, he enters the homepage of another website with pictures of beautiful women. Nowadays, many beauty picture websites generate traffic for each other in this way.
The traffic of my website is composed like this: 2wp = forum promotion 6000-1w1p, + forum alliance 3000-4000ip, + search engine 3000-4000, + traffic exchange 2000, + other direct input around 3000ip. I have 20,000 IPs per day. My personal forum, history, the day with the highest traffic, has more than 4w5 IPs. Because that day, 30,000 IPs came from Qihu.
My website can be upgraded from 2000 to 2wip in less than a week. Mainly relying on the previous methods. My promotion method is very popular and has no technical restrictions. It is suitable for many personal websites. In fact, website promotion is very simple, just do more research and don't be afraid of hard work. Also, the traffic statistics plug-in is very important. It can be seen which of the publicity methods used in a day is the most effective. I’ll specialize in this method later. The experience of online promotion comes from practice.
Originally, I had been very hesitant. Write down your website promotion method in such detail. Let everyone learn it, and you will not be able to mess around on the Internet in the future. Later, after being enlightened by a colleague in the company, I decided to share the good things with everyone. Only in this way will others recognize you. Therefore, I will tell you everything I know today.
Before this, I wrote a post on how to quickly increase website traffic (2000 IP in one week becomes 2wip). Now, let’s explain in detail the promotion method of forum promotion.
Main steps for forum promotion:
1. Find materials and post them on your own forum
2. Find a suitable forum area to post in
3. How to post top posts to achieve the best effect of promotional materials
Others: 1. What to do if the domain name ID and IP are blocked; 2. How to use forums to promote professional websites.
1. How to choose good promotional materials
If you can find particularly good material, it will be a selling point. Your subsequent work will be much easier to do. Therefore, in the steps of forum promotion, it is particularly important to choose good materials.
1. Find out the most popular elements currently
First of all, you have to understand what netizens like to watch the most and what is the most popular now. For example, when I used the forum to promote the company's website, it was when Super Girl was at its most popular. Sister Furong also received special attention. At that time, I found a lot of video posts related to Super Girl. And some funny videos of Sister Furong, Sister Daihua, and the boy in the back room. Go to major forums to promote it. As soon as it was posted, it immediately attracted the attention of most netizens. Naturally, it brings good traffic effects. If you can't judge, what is the most popular right now? The simplest way is to refer to the keyword rankings of Baidu, Yahoo, and Sogou. Whatever is most popular, you can find the answer there.
2. Materials that are on the wrong side of pornography
There is no way, men nowadays are lustful. Just find some more passionate videos and post them. No matter what time of year, many people will pay attention to them. It’s just that such a post can easily be considered a virus by forum moderators and has a high chance of being deleted. This requires attention to the skills of posting. The choice of forum is also crucial. Try to choose a more comprehensive forum for promotion, so the chance of your post being deleted will be much smaller. It will also have good results.
2. How to choose the best promotional location
Choose a good publicity location through your own publicity practice process. It is the most important factor in forum promotion. If you go to the place where it is advertised, the popularity is very low. There aren't many people online in one section, and there aren't even a few new posts a day. No matter how good your material is, or how skilled you are in posting and replying to posts, it will be of no use. How to find a good publicity location? Let me tell you how I found it before.
1. Have a good traffic statistics software
We can count the traffic of a day and which forums it comes from. Where there is more traffic and where there is less traffic. Statistical software is an essential tool for website promotion. Personally recommend 51la (the statistical function is powerful, and the traffic is less than the general statistics, which can encourage you to work hard to promote)
2. Find more big forums to do experiments.
I have registered an ID in the Chinese community BBS, the top 20 forums. For each forum, relevant forum areas are selected for posting and promotion. After a few days of observation, I found that I could use traffic statistics software to select the three major forums that brought the largest traffic. From now on, I will focus my publicity efforts mainly on these three forums. I’m not afraid to tell you that I have registered 30-50 IDs in each of these three forums. The forum sections I chose have an average of several hundred to several thousand people online. Often I just need a good material. After posting it on these three forums, and upvoting it a few more times, I can bring traffic to WIP in one day.
3. How to post and like posts
Posting and upvoting is also a science. With good materials and a good promotional location. Mastering the skills of posting and upvoting posts is to achieve the optimal traffic effect for your promotion.
1. How to post (the title is eye-catching and attractive)
You are in a new forum. Don’t rush in and start posting. First of all, we should pay attention to whether there is any special posting format in this forum? For example, whether to add any symbols before the title. I have encountered many forums before. Because they did not follow the posting format required by them, even if they were not promotional posts, they would be deleted. In the same forum, the posting format requirements in each forum will be different. For example, Baidu Tieba is like this. In addition, how to make an ordinary title more attractive. You can add some auxiliary modifiers to the original title. For example: exclusive, latest, super clear, banned, etc. For areas where there are no format requirements, you can add some eye-catching symbols yourself to draw attention to your posts. For example, I once found an ordinary Korean mobile phone advertising video on the Internet. The title I posted is: Sexy beauty mobile phone advertisement banned in South Korea. This will definitely have a much better effect.
I feel like I'm a bit confused, and I can't speak clearly. The art of posting needs to be experienced and practiced by everyone in order to become proficient.
2. How to post
There are two functions of upvoting: 1. It is to push the post that has been sunk to the homepage so that more netizens can see it. 2. Talk to yourself and sing an exclusive show in front of netizens. Have some unique effects.
Upvoting requires more experience and skills than posting. Don’t think that upvoting is just to upvote a simple post and that’s it. What I pay attention to is how to post efficiently. On the home page, you need to know, what is the refresh time period for which forum areas? (That is, all posts on the home page are updated once.) Different refresh time periods, posts in the forum areas, will have different times to be upvoted. Posts in popular sections are generally liked 3-5 times a day. For the regular version, 1-2 times a day is enough. (I will definitely not post in the unpopular section) This only plays the first role.
Now let’s talk about the second function. Some friends know that many netizens are afraid that the posts they post are viruses. And dare not order it. Many posts were deleted by Bamboo because of this. So, I usually post new promotional posts. I will use another vest and go to the 2nd floor to reply. You can see the promotional material in this post, it’s very exciting, thank you to the original poster for your words. In this way, when other netizens come in to take a look, they will see that someone has already seen it and the evaluation is still so high. Most people will click with confidence. In this way, the success rate of clicks is greatly improved.
That’s all for today. Thank you friends!!
