Have you ever heard that Google and friends think much of blogs and forums? If not, then I'm the one to tell you they definitely do. What's the conclusion? For traffic and rankings, you simply must try to get links from forums and blogs.
Find the ones with a topic close to your site and join discussions there. How do you get a link? Easy: most often, in forums you can put a text link to your site into your signature.
Forum signature
In blogs, you link your name back to your site. I mean, you specify your name and URL and this transforms into a link to your site, with the name as an anchor, like here:
Blog commentator's name
And even though many forums and blogs attach a rel="nofollow" attribute to these links, still you're getting visitors who're really interested in you.
Here's a warning by the way: do not leave spammy comments.
If you're a frequent guest at any forum you must know how weird it may look. Say, you're discussing the new iPhone and its warranties from Apple, and someone makes a posting:
"Get used cell phones cheaply" and a link.
Why in the world should I care for used phones??? So be careful not to annoy people with your advertising and links. You may not only earn the reputation of an idiot and spammer. Forum or blog admin may kick you out for violating the rules.
Do not write just for the purpose of this subscription link. Participate in discussions, post helpful comments and meaningful content. If you think you can't answer others' questions, just ask your own ones.
DO IT NOW! Another do-this-from-time-to-time direction: comment on forums and blogs and put a link to your site in your signature (or name).
