If you are reading this topic then it's probably because you want to know a little more about this post exchange directory.
Personally I believe that post exchanges are one of the best free ways to get a new forum started.
Why?When you are doing post exchange you get a few things in return:
- Content
Doing post exchange simply means that you get more posts and topic on your own forum.
- Members
Ofcourse every new post exchange partner is also a new member on your site.
And who know... maybe they like your forum so much that they'll stick around!
- Traffic
While you are creating activity on your forum you also generate more traffic to your forum.
- Advertising
Most forums allow you to put a link in your signature.
So make sure you have a link to your own forum in your sig when you are doing post exchanges.
But read the rules of the forum first so you know it's allowed or not!
And this is just a brief list of the direct advantages of doing post exchanges.
There are other indirect advantages as well:
- Turning lurkers into active members
It could be that you have a few members that haven't posted anything...
Maybe they'll start posting now as well now they see that there is activity and more and new content to reply too.
- Attract members
Nobody likes an empty forum.
But if visitors see that you have a good amount of content they are more likely to sign up.
- Search engine rankings
More content also means more content for the search engines to index.
While this is more long-term, search engines can bring you a great amount of traffic.
I'm sure there are many more advantages.
So I believe post exchanges are a great way to start a community, and that's why I created this directory.
If you are looking for post exchanges, then you can browse the directory to find other forums to do exchanges with.
And you can also submit your own forum so other people can find you as well!
