  1. @Ian- those are good too, but what I know about digitalpoint and sitepoint is that you need to be careful since ythere is a lot of scammers and spamers in those forums, I think there is a lil less in WarriorForum.

    @Sherry- I am not very active in forums yet, but it is one of my 2009 goals as well that to increase my comments in other blogs.

  2. Hi Luis,

    I’ve tried all techniques but have not done much on newsletter something which I like to do in the near future. I’m very active in Warrior Forum and I like to take a look at Sitepoint as I’ve heard it’s good. I’ve stopped Traffic Exchange for some time as it’s time consuming and I had lots of hits but I think untargeted as most people do it to get points.I’m very active in Link Exchange as it plays a big part in my link building strategy.
