I was thinking it would be great if there were some forums with a high amount of traffic where we could actually go and post our links and tell people about all this. The problem is, pretty much all of them would ban us for 'spamming' wouldn't they? Does anybody know of anywhere we can do this? Even if we just have it in our sig would be a help. Surely such sites must exist!

I find that as long as you are a helpful member of the forum and answer the question reasonably well, you can get away with a link in your signature.

However, if you start a topic about it I suspect they'll take a dim view of it.

To be honest, most forums would ban you if you just sign up to advertise your website, as SelfSilent said. However, I haven't come across a forum that doesn't allow links in signatures as long as it's not distracting advertisement or something illegal or dodgy, if you're an active member.

Ive had no problems with having my link on my Digitalpoint sig, but this apart from SEO hasnt helped the greenige, not even sure its helped in SEO apart from the quicker indexing.
