Nice post David. I’ve been doing some forum posting myself and these tips certainly seem to make a lot of sense.
Thanks for the suggestions. I’m just plugging in to online communities, and your post was a good reminder to choose one or two sites and develop relationships there.

I agree with you on all your points however I would like to expand on point B. You are definitely right when you say spend your time on 1 or 2 forums - this is how you become recognized. However, sometimes it can be helpful to sign up for dozens which have marketplaces.
What I like to do is post in the forum until I reach the required post limit for the marketplace threads. Then post my advertisement as often as they allow it.
