Net Hustlin'

The Digital Point forums are one of the most popular webmaster forums online. They have over 37,000 active members with 499,000 threads. Obviously this can be a great place to get exposure for your site just based on the sheer number of people.

You can only make a live link after you make 25 posts. It's worth the wait because threads are indexed by Google almost immediately and many have gained page rank over time. Don't forget to put your links in your signature immediately after you make 25 posts so you can start getting hits and back links.

Digital Point also has a "recent blog" listing your latest blog post under your name. I don't know about anyone else, but I always click these links. This is an easy way to get a few extra clicks to your blog.

If you want to promote one of your latest posts on Digital Point you can, but don't try it until you have established some reputation on the forums. The posts that will get you the most hits will be about link building, web design & development, and making money online. Obviously this is because almost everyone on Digital Point is on there to do at least one of those three things. If you have a blog in this niche don't pass up the chance to promote your site in the appropriate threads.

If you start an appropriate thread with a link to your site you can probably get over a hundred visitors every day that the thread stays in the first few posts. Although this isn't massive traffic there are a few pluses to the type of traffic you're getting. Most of the Digital Point users are web savvy, will subscribe to your feeds if they like your blog, and use social bookmarking sites like Stumble Upon and Digg. Most of them also have blogs of their own and might even give you a link back if you have a great article.

Another great thing about getting traffic from Digital Point is almost all of the users have the Alexa toolbar installed. I know Alexa isn't the most accurate measure of traffic but it can bring more advertisers to your site and make you look more credible in the eyes of other webmasters.

The first time I got massive hits from Digital Point was when I wrote a thread promoting my article "Blogs With Top Commentators Plug-in." That day I finally broke the 100,000 rank on Alexa - I was ranked 44,000 for that day and 65,000 the next.

The traffic from that thread died about four days later but ever since writing it my overall traffic has increased from about 70-100 visitors daily to 400+ daily. This was two weeks ago and I haven't had less than 300 visitors since.

If this isn't enough, you can go to the "freebies" section and exchange Stumbles & Diggs with other users. If you wanted to you could get 100's of stumbles in one night from Digital Point alone. If you do think about doing this try to get only your best article dugg & stumbled. Otherwise your article will probably just get buried and thumbed-down and you won't see much traffic.
