Do you know that forums can be a good source of backlinks to your website or blog ? They can also be a source of good amount of targeted traffic. So how do you proceed ?

First, search for related forums. Register an account there and make about 10 or more posts. Add your site to your signature. The more number of posts you make, the more number of backlinks you get.

Finally, I have succeeded in getting my VPS up and running. I am quite happy right now. Lxadmin is quite intuitive enough.

I encountered lots of problems. At one stage the VPS froze. I had to open a ticket to have it rebooted. When I added all my domains, the VPS ran out of memory and froze again. This time I lost my cool and reinstalled the entire VPS.

Do you want people to visit your web site or blog again and again ? If yes, then try creating your own screensavers (with your site’s url in it) and make them available for free download.

But did you know that social bookmarking can improve your website’s pagerank? And it can be used as an effective tool to divert targeted traffic to your website ?

This is a very simple trick. Here is how you proceed:

• Search for as many social bookmarking sites as you can.
