Something I have been thinking about recently is how Promotion Forums used to help so many years ago, but now they don't seem to help as much as they used to.

Those who want to push a website, blog or forum out there usually tend to do it not only on most forums now but also on social media and that tends to help a lot more now.

Do promotion forums still help in the day and age?
 
Promotion forums still help, but it depends how you use them. If you just drop links everywhere, people ignore you. 😂 But if you share something useful or interesting, it works. The thing is that it takes patience and the results aren’t instant. I’ve had small wins using these forums and I could see considerable traffic from there to my site or even new followers. Honestly, if you mix effort and strategy, promotion forums can still be worth it.
 
I'd say nowhere near as much today as they used to back in the day for forums. If for nothing else, they're good for building backlinks.
 
Not really. I was never fond of those special promotion services like signature advertising, or whatever they used back in the day. As some point, I also offered them, but they were never really effective for the anyone. It's far more effective to network on similar forums, make good content and put a link there every now and then. People tend to ignore most advertising topics anyway.
 
It is quite funny to me, because I feel this debate has always existed even back in the day when forums had more activity people wondered if promotion forums helped, specially compared to other social networks.

A point often coming up was that most people active in those communities are also other webmasters looking to promote, so as soon as it is not convenient for their own purposes they would stop interacting with other communities. I don't know how much more that is the case with the lesser activity.

To me, they always have been a nice tool, but I don't really think of them to become a busy forum straight away. It is for me more how you find so many different opinions and style to do things, how people share resources and their passion and it really can help you learn a lot and try things you didn't ever considered that you wouldn't have stumbled on your own. I've gotten and given advice. I have found people I still feel happy when I recognize their usernames because of our experiences on those promotion forums. So I feel like it has helped me overall even if it is not exactly getting hundreds of eyes interested in my own stuff.
