Do Promotion Forums Still Help?

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?

I would say, very little close to none...
We will take the lead on that... and turn things around.

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.
