The Question of Paid Forum Posting • 07.29.10
There are two very definitive schools of thought on paid forum posting. Some forum owners find it an effective way to jump start their forum or message board. Others consider it cheating of the most heinous sort.
Essentially, paid forum hosting is a service where writers post threads and replies on your forum to start conversations and make your forum look busy and active. Since random visitors to the forum are not likely to post on a forum that has no conversations, this type of forum population can be very effective.
But what about the naysayers?
Some forum owners consider paid forum posting to be cheating. After all, these people are being paid to post on your forum, and are unlikely to stick around after the job is done. Also, there are sometimes problems with the quality of posts written.
Paid forum posting comes down to personal choice. Will you use it as a jump start to your forum, or will you instead attract real users the old fashioned way - through dogged hard work?
