			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are a couple of tips on how to get banned.</p>
<p>Sign up for the forum and build your profile.  Put several links in your profile and make some comments in the forum.  Then go back and change your signature and add different links.  This will change the links on all the previous posts to your new signature.</p>
<p>Then go back and change your links again and make more comments.</p>
<p>This seems to bring up a red flag when you keep changing the links in your signature.</p>
<p><script src="http://forms.aweber.com/form/64/1171190964.js" type="text/javascript"></script></p>
<h2>What to do if you get Banned</h2>
<p><strong>The Warrior Forum Banned Me</strong><br />
I did not think too much of this until I tried to use the same profile that was banned at the Warrior forum to sign up for another unrelated forum.  I was banned from that forum before I even registered.  If you get an identity banned do not try to use it again.  Do not use the username or the email address again.</p>
<p><strong>What to do if you get Banned</strong><br />
First you will want to erase the cookies on your computer.  Then you will want to unplug your internet access modem.  With DSL if you turn it off and then back on in a couple of minutes you will get a new address.  With the  Bresnan service I have been using lately it has to be off for an hour or overnight before it changes my IP address.</p>
<p>Then do not use the Banned email or User name again.  They will associate your new IP with the old banned profile.  Getting your profile banned will get your email banned at other forums also.  How do I know this?  Some automated software I was using got several of my email addresses on some sort of Spammer Ban List.</p>
<h2>How Not to Get Banned</h2>
<p>The solution is to not get banned in the first place.  Go slow with making comments just a couple the first time you are at the new forum and then just a few the next time you are at the forum.</p>
<p>Add good comments to the forum.  Learn from the other posters on the forum and try to add good information.</p>
<p>Do not change your links in your signature.  You can skip putting links in your signature until you have visited the forum a few times.</p>
<h2>Build New Identities</h2>
<p>I do not post a lot with an identity.  I keep changing identities and email addresses that I am using so that if one of my emails does end up on a Spammer list I do not lose a bunch of forum identities and links.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have recently begun spending time building forum links to several of my sites.   I really like high PR rank forums that have a lot of activity.  These do not need to be in the same area as the website you are promoting.</p>
<p><strong>Forums Comment Posting&#8211;</strong><br />
I like the really large forums because your individual posts are not scrutinized.  Some of the smaller forums will look at all of your posts to see what is up.  The larger forums you are pretty much anonymous.</p>
<p>Some of the smaller forums the owners&#8211;administrators are really against us putting in links.  Go to the next forum when this happens.<br />
<strong><br />
Change Your Forum Signature</strong><br />
You can start by making comments without a Forum signature.  Then when you add a signature later you the forum will add your link to all the pages that you have made posts on.</p>
<p>I have started to always add a couple of comments on the forum after I have signed up and gotten my website in the profile page.  I usually put a couple of different websites in the signature page.</p>
<p><strong>Great articles on Blogging</strong></p>
<p>Here is a link to a great article and I read all of these blogs&#8212;usually when I am linking to a new site&#8212;all the sites have a ton of traffic and the links show up quickly.  I only link twice to a website from a blog&#8212;Sometimes I will come back and get more but i believe after the first two links from one site the rest are ignored.</p>
<p>http://www.viperchill.com/important-blogging-analysis/</p>
<p>After you read an article on one of these sites put up a link to one of your sites, then read another article and put up another link to that site, if you read another article put up another link but make it to a different website.  All of the websites he talks about in this article are top of the heap.</p>
<p><strong>Finding Forums</strong><br />
How do I find Forums to sign up for and post comments in.  First I just do a quick Google search and put &#8220;Bicycle Forum&#8221; or&#8221; Rodeo Forum&#8221; or&#8221; Skiing Forum&#8221;  as the search.  Then I take the top PR forum on the first page of the results and sign up.</p>
