This, and your first forum post, read like copy/paste articles from a blog. You even say it's a blog post in your last forum post.

It will be better for you if you participate in the forum and view it as somewhere to build relationships. I highly suggest you write more naturally and treat the forum like a community.

My first impression of you came from this post, not from your website, so...

Don't waste your time. This is a freelancer hired by a fly-by-night company to "Participate in online forums and discussion boards where your target audience is active" in the hopes that we'll make our way back through his profile to their site and become customers of their spam service.

I made this mistake too with some of my posts. It just doesn't come across the same as if you're just treating it like natural communication

I'm hoping it drives conversation about how not to approach communities. If OP made a genuine mistake then I hope it helps them, but my gut says you're right Lex.

Sounds like AI generated nonsense, a lot of words but nothing said. Thread has been edited to reflect its real value, reReport if backlinks are added.

Yes, you are correct that building a solid online brand for your company must come before building a website. You must then use adverts to draw viewers, <link removed>, photos, etc. However, your website's layout and original content come first. Making follow-ups with clients will be beneficial.

Red flags for me are when people say "you must", "you need", and "you should".

Curious if you read the rest of this thread?

PS: I removed your link. Kinda taken aback that you dropped one in this thread.

That is the same dude, part of a one two punch in spamming forums.

I thought so too, but the IPs don't match.
