I have to admit, I used to think this way. My perception of forums was a simple one. People who went to xyz forum went to no other forum and therefore, anything you did at xyz forum would only be seen by people who went to that forum and would never spread to any other forum. Oh how wrong I was. In the world of forum participation, especially in the Internet marketing niche, word spreads like wildfire. In this article, I’m going to tell you a little story about just how true this is.

A forum where I like to hang out a lot, the Warrior Forum, a member there ran a Warrior Special Offer. This is an offer for a product that they own at a price lower than anybody can get outside of the forum. That’s what makes it a special offer. Well, this person did two things that we quite dumb. The first thing was putting up some fake income screen shots. These were immediately caught by folks who know what to look for. To cover up his deception, he took the screen shots down and replaced them with new ones. But here is where it gets good.

Realizing he had been caught, he figured he might as well get what he could out of this special offer. So what does he do? He takes the special offer and runs it on another forum. Well, this now becomes a not so special offer does it. What he probably didn’t count on was members of the Warrior Forum actually being members of this other forum. Well, they were and they caught him in yet another screw up. These two acts combined got him banned from the Warrior Forum.

Yes, it is indeed a small world out there. If you think you’re marketing in a bubble at your favorite forum, think again. The wrong move you make at xyz forum can very well follow you all over the Internet.

To YOUR Success,

Steven Wagenheim
