Hi All,

In aid of helping all members to get the best results from using the forums, I've included a few pointers below;

Upload an Avatar:

Remember that networking is all about building high quality relationships with others. Having a profile picture ensures that people can recognise you or your brand when you use the forums. It’s hard to feel like you are building a relationship with a greyed out silhouette!

Complete your Profile Information

Whenever you post on the forums people can click on your name to see all of your details such as your business information, website address, twitter username, and contact details. By neglecting to fill out this information you are robbing yourself of the opportunity to tell members about yourself and your business. Updating your profile information can be done by simply clicking on the "User Control Panel" link at the top left of the screen.

Add a Signature

One of the greatest features of The Business Circuit forums is that you have the ability to add a "dofollow" link to you website in your forum signature. This is an incredibly powerful tool, and is one of the main reasons why a lot of people use forums to build awareness of their businesses. Google (who have over 65% market share in the search engine world) heavily rely on using "link popularity" to determine your websites position in search rankings. The more relevant backlinks you have to your website the higher it will be ranked in search results. By placing a link in your signature, you are building a high quality backlink to your website every single time you post a comment.

So now that you have these pearls of wisdom, act on them, and start building greater awareness of your business today.
