Time to analyze another traffic generation strategy: using forum signatures. At the bottom of this post you will find links to all the previous parts on the series, and stay tuned for future ones, we are going to cover literally all of them!
The concept: Online forums are as old as the Internet, and despite being around for a long time, they are still a popular destination for Internet users that want to get specific questions answered, find solutions for their problems, or simply to socialize with other people that are interested on a specific topic.

WP TagAds is a brand new Plugin lets you display eBay ads in a manner that is stylish and non obtrusive on your
WordPress blog. Ads that will display through your Plugin are “pulled” based on the post tags within your individual posts.
If eBay doesn’t serve ads you like, all you need to do is change your post tags some and that’s it. The ads will be displayed on your blog via a neat sidebar widget which allows you to place the ad wherever you like on your blog.
Obviously you will need to have widgets enabled on the blog (meaning you have to use them).
But before you rush to get the

eBay Partner Network for free.

While some bloggers do prefer to use paid WordPress themes (myself included) for branding purposes, many of these free themes are great and even though I use a paid theme on my major blogs, I also use free themes on my other blogs.
The more I think about it, those clean, predominantly white spaced themes lend themselves really well to blogging about
simple things. Zen style blogs are all the rage as of late and everywhere they surface they seem to attract a huge amount of followers. After all, blogging about the simplistic aspect of life does help us to slow down and smell the roses.

Raman commented on the post “
Linkbacks from High PR Blogs“, saying that the blog compiling the list was suspended by Wordpress.com. A year ago, doing a review in exchange for a linkback was the rage. Until the google smackdown in July/August. So that list is probably redundant now.
The “in” thing to get free linkbacks now is posting comments on high PR blogs, preferably with dofollow. So here are some complied lists (dofollow not guaranteed):
While you can be lazy and post thank-you-i-love-your-blog one liner type comment, it is recommended that your comments be relevant to the blog post. Less the author delete your half-hearted attempt.
