You need to decide if you are doing this directly for new members (maybe a long way off in the future) or whether you just want loads of exposure to build a brand up without really actually giving anything away that you don't want escaping.

Once you are looking at these forums you can also accidentally be reporting other peoples links of your stuff to rapidshare etc which will both kill off the uploads and the other posters reputation - especially if they post something in 3 parts and you keep reporting part 3 of all of their uploads


You need to behave like a normal member of their forum. Post the same way with screenshots and rapidshare/hotfile/etc links to an upload of samples not to something on your own server.

Rar or zip file:

• sample vid or picture set
• .nfo file full of whatever text you would like someone to read - subtle teasing not obvious selling
• readme file with same text
• internet shortcut to a page you want them to go to with an enticing title. Loads more porn here is good paysite tour here is bad

It all needs to be done with nothing making you look like you are directly promoting the site or letting people think you are in any way connected to the site. Those types of forums have a very strict sharing based idea of things so if they think you are trying to profit off of them they will delete everything you post.

If you are going to bump your shit you need multiple accounts and make sure you swap ip too.

As well as posting on the forums you can put your forum post onto sites like katz.cd/submit and phazeddl.com/submit.php or gotphaze.com/submit which will get extra traffic to your forum posts. put the katz (or other site) button in your sig or at the end of your post. You can find forums to post on by looking through the existing stuff listed.
