Forums are magnificent for several reasons, especially if you're marketing in a niche area. Because many people can visit them, you can include affiliate links or your own products on each page or message. Additionally, you can configure your boards to include Google Adwords and Google Adsense as well!

A great targeted ebook on this is:

How To Start A Forum - The book that teaches: Which software should I use? Would it be better to utilize an off-the-shelf forum service? How much will I need to pay (or can it be done for free)? Even once established, how should I go about promoting and driving traffic to my new discussion board? How should I moderate or control my forum? What ground rules should I set? Can this really turn into a worthwhile or profitable tool for me? And more.

Enjoy!
