This traffic has upside as well – these are highly targeted visitors who will be coming to your website.  Not only are they highly targeted, but there is no competition like there would be from getting visitors through search results.  They don’t have to wade through the results and decide whether to visit your site or someone else’s.  Instead they have read what you have to say, like what you have to say and want to read more.  Participating in forums is great for direct traffic and also great for link diversity.<div>
