Joining seller forums is a great way to get fabulous information on just about everything.
Also some (always look at posting rules!) allow promoting your sites, stores, blogs & more. Even if they don't allow any promoting... most allow signatures with your site address.
So here are a few that have been "a bucketload" of information & you can make friends at the same time.

The trick to finding forums you are interested in.... simply google your interest & forum or message boards. SAHMs.... WAHMs ... RVers .... Gardening .... Crafters .... pets ... dogs...
If you sell to a "targeted" group.... join in those groups too! And think outside the box.... if you are a travel agent, join some senior's or wedding groups. If you sell bath & body gift items, join "mom groups". You just never know who will be there & want to buy your "stuff". Google picks up those forums & the posts too!

To Twitter or Not to Twitter
I have 5 twitter accounts & am fairly new. But in the few months, I have learned a few things.
First... It IS a great way to get hits on your site.... as long as you follow a few of the following tips:
#1: DON'T Tweet incessantly... every 5 min... I will either NOT follow you or Unfollow you really fast.
#2: Don't be spamming constantly. If that's all you have to say, then I won't follow or Unfollow you.
#3: If you are having a "chat" with someone I don't follow.... then "get a room" LOL. "listening" to a one sided coversation is just plain irritating.
#4: If all you tweet about are news articles after news articles after news articles... again, I won't follow or I will unfollow!
#5: Now... everyone puts such a high priority on getting as many followers as possible & follow all of them in return. When someone new follows me, I click on their twitter & see how they tweet & what they tweet about. If I find #1 thru #4.... I just choose not to follow. Don't feel guilty. I don't want to see all the garbage & miss the good stuff that I'm intersted in.
