I know there's a thread about this from a year or two ago, but I thought I'd start a more up to date one.

I've used two services before; MarkB's and postonmyforum.com. Mark's service was superb, but unfortunately he doesn't do it anymore. The posts from postonmyforum.com were very poor and it was clear that they were fake.

So, has anybody had any recent experience with a good posting service?

Cheers,
Mike

i used forumelves and they were very fast but the quality was horrible. They delivered on time but the quality was nowhere near good enough.

I used a guy who advertised on another forum offering a good price for 80 posts. I never got a confirmation and I sent him PMs for a few days then I wrote to just cancel the deal (luckily I didn't pay). A few days later I got a message that he got busy with something more important and would do it for free. He signed up on my forum and never posted anything. So if anyone knows a good posting service Please let us all know.

I've used http://www.inb0x.com/ - which I totally recommend (I think I found them in one of Chris' articles). I was dealing with Carrie and she was great - totally honest and up front... she told me that my forum was very specialist and only had a few writers up to the task - so we came up with a deal.

And another I used on the same forum was http://www.theforumfairy.com/ (They are based in the UK Mike) - I recommend these also.

Posting quality of both was excellent and everything purchased was delivered.

Work in which way?

They do provide a the service stated, making 'x' amount of new posts and adding to existing threads to give your forum a kickstart - but there is no guarantee that they will make your forum popular

Just with traffic and content I guess.

I don't think any forum posting service will guarantee traffic - but if your forum has 'on topic' posts already, provided by the Forum posting service - then people finding your site through other methods such as SEO will be more inclined to participate in your forum.

I contacted inb0x they said they don't have anyone with automotive knowledge so they are unable to do automotive forums. :(

Its better for them to let you know now rather than take your money and post crap IMO :)

I hate to hear that you had a bad experience with PostonmyForum. We would love to have another shot at your business. Based on the timing of your comments I think the business was in transition from one owner to the next.

So give us a shot and we promise to not disappoint you. Mention this thread and I will give you a 10% price break until the 20th of Feb. 2008.

I find forum posting servives a little wierd, no offence cutiger95.

I can see the value in them (getting forums started) and I am not even saying I would never use one if I was starting a brand new forum, but there is something that just feels wrong about it.

cutiger95, I am curious - what are the prices for forum posting services?

I like them for starting brand new forums. It does help, and does work.

I tried 3 of those services 2 years ago, and none of them delivered as promised. Most of the posts they did were very short and meaningless, and they did nothing to help my forums.

Forum posting costs vary by the number of posts that you are looking for on your given forum.

For a 100 post run we traditionally charge $37

For 300 posts, the charge is $97

For 1000 or more posts, the charge is $288/1000.

In all honesty you would truly be suprised by the number of forum sites and community sites that are started by our services and those like us. The issue has always been if someone shows up at a forum with no information in the forum, why are they going to stay?

The big thing is that when you hire POMF to run posts you need to have traffic incoming into the forum. If our posters are the only traffic you have then your overall forum life is going to be simply a bunch of different search pages with no native traffic when we finish.

The problem with starting a new forum is that it is a double edged sword. Nobody will post on a empty board but you need someone to post first. This is where forum posters come in handy, they can get your forum filled up with posts. The problem is, you have to be careful because if you do not hire someone with quality, you end up with a bunch of crappy post.

I recently started doing forum posting to earn a little extra money. I do short term posting so not to overload myself and cause my quality to go down. I charge $5 for 25 posts and I will only do topics I feel like I can do good posts in.

I recently put an order into inb0x. The paypal page went wrong so I couldn't pay, but I did put the order in, hoping they'd get back to me. I didn't hear anything for a couple of days, so I filled in their form and asked them to get back to me. Again, heard nothing :-(...

Which is a shame as I too have heard good things about them ...
