Forums like this one are fast becoming great sources of traffic. This is because forums exist for virtually any topic. So whatever you are selling, rest assured your target market congregates somewhere online.
The best way to find these forums is through the search engines.
For example if you are selling,
1)cat food you would do a search for Cat forums,
Google=Results 1 - 10 of about 5,270,000 for Cat forums
2)Selling motorcycle parts search-motorcycle forums Google=Results 1 - 10 of about 924,000
3)Used Cars serach for used car forums etc use your imagination.
google=Results 1 - 10 of about 4,200,000 for used car forums
I have a website that sells a mortgage system. I used the forum posting method to market it as soon as i put it up. This means making useful posts in relevant forums.
The website is :Click me
the keywords are
Mortgage Cycling
keep in mind i have never submitted this site to any search engine
Goto :
www.google.com
www.msn.com
www.yahoo.com
and search for mortgage Cycling any listing that looks like this
"Mortgage Cycling or Second Mortgage - Mortgage cycling" is my post.
good luck

There are so many forum software so is it suppoting all kind of forum?
The most difficult things if we do not interack directly to the forum is the forum rules!
Each forum has different rules for posting also different rules applied to the signature. Even sometimes we only allowed a number of posting for each period. I dont think this can be managed automatically by the softwares.
There is also some FREE softwares available, I have tried but then found it is not much help.

I have the forum posting software but I found it easier to use roboform to help me sign up and fill out forms. Every forum is different and you cannot just post the same ad to each one. I find I am better off just visiting the different forums and trying to enter into the discussions.

Oh no, a forum spammer has called me a negative individual. My life is over, I'm off to slit my wrists.
1) If you're going to spam forums you're a slimy b*****d and all the flawed and irrelelvant analogies won't change that.
2) So you've proved your software can inlcude a link! Wow it must be high tech, can I buy three?
It's ironic that you say "the fastest way to become recognized as an expert in your field is to contribute helpful and valuable posts on a regular basis in the forums that your target market hangs out in" and then proceed to provide an unhelpful, worthless spam post to a forum that isn't your target market.
