Once you've found an appropriate forum to post in, the bestpost would be a simple invitation to your site with a very brief,non-salesy description of what someone might find there. Save yoursales pitch for when visitors arrive at your site.Commercial-sounding posts are frowned on in almost all onlinecommunities, except for the posting boards reserved for commercialannouncements. Your announcement will get lost in the noise oncommercial boards so it's best to let your Web site do thetalking and your post do the inviting of the right audience.
