Wealthy Affiliate Insider

The Wealthy Affiliate forum is the heart of the Wealthy Affiliate community. It is where people go to get their questions answered, seek support and chat about the latest developments in internet and affiliate marketing. 

The forum is comparable to other quality forums such as the Warrior Forum but since it is a private forum members feel a lot closer and more comfortable in sharing information.

There is also a wealth of notable posts bursting at the seems with quality information that could make you money or make a difference in your marketing efforts.

This month, the forums went through an overhaul to add or merge sections that were being requested by members. Below, I'm going to give you a peak at some of these forums and some of the gold available within them.

This forum, formerly the WA Success Forum, as the name suggests is where members can go and post their successes with their marketing. I can be your first sale or your first $100 day to being #1 on Google. 

Success posts are added by members every single day attesting to the effectiveness of Wealthy Affiliate's training.

Here's a brief sampling of some of the most recent successes:

• Another First Sale Story - kmdguy
• 1st Clickbank Check! Pic Too! - cld111
• Hit First $1000 Goal Since Joining WA 6/21/09 - WildwindE

The General Marketing forum is the main discussion area for marketing topics. This is quite a busy forum with topics ranging for affiliate networks, CPA, backlinks, etc. One of the reasons for the new forum overhaul is because there were topics that were talked about more than others that needed their own forum.

Some recent topics in this forum:

• EA waging war on Affiliates - this topic discusses EzineArticles.com's recent policy changes on authors who submit content as part of their affiliate marketing campaigns. 
• Amazon links question - A user gets help with Amazon's associates program. 
• Should I Bail on this Niche? - A member seeks help on a very important decision.

This is one of the newly added forums requested by users as article marketing is one of the most discussed topic on Wealthy Affiliate. Sample discussions include:

• Increasing your Article CTR's - helpful answers include suggestions to this often overlooked problem on getting bio box clicks.
• Squidoo - HELP, my lens won't get indexed!! - I'm sure there is a reason and a solution. Members help out a Squidoo user.
• Where Is Your Best Place To Outsource Article Writing? - A question about taking article marketing to the next level. He could always use WA Jobs. 

PPC is another widely discussed topic on WA and this forum is a merge of the old Google Adwords Discussions and Google Adwords Campaign Management forums. All topics concerning Google Adwords go here.

Sample topics:

•  Newbies: AdWords Graveyards Littered With Your Souls! - Travis Sago warns PPC users about the dangers of some niches. A great read if you don't want to 'lose your shirt' early in the PPC game.
• 1000+ Impressions.. 1 Click-Through = 0.1% Ouch! - He's obviously doing something wrong but by asking he's sure to learn what he should fix. 
• First adwords campaign ???? - A member gets help with their first Adwords campaign.

They're just as important as Google Adwords when trying to expand a profitable campaign. Discussions for advertising on these networks come under this brand new forum which was formerly only for Yahoo Search Marketing discussions.

Sample discussions:

• Yahoo SEM webinar - A member shares a great webinar with the community.
• Very very very confused with Yahoo PPC - A member is about to get some clarifications about this search network. 
• Yahoo content advertising -  Question about advertising on the Yahoo Content Network.

These are just some of the sections that are contained on the Wealthy Affiliate forum. There are also the private Niche Q forums, WA Product affiliate forums, archived forums, an offtopic forums, feedback forums and one for member recommendations.

The Wealthy Affiliate forum is a great place to discuss internet marketing. Of course, there are also a lot of great free forums (I'm a member of some of them) but you also have a lot of great marketing and networking tools, resources and training available free to members that you would otherwise have to pay for.
