Many years ago, I had a heated discussion with a guy on the Warrior Forum.
It was huge back then. Everybody who was into marketing was on the Warrior Forum. After lurking around for four years, I was there, too.
Participating actively every day.
It was good for traffic. You could practially post a comment and get visits to your blog just from that comment. Obviously, you had to leave your URL in your signature…
But it was all so easy back then.
