What is crowd marketing?

Crowd marketing is a way of promoting a site in which links and mentions are placed on forums, in comments, reviews, and discussions, supposedly from "regular users". The main goal is to naturally embed a link in live conversation while also passing an SEO signal.


What crowd marketing does:

  • Creates natural backlinks;
  • Increases trust through recommendations from "real people";
  • Delivers traffic from places where the target audience is;
  • Strengthens brand presence in discussions.

Where it is placed:

  • Forums (for example, Reddit, niche communities);
  • Comments under articles and videos;
  • Reviews of products and services;
  • Q&A sites (like Quora or Stack Exchange).

Example:

"I also spent a long time choosing, settled on this company, they did it fast and cleanly: [link]"


Important: crowd marketing works if it looks natural. Blatant ads or spam links get removed quickly and can damage reputation.
