Folks,

Brad Fallon alerted me to a service that's pretty awesome. It's a tracking service, much like Tracerlock.com or Google Alerts, which track search engines for keywords and alerts you by email when a keyword or phrase comes up.

But this service is specifically for and about forums.

Called Forum search with BoardTracker.com, you can signup and be notified whenever a word is mentioned on a board or forum. I use Tracerlock.com for the same purpose, such as to alert me whenever my name or any of my sites/products are mentioned. But it only works with forums indexed in the engines.

I can't wait to see how it works.

Check it out:
Forum search with BoardTracker.com

You can use it to visit this forum whenever your name or a topic you're interested in (like "split-testing" or "headlines") is mentioned.

A tip: whenever I do research for copy I'm writing, it's always important to see what people say about it -- or how they talk about the problem your solving with your offer. (It's also a great way to gather testimonials and feedback.) So this tool might prove itself useful.
