".... it's probably better to be active in a forum, be a helpful and regular contributor and, over time, you and your books will get noticed."
I got the impression too, that the forums are used for self-promotion in general.
Many members use the cover of the last book as an avatar like an ad. Often you find the link to his/her books as a footer (like: new novel now available at smashwords/amazon for 4.99 $), sometimes even with a gallery of covers. Often I wonder, why he/she has posted a comment (like: Ditto!) and then I think it's only because of self-promotion and the author could drop the link again.
Apparently it's helpful: "From the threads alone I think I've purchased close to 20 titles."
