I've been thinking about something like this lately too. Join lots of forums that relate to the product you have, then use your signature to push your product... like the signature I use on every forum I'm a member of. DON't spam the product in the actual post, just in your signature. THEN.... go through the forums and post a new topic that will draw in lots of attention... say, like in an automotive forum I would Post a thread like "Hot Chicks and Our Cars, Official PIC thread!" and post a short message about how we all like our cars and we all like hot chicks, so lets see your pics! and post a pic to start it off.
I've seen this in a couple of car forums I'm a member of, and have seen that thread survive on the front page of the forum section for months upon months, more than a year for one of them and have 100's of thousands of views.
So, technically, I don't consider this spamming. You're participating in a forum, not PUSHING your product directly, but making your product known by using your signature.
Am I spamming right now? Seeing how my signature leads to a product I sell?
Maybe I am now, since I've told you to look at it, but hey, you looked didn't ya?
