Are paid posts good for Forum Development?

[ksmith29]

I see a couple of services which provide forum postings in exchange of money. Is this really going to work to increase any community? I mean, if we stop paying then the post flow also stops then what is the benefit of it?

Actually paid forum postings are not an direct element of forum development they are an accessory. Suppose, you started a forum and had no one to post in your forum except you. And everybody knows that no one wants to join a forum which is empty. So, than you hire these services of paid posting so you forum gets come posts count and hence don't look empty content wise.

Paid posting or post exchange schemes are only meant to fill up your forum. It is highly unlike that the provide any value to your community.
