Personally, I'm not entirely convinced there is an market for a 'freelance forum' so chasing the 'webmaster forum' keyword is sensible.

I don't want to suggest that freelancing is a dying art but unfortunately I think it is true at a grassroots level. The market is overflowing with premium themes now so any budding entrepreneur looking to get online goes down this (much cheaper) path, as opposed to hiring an upcoming freelancer.

Sure the more established designers charging thousands for corporate level projects are thriving, but the little guy who charges a few hundred is being overlooked due to the cost and convenience of premium themes.

It is those little guys who are traditionally the ones that you would find on a place like TalkFreelance and instead of freelancing they are turning to running their own websites and blogs to make their 'pocket money'.
