Hi I would like to know what the best 5 forums are for sig links? I want to join just 5 so I do not need more than than that. If anyone could provide the best 5 with links to them and page rank, that would be fantastic. As you can see, I'm already with Digital Point so I suppose I'm only looking for 4 more forums.
You can have 4 dofollow sig links on www.webmastersgossip.com just after 15 posts I am sure you are gonna love the forum.
I hope I dont get an infraction for this? www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk www.forums.digitalpoint.com Are the 2 that I frequent and find to be the best in terms of SEO and activity And of course you can have links in www.salesandmarketingforums.co.uk (only18 months old and getting well established with 3400+ members) I hope this helps Regards Dave
DP Sitepoint is no more DoFollow http://www.moneyfellas.com/forums/ http://www.v7n.com/forums/ http://forums.seroundtable.com/ http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/default.asp
And as a moderator there I can't be any happier that it's finally gone back to being "No Show" to the search engines and other guests.
site point is dying with most people there who know allot about SEO are going to other places, because its no longer worth it to post there, with just sharing information and getting nothing in return.
Dying? You must be kidding me. The SEO board is changing, but it's not dying. Besides, if you were around long enough, you'd remember that SitePoint used to have the same policy in effect that it does now - and it didn't die then. You people just need to stop chasing worthless links the way lawyers run after ambulances looking for their next meal ticket.
Thanks for the advice guys. Dan can you tell me why you have sig links on your posts if you think they are so worthless? Just seems strange to me that someone who thinks that they are not worth having has them on his own. why not leave it blank?
For me, I'm Looking for 100.000 member or more to join that forum, so you will get change create your signature link and get traffic
Here's a great list: http://www.tipsblogger.com/2009/06/list-of-100-do-follow-forums-to.html You better check the PR, but they are all DOFOLLOW. Some of the links are dead, but there are some great forums. For forum links you can think big - heck even Tyra Banks has a forum that is SUPER popular. Think Adobe, Macromedia, Microsoft...virtually any software has a forum and they havse some serious PR.
Do-Follow Programming, IT, Web Development, Web Design forum: http://www.infernodevelopment.com/forum Them making everything no-follow will only hurt their activity levels. I guess maybe, spam is less now, that's a good result from no-follow. But really large forums like DP and Sitepoint can be very spamful. That's why I prefer smaller forums usually. It especially sucks when moderators give you infractions for helping others.
submitexpress,v7n,sitepoint,webmaster-talk is a good forums that Google loves to index your sig/post.
They're not there for SEO purposes. They're there to help those who need assistance or want to learn more about those particular topics. When we switched to nofollow over at SitePoint, we did so for those with fewer than 100 posts to their credit. All that happened was people just threw up 100 pointless fluff "thanks me too" posts so they could get their 0.0000000001 PR (or whatever it is, depending on the number of links in the thread). We even tried blocking live links for those with fewer than 10 posts to curb spam. What happened? People would make ten "fluff" posts just to get a link in their post - which was usually spam to begin with. Turning off signature links for those who are not registered and logged in killed ALL of that and allowed the staff members (such as myself) to spend far more of our time helping the community we advise rather than cleaning up after the spammers. Any moderator who repeatedly infracts others for being helpful needs to step down, period. And if the forum admins allow that moderator to do it, then the forum needs to die. (Yes, I realize that some may consider my statement to include Digital Point.)
Yeah, but then again, I was someone who use to help in SP programming section, I don't go there any more, it has no benefit for me. Helping others directly doesn't benefit me indirectly like I use to think. I agree, I received an infraction for giving people a way to post their twitter accounts on a page and find other twitterers that talk about the same subject. They gave me a "inappropriate post/thread" infraction, I guess claiming that I was trying to give people stuff for free--Oh dear!!
THe best 5 are going to be ones that relate to your signature, might be different for different people.
Getting forum links is all good and well, but don't forget relevancy It's much better to get links from forums in your niche than to juts randomly get links from any high PR forum. It will also get you some nice traffic
