I like forum signatures because of the ease of creating them and also article backlinks. For me directory links have been a waste of time with little results. Unless you are a local business trying to gain rank in SERPs or in GMaps I don't see much use to it anymore.
I agree with above. Articles seem to be best. BUT - You need diversity. So you also want to have a great list of your secret spots for high PR links (do follow of course).
Do you prefer same article to different sites or different articles to each of the article databases?
I do them all but article submission may be the best as it will be there longer than these other otions.
So far blog commenting and articles leading.. But I think press releases are much powerful than articles.. Also link building through forums.
Verdecove, Even I believe that forum posting is very powerful. But you are not supposed to spam. If this works you will get good benefits..
article submission as well as blog commenting seem to reel in the most results as far as i can see. Especially when there are so many tools out there now to make getting the best links with these methods searching for DoFollow links etc.
Madison, I don't think that forum signatures can bring as much as traffic like articles or press releases can bring. But they are strong backlinks. It seems most of the guys choose article submission as the best method for link building. !P
I know what forum posts are good for and I assume you were thinking I was spamming in this thread because I left two very short replies which is unusually for me if you want to follow my posts a bit. But maybe you will get my point when I tell you why I did. See, someone throws a reply in here like forum posts are goof for backlinks, well, I'm still a NOOB myself but have learned quite a bit from this forum within only 6months. So if I post something then why not also to include a few points that tells the why it is good, what's the advantage or benefit or what is not?

Yes, exactly right.. Also I think experts use some other methods too for search engine optimization, Which are not there with our list.
