Hi Guys, I have a question in my mind about forum posting. How much forum posting is useful in terms of SEO (or in terms of google)? and How much importance of backlinks from forums? Are these backlinks counted as good backlinks? How much forum posting is useful to get good ranking in SE as compare to other link building methods? Please reply your thoughts and experiences about forum posting. I will appreciate your replies. Thanks...
This topic has been discussed earlier. Maybe you run a search and find the earlier topics. Getting back to your question. Yes links from forum links do help. One of my site has good PR2 from links from forum signatures alone. Also it helps in improving your rankings. SticKer
Forum sigs are great as long as they are do-follow, otherwise posting in high traffic relevant forums is great for getting targeted traffic to your site! Good Luck!
I got my PR3 page mostly from forum posts, because it doesn't really get that much direct or search traffic.
If you want to be fast indexed with google than you just put it in singatures. And it helps with backlinks.
The trick is that the more you post, the better the chances are for you to end up with a page with high PR. So you get an automatic backlink. Best is to go for dofollow forums.
It's easily possible for google to identify signature links. The vbulletin software for example leaves a footprint, the <!-- sig --> html comment tag. Any link found between this comment tag on a site running vbulletin can be devalued. That being said, signature links do show up in webmaster tools as well as link: query on google. As long as the forum is related to your website, it's sure to send some targetted direct human traffic.
Well is not just backlink in terms of seo but also some targeted traffic. If you regularly post in forum there is a higher chance that the spider while crawl your site often. Maybe you should find at least 5 good forum where you could make your regular stop.
It helps . all the links are natural links . All the links are indexed and you get more traffic more over google is giving a great consideration to these backlinks mainy from DP
Now you're telling me something! I didn't even know that some forums don't appreciate your posts to the extent of giving you "no follow" links in return. My ignorance!! How good of them!!! Myself, I've got some high quality links from a few forums where I contribute to posting and moderation. And Google and Yahoo are taking notice.
Signatures are great because they count as backlinks and also they send a very little amount of traffic which sometimes can benefit.
I love Signature links because I drive google bot to visit my website more often and get index faster.
you can see the potential value in forum posting. While there are a number of facets that go into increasing traffic to a blog, links remain one of the most important aspects.
I second to this,,, Forum sites with high PR,, and if you got good reputation then i would say chill...
