    Absolutely forum posting is a great way to get high quality backlinks, but before posting check that forum's page rank at search engine.

    Forum posting will really help in getting backlinks. But it helps when it gets crawled. Secondly, high PR forums and the forums where more visitors come and updation is more will be more beneficial.

    Backlinks from forum posting does count. Just keep in mind a few things.

    1. Forums generate a lot of out going links and don't pass a lot of link juice through.
    2. Back links appearing in posts with similar content will carry more weight, thus more relevant.
    3. If the thread it self is of high quality and content, it will appear in Google results, people will link to it, will show up in social media, giving the thread authoritative value and increasing the relevancy of your backlink.

    yes, it will help but it not giving you much juice.
    Forum is the place to learn and share, backlink is just a "bonus"

    It would appear totally unatural for your website to only have forum links pointing to it... Google prefers natural links

    Diversification plays an important role in your link building campaigns... blogs, directories, social networks, forums, web 2.0 etc

    Plus it is important to continue aquiring links on a regular basis... you don't want to get a ton of links right off the bat and then just stop, you need to add them continuously

    Yes forums links will of course give you backlinks. But the real question is, will it give quality backlinks?
    Compared to other backlink techniques, forum posts backlinks are not that good.
    The best you can do is optimize the anchor tag, post in relevant topics to your website, and post to multiple forums not only one.
    This will surely help in increase the quality.

    Posting Forums is one of the best way to gain more back links. You have to post the forums having high PR to the related topic of your site. Only then the quality back links can be obtained. other related techniques to gain backlinks are the Bookmarking, Directories,etc..

    My answer to the TS is ABSOLUTELY YES! AS long as the forum where you post your backlinks is related to your site and it must be high ranked.
