How important is forum links?

    Hi,

    As I'm in forum then I wanted to know all of your's views on forum back links. How important is it.

    What if you use only forums for building links, would it be beneficial for your site?

    I think getting forum links is not so easy but if you learned it well and you have good writing quality then you may build good links from forums also.

    How do you ensure quality of links, if you are building links using forums?

    At forums, you should have links at your signature - when they are allowed. This is how someone may click on your link and visit your website.

    Even for simply signing up in a forum and having a profile with your links, you already improve your website’s ranking.

    However, you have to look for forums with a high PR – Page rank

    Look for more information about this matter online because it’s somehow complex.

    Forum links are worthy if it's from high page ranked forums. Well these backlinks are as important as the other sites.

    Links from the forums are very important due to the fact that Google trusts more to these links. All you have to do is to make it natural. Tons of links with the same anchor from one forum won't be beneficial like one link from different forums and different anchor text. The second option is natural.

    Forum links can still work perfectly fine. Use them on your buffer sites, and do not link to much of them directly to your moneysite.

    Also vary your anchor text often.

    Nice post friend. I agree with your opinion. But when the signature link is going to "no follow" link, I think that so hurts. However, just write the nice thread and posting will be more valuable in the forum. especially in high PR forum.. :)

    Not much, depends on many things, on the traffic of the site, how is Google indexing it, as a spam forum or not. The rank does matter, but don't let it lead you. Forum links most often are dofollow, but, even the spam areas. In general, it depends on Google, how does it see the forum, even if your post is relevant to the topic if Google sees the forum as a spam area your links won't have the same weight as in some other site.

    Despite of Google Panda update, I think forum posting is still an effective way of building links to our websites.

    Forum posting is still worthwhile if the forum has good page rank and trust with Google. The nice thing about forums is that you can target specific keywords in your anchor text. Just don't over do it, take your time and be involved with the community and forum over time, giving quality responses and information.

    Yes forum links are very helpful in getting good position in search engine, most of the forums are dofollow on the other hand you can find forums in almost every niche, you can also get targeted visitors to your site from forums as well.

    You need no-follow links for your websites’ linkbuilding because this is natural and Google likes natural things. When you have only do-follow links, your websites’ ranking is not as good as when you have both: many do-follow, and also a few no-follow ones.

    By forum posing you put your link as your signature. It will surly help you to increase traffic to your website but remember only forum posting is not enough you should use other techniques to get higher PR and traffic. As your link publicly display here so it is also important.
