Forum links are natural or Not?

I have a Online Shopping Website. And I am using forum posting for Search Engine Optimization of this portal. I am using Signature link. Can this is the natural links or it is the unnatural link according to Google Guideline or New update Penguine.

These are good for my website or bad according to Google Penguin

 

After the new Penguin Update, forum links are considered a bit of a spam and have lost credibility.

 

HI

Forum link are natural for promote your website.

 

It should be natural. I have never heard about credibility stuff.

 

Its Natural but Nofollow , But keep in mind nofollow also good back link for traffic & Search ranking as well.

 

Not all. I have found couple of dofollow forums.

 

forum links are relatively easy to obtain, thus google has made them less valuable compared to hard coded links from actual websites.

 

All forum links are not consider as a spamming.

 

Usually the spam concern from forums comes from the forum admins and mods themselves, not search engines handing out penalties.

That said, pointing forum links to your main site is silly. It's both lost effectiveness and if you have a bunch of do-follow forum backlinks (either sig or profile) that you throw on your main site suddenly, you're going to get flagged for the amount of backlinks, but not really where they're from (unless it's a porn/gambling/pharmacy forum)

 

Forum links are Natural and it always helps you to promote your keyword ranking.

Thanks,

 

Yes, the signature link is absolutely natural. No worries over there pal.

 

Forum links are considered natural links. Links are only considered "unnatural" by search engines if you have a lot coming from sources that are not related to your site/niche.

Hope that helps. Have a good day!

 

I think that, forum posting are not for getting back links, It is only for sharing your views.

 

I feel that when it's considered spam is when you have all your anchor text the same in the forum posts. I don't use anchor text I just use a naked link. I have not gotten penalized at all

 

As long as you are naturally contributing... not being spammy, then they are natural!

 

Forum Posting links are natural for promoting your website. It is one of a white hat activities.

 

Yes absolutely, The forum links are very natural and it gives more quality backlinks to your website and also getting good traffic. No doubt on that go ahead with Forum Commenting and also you should focus on Blog Commenting which gives also effective to your website..

 

If you are doing white hat SEO...

 

yes Forum links are natural but "nofollow"

 

I think Forums links are high level links as compared to the other, and these are natural links too. You can collect your links by forum posting also because it is one of the activity of white hat search engine optimization off page technique..
