Hi there, I need some advice from experienced SEO experts. I'm new to the SEO business and I'm currently looking to promote my sites. I'm wondering if getting more backlink from forum could help improve my websites' Page Rank or Traffic? How does it work? I'm doubting that backlink to forum discussion topic will only help improve the PR and traffic of the forum...
If what you're posting to the forum is relevant then you'll stand more than a snowball's chance in Hell of getting any traffic to your site. Other than that, they're essentially useless for ranking and SEO purposes. THESE links on the other hand... http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=12104573#post12104573
All links that go back to your site can be helpful. If you place relevant content and the post sticks, you have a good backlink.
Read some of the other threads, there's a lot of really usefull info out there. Basically, you need to start building links asap if you want to improve your ranking, get more traffic and make more money...
It is not going to help you much if you bring links from forum Signature. It will be better if you start working on building Normal links.
forums are a great way to achieve links to your website. In most forums like Dp you are allowed to have a signature and in your signature you can put a link to your website. You will still get credit if the forum is not related to your website. But, it gonna help u with the general traffic in any case.
