So someone told me about a big reason why he's on page 1 for a particular keyword after a really short period - he's getting 10,000 backlinks a month from an automated software that creates forum profiles. Can anyone confirm or deny if forum profiles help with SEO? Thanks.
Interesting, but I think it might actually do more harm than good. 1.) Google might catch on to what you are doing and sand box you for trying to 'trick' their system. 2.) Most forums are actually no-follow so all of those links don't actually count in terms of SEO.
bad idea! Google will find out and they will punish you. It may be a good short term solution, but it will harm you greatly in the long run. My advice, steer clear of these black hat techniques
