How ofter do you post on blogs and forums and has that been enough to help you on traffic and backlinks?
Personally my daily SEO tasks include 10 forum postings as well as 10 blog comments. The forum posts tend to be outside of niche, for SEO education while the blog comments are always in niche
Practically everyday. it's either blog commenting or forum discussion. Sometimes, i use hubpages too. It's quite easier to find articles in Hubpages and make comments for backlinks purpose.
