Do you think forum and blog posting work for SEO ?

Discussion in 'Google' started by nadalbg, Nov 10, 2008.

    I am posting regulary in forums and blogs that are Do Follow.
    But today I read one article where someone says google doesnt count these links in blogs and forums.
    I am a bit worried I am wasting my time, because my concern is mainly for Search Engine Optimization. So I ask here maybe something that a lot of people has asked, but I want opinion from people that work on backlink building that way if it works for them.

    Hello,

    Google counts every link that is inbound to your website, then their algorithm determines what weight that links gets and adds it to the total value of your website. Google stated that no link pointing to your website can harm your website in rankings. As for the forum and blog links, these should count better as long as the forum/blogs are on the same topic of your website.

    Hope this helps

    You're not wasting your time. :D Posting to forums and blogs that are do follow is a great strategy to boost search engine ranking. Don't believe articles that says search engines don't count it as a link. But take note, forums and blogs must be related to your niche. Getting links from high pr site that are related to your niche would be better.

    If you could do it the right way, it will be helpful. Relativeness and fast indexing should be observed...

    I feel posting in forums is a great way to build links. It should not be your only method thou. Incorporate article marketing, blog commenting, blogging etc. More links pointing to you from different venues the better.

    To improve the search engine ranking of your website it is important to get as many one-way links to your site as possible. The more one-way links with niche keywords, the higher your search engine ranking.Building a one-way link is time-consuming. Now you can get hundreds of links coming back to your site for your niche keyword with our complete link building package. The package includes directory submission, article submission, social bookmarking, DMOZ submission, and search engine submission

    I find that do-follow blog links are a lot more valuable than do-follow forum links personally.

    Google knows what a forum is from other pages. That is why page posts and last author now shows up in google search results. As a result, google discounts forum signature links. They also discount blog comment links.

    It's never mind whether I think or you that forum/blog posting is working for seo or not. When Google thinks Forum/Blog posting is necessary for SEO then my answer will be YES and if Google'll don't like forum / blog posting then my answer will be NO for your asked question. But till today......my answer is YES. :)

    every links count as back links, but depend on quality, so we don't know how google check link weight.we can do keep on building links from same niche.

    My dear that is not true. You are not wasting your time by posting on forum and so many people are doing forum and blog posting which are dofollow, for gaining backlinks to their site and it works.
