Does "Forum Posting Backlinks" Still Work?

    I am now using these seach queries for finding related forums:

    “Your Keyword” “powered by phpbb” inurl:/forum
    “Your Keyword” “powered by phpbb” inurl:/community
    “Your Keyword” “powered by vbulletin” inurl:/forum
    “Your Keyword” “powered by vbulletin” inurl:/community

    And then I include the "signature link" back to my site's index page.

    I know it's old SEO strategy, but it still works for me. How about you?

    These are low-quality backlinks

    These are no more effective these days but still forum plays an important role.

    Yes, they are still effective.. They are surely going to get you backlink as well as drive traffic
