Being a link builder, i am happy many time when my works shows its result Perfectly. Last week i just shared a newly launched bookmark site in this dp. That site is hosted same day. they didn't do any process to get index. even they dont like to get index real soon. But the site which i shared, it got index in the date which site is hosted. i understand that a single post is enough to catch. Did you get any experience like this?
Ya........posting on forums with a link in your signature cold result in quality backlinks that improves the popularity and overall search engine ranking of your website.When the search engine crawls and your link is detected, it provides you with many backlinks.So,to get backlink, single post is also enough.
Yes, and microblogging profiles with your signature too (twitter, identi.ca anda lot more) and using google webmaster tools will also get your site indexed in hours
Forum Posting is one of the Effective way to get strong backlink and increase the SERP of Particular keywords..
Search engines always look for new websites. Even one backlink can help to get index in search engines.
To bad I can not find any forum posters willing to contribute without trying to rape the forum. some are only on the forum to drop a link, and run off like a little girl...those are worthless people, and will never bring you much of anything to your forum.
If you have a post with a signature link, google will see one link; but what if you have 100 posts with 100 signature links, google will see 100 links? or just one?
@dscurlock very well said. never try to spam a forum. instead contribute to it and in return add your links to your signature.
Forum posting is not only good for backlinks but for some traffic as well. If you are supporting related forum to your niche you can expect many visitors as well.
Yes, i am totally agree with you that the participation in forum really works and it creates good back-links for our website.
I think when your website is well optimized it easily get Google indexing. No doubt quality back links also play an important role in website indexing and high positioning. So, on page and off page both are important.
Though am a newbie, yet I strongly believe active participation in forums increases your chance of being listed in search engines as SE indexes forums faster.
