I've heard people talk about SE optimized Articles, but what if you took you just took that content and made a thread out of it? I ask because my website is only a forum. So I was thinking of hiring people for SEO article writing and just posting those as a forum post? Would this yield the same results with SE?
Wouldn't count on it. In my experience, forums only ever yield great results in terms of redirecting through links. I haven't tried it myself though, so maybe it will work.
