Link development via Forums

    Overall, how effective is having your backlink in a forum (such as on your profile page)? Would it be effective and worthwhile
    to sign up for virtually every forum in your niche and put your website link in your profile?

    Of course you'd be contributing to the forums too.

    How about putting link to your site on forums that are not related?

    Please help

    I can best answer your question by posing one. Does adding links to forum profiles serve to make your site actually relevant? The answer is no of course.

    hope that helps,
    Nigel

    Forum spamming is not recommended.

    Forums have a thousand other guys showing their links as well. So Simply there is no major benefit from it. It's more of a as you go along linking technique
