    My favorite way to get quick, fast SEO done and get some good framework for my site is by article & video marketing. I'm not that good at ranking videos, but just having one and letting it sit there gives it link juice because you have a link to your website on a high authority site that google trusts (YouTube).

    You also write 3 articles based around one keyword with 15k-75k monthly searches. Stick to lower with medium competition if you're newer, or you can go higher with high competition if you're a little more seasoned. Focus on one keyword every 2 weeks.

    You post those articles and you also spin them -- http://www.matthewwoodward.co.uk/tutorials/the-ultimate-guide-to-tiered-link-building-part-1/]Matthew Woodward has some amazing tutorials about this exact method here: MatthewWoodward.co.uk/tutorials/the-ultimate-guide-to-tiered-link-building-part-1[/url] . No affiliation. He advertises a lot of great programs in the video that are really worth it if you can afford it, but if you can't there are slightly cheaper alternatives. You may need to find cheap or free programs that only do one thing at a time, but this can really cut costs. I do almost everything manually myself, and after I see it be successful in a certain niche I start building up Tier 3 links.

    Once you've gone through at lesat your first two weeks focusing on a medium competition keyword with as close to 30k searches as possible, start collecting a list of forums and make sure you organize them. I prefer to use a multi-columned excel sheet.

    In Column 1, I list the name of the Forum
    In Column 2, I list the PR of the Forum
    In Column 3, I list the URL of the Forum

    Then, I have a separate documents for EACH forum. In this document I list it as so:

    NAME OF FORUM
    Title Of Post I've Made | Link To The Post | # Of Posts Thread Has | # Of Uniques From Post | Date
    -blank if it's about the same post- | -blank if it's about hte same post | Updated # Of Posts Thread Has | # Of Uniques From Post | Date

    I make it so I can sort any of the columns, so I can specifically sort by highest number of uniques a post generated. Then I check to see what elements are in my post -- was it controversial? Was it funny? Did something about it go viral? etc. etc. so I can continue to repeat the same technique.

    When forums consistently perform at less than 50% of the average, I stop posting there because it's personally not worth my time. However, it could possibly be worth it to outsource posting to other employees and delegate the responsibility.

    Generally, my best performing forum posts in every niche I can think of have been posts to current news events. The more controversial the better, but just general stats and info works as well.

    For SEO forum posting, what I would say is contribute to the forum, use only relevant and quality forums, you can use your website link in signature which would give you benefit in SEO and traffic.

    Think of forum posting or blog commenting as a way of reaching out and helping your target market, instead of a link building method. You need to share your ideas, try your best to help and support your fellow forum members, and in turn, you will earn a good rep for your self and your site. Make sure that you have a link to your site on your forum signature as that is how your fellow forum members can get to your site and know you more.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    Well, forums are good place of learning too, if you are posting in forums then you would be getting some benefit to your website which you have used in signature + you learned a lot of new things, so it keeps you updated in the industry.

    Here are some rules of mine:
    1. Don't duplicate the content. (Don't copy-paste one and the same in different forums. Be unique.)
    2. Diversification. (Don't post only in one kind of forums. For example if you post something in forums like https://forums.digitalpoint.com, then you can post in some different like http://animalforum.com, for example...)
    3. Avoid the bad forums. (You know some links could be harmful for your site/-s.)
    4. Be useful for the community. (Don't just spam.)
    5. Be active in the community.
    6. Do not quarrel.
    7. Respect the admin's and moderator's actions.
    :)

    in forum always post something that contributes to the original post. Try to help out and be genuine about it. and of course use your own websites in the signature link
