Would building backlinks to a forum post that is pretty good be a good way to get traffic to that post and have them see you links in the sig? Does anyone do this?
yep you get traffic and good quality backlinks gets your serps higher as well. Also do blog commenting long as you do it manually it shouldnt hurt your sight.
one more thing make sure they are do follow for good backlink otherwise google wont count it i think only yahoo does but not exactly sure.
Hi, Yes, i hear also that yahoo count no follow links but no one give exact answer and as i described already in a post here and repeating again that this can be reason that if you will watch number of backlinks in yahoo and google then yahoo will show more backlinks than google. Thanks
Your talking about promoting the forum post to strengthen your sig links right? If so, yeah it can work. I tend to drop links to the pages with my links on all the time. It works nicely, if you have access to links to do this. And dont expect masses of traffic unless your link is well targetted, I do this for link strength only DD
I do this from time to time.. But usually i don´t try to build my links at all.. Like DomainDomain said it´s mostly good for link strength.. They are only as good as the posts since most posts in areas like "buy sell trade" gets removed from time to time.
I agree with your answers, links should be dofollow and forum signature link help to gather good traffics.
forum posting is like building strong foundation to to your website or blog. although the effect on your PR is negligible, it helps so much in your SERP ranking.
Yes it will help, the thing about forums are that you really want to build a community around your forum so that it sustains itself.
A lot of people on this forum lol. Forums and Blogs within your niche are great ways to build traffic and links at the same time.
Yes, this works to some degree, but it doesn't work as well as it used to. If you want to get high rankings you will not be able to do so simply by forum posts. Yes. It is extremely common to find lots of people making useless posts in an effort to only acquire backlinks. This is not a good way to build links, but, nevertheless, many people still try it.
Forum posting for link building is one of the oldest (and still effective way) of building backlinks and traffic to your site/blog. Mix it with social bookmarking and link exchange to related site/blogs.
Yes, forums which are highly reputable helps you get traffic and if you contribute in them on regular basis you are really going to find the difference...But don't spam forums by posting irrelevant or sending bulk PM's..
Yes most probably every one you will find every member has 2-3 signature link pointing their website or blog this is for back link as well traffic if you focus on your related keywords topic it will give you more profit
Even the nofollow forums give a high traffic if we post regularly in them .. Do Follow forums are like gold .. we get traffic + backlinks..
Well, If you have an account in the relevant forum, then you can expect a good targeted visitors from there. Other webmaster forums are good to have reviews on the sites and other knowledge.
