Effectiveness of Forum posting

Forum posting/commenting is a great way to -build links for a site. The trick of this process depends on your execution strategy.  Most of the good back links come from forums. So, directly or indirectly you will get visitor/users from forums. I think getting a back link to you from a good post of a high authority forum site is called a quality forum back link.

Here is a little guidance on How to do forum?

Collect lists of theme relevant site/domain with high domain authority. If the forum site is not your niche, I don’t think it will be valuable for you or your site. After collecting your list of forum sites, check the activity of that forum site. Make sure the site has current and frequent activities Or not? And another point is, is that forum site is providing follow link? These are the suggestions you need to check out.

If everything is good then create a profile. And the profile should be complete with picture, signature (if that site allow) and a good bio.

And the next step is starting the introductory conversation honestly. Begin slowly but participate effectively. Whenever, you are starting commenting do not give the link in every single post. Actively participate in existing forum discussions and share your valuable opinions and tips.


Some of the forum sites allow signature from the first post and some of the sites allow signature after some good post. Forum signature is helpful in building SERP as well as giving referral traffic.
