Hi I am starting to do SEO for my website and i will begin posting on forums and blogs. I have started to build websites so what kind of posts should i be leaving so that it doesn't look like i am spamming forums and blogs with a link to my website. Also do you think it is a good idea to put a link to your website in the signature box on forums?

Thanks

Good job. Also explore some other backlinking avenues like social bookmarking, article marketing, guest posting, etc.

A signature link is usually a good idea for SEO.

[omrishabbat]

As long as you write relevant posts that really contribute to the general discussion it is not spamming! And link at your signature is very common and acceptable.

[highave1]

Nice stuff! Yes we're getting more value by signature links.
You can add: article, book marking, blog and directory linking as well.

[Shirlyn]

Blog commenting can help you to get backlink as well as niche forum participation can help you to get traffic as well as backlink for your website.

Putting a signature link will not contribute much on the traffic. Your time and effort would be the key things to get huge traffic. Hence you need to participate in all discussions.

[businesswarrior121]

you are going in the right direction my friend. good work and keep posting on blogs good contents. best of luck and carry on

[Tad 100]

It is one of the best ideas to go with high quality forum comments, but I have one website that I rank with 90% forum profiles only.

[jonnyhardbaked]

just leave comments that are related to that particular blog and to your niche. Avoid leaving one sentence posts. In forums, yeah it is good to have your signature while you are participating in a forum. Just don't post spammy replies.

I agree I find relevant posts that 'add value' work the best

Diversify! Forum profiles and blog comments (high pr pages mainly) are good ways to get backlinks but you should get a little of everything. Forum signature, Web 2.0, Articles, Linkbacks, etc. to be really effective.

[Moneyerr]

Post relevant replies and new threads relevant to the questions and forums to avoid spamming. For SEO of your websites you should also get backlinks from other sources like article directories, social bookmarking etc.

[shuvo]

You can put your link in your signature in forums without any hesitation.Now try to focus on other backlinking methods like web 2.0,article marketing,social bookmarking,press release etc.

[JSProjects]

An often overlooked benefit to forum posting is the amount of traffic you can generate from the posts themselves. This is, in my opinion, the fastest way to build a pretty targeted list at no cost. Posting for an hour or so each day at a handful of active, niche related forums can build a good sized list in no time.

[trytolearnmore]

Blog Commenting is great for backlinks and getting traffic. But i have used Forum Profiles + Social Bookmarking with great success also.

[webhostingrvw]

i prefer forum posting. blog owners mostly do not allow anchor text.

[App Developers]

blog commenting is very hard IMO. Even if you make it relevant and a great post sometimes blog owners don't like you to link to your blog with keywords at all. And with a click of the button on wordpress can report you as a spammer. A few times of that and you are then not able to blog comment on blogs using askismet. So, it is hard and each blog owner has their own thoughts on what spam actually looks like! I would find other ways to find back links and use all of your options including the commenting. good luck.

[aspnaren]

Ya including your site in your is not an offense if you are an eligible member of the forum..You see 10/10 member so the same here

[GuidoB]

I really recommend you to post on forums and blogs to get more backlinks. They are really usefull

[joebel]

Those strategy is proven that gives backlinks to our sites. It's just we must put the links of our site intelligently and in a nice manner to not consider it as a spam. On Blog commenting, you must first make sure that your comment is related to the topic of the blog. Other one is take a look on other comments if they allowed to put a link to it. If not just put the link on your name. On the Forum posting, yes it's advisable to have your signature a link. Also put your link to your profile on the website text box.

[bulkbacklinks]

Really it's a good way to get backlinks, but it takes lots of time for getting a single backlink. Anyways you choose the right way.

[zita123]

Yes, blog commenting and forum posting(with signature) play an very important role in improving page rank to your website. I use blog commenting, forum posting and article submission methods to increase pagerank.

[Aruna29]

To achieve high page rank, blog commenting and forum posting is too good.You have to comment proper and relevant.

[Alex Peltonen]

Congratulations on your website. It's good to hear you're starting to venture out.

Don't worry about putting signature links on your posts. It's only fair that you do and like what they say, it helps you more in generating traffic on your site.

About the kind of posts you'll be leaving? Don't try to involve any black-hat methods with it. Just go with the natural ones and always make it about the topic. You don't really need to research that much as to what the topic on the forum you're posting is about. You just have to make it look natural and sound like you're interested in talking with the people there.

[marknel]

Its always advisable to participate in relevant forums and blogs that are close to your website subject .Regarding blog commenting,remember your comments should add value to the post and check the commenting rules of the blog and follow them.You can emphasize your authority in your niche by making helpful forum posts .This will not only help in getting backlinks but also traffic to your site.Before you start off ..check whether the signature links are dofollow or nofollow .

[Quasha]

Whatever you are trying to do is great. Just remember that it is obvious that you have to choose the relevant niche do follow blogs or forums and please don't talk like a bot or spammer. That's it.

[azncute0228]

Forum is posting is good, but you could actually use some social networking sites to speed it up. Anyways just keep on your game right now. You are on the right path, just take it step-by-step until it grows.

[Justinpage]

Make sure that you leave comments that are helpful so that it will not be considered as spammy comments. Always remember the relevancy of your post.

[LisaGoogle]

Like most people here suggested, the most important thing is to leave comments that are relevant to that particular blog. Best of luck^^

[shanemorgan]

If you are new in any forum site and start posting with your signature.Sometime if your post not relevant or good than forum will count you as spammer but if your actively participate in discussion in forum and write good post than there is no problem with your signature.

[Webster Logan]

Just make relevant posts and try to post in a forum of your interest thats always helpful.

[LinkMasters4All]

I would vote for Signature Links on the Forums. Some forums may have a cap of 15-20 posts, before you can include your signature links in your posts.

[iphonesupport]

if you want to get more benefits for your website then you should search forums related to your site's subject. signature has important role in SEO

[marilynlia00]

you can use both blog commenting and forum posting to get quality backlinks by providing valuable posts

[June8]

Link building through forum posting or blog commenting are the nice way of getting instant links

[bilzz]

Blog commenting has become more popular in today’s world and it helps to increase traffic and improve search engine ranking of websites.Blogging helps people to share ideas and views with others,post some new information which is not added in the article and paves the way for discussions,etc.While posting we add our name and URLs that helps us in creating back links.

[fernades]

Do not post your links directly on your posts, instead of this you can use your links in Signature.

[dagaul101]

Just ensure that the post provides value to the reader, imagine you as the reader, and what kind of comment/post you would like to read so much that you would visit the site in the signature to find out more

[jmackenzie008]

The comment which we are posting relevantly will help to bring some traffic

[Jessicavictoria]

Blog comments helps to improve your website ranking in major search engines and forum posting is best effective method in getting quality traffic

[fernades]

Yes! its also a better solution.

[kumar125]

Hello
Both techniques are more affordable and important to link the building does not have to spend a penny to generate ad quality them.Both links.Forum back are commonly used for some kind of discussion or provide information in this blog comment is used to generate traffic.

[Gadi]

I would join a leading forum related to your website and post useful, real, information on there, answer peoples questions and build yourself a reputation as an expert in your field. Have a signature with a link to your site with the anchor text you want and Google will reward you for providing good content. Spamming in random forums may work for now in some cases, but eventually Google will tighten their algorithm more and more and you'll suddenly be left behind.

[Tylos]

Yes, Still forum signature links are most effective and blog comment links as well.

[nicktyler]

I have recently started doing a lot more blog commenting along with the other techniques mentioned. It is quite time consuming but it seems the value is there if you search well

absolutely it is a good idea to promote your website via your signature link.if you wanna to make your site visited by warrior members, then you should just post nice contents regarding your site issue. post relevant post of your site. do not start spammy thread. if you do it, people will spam your website. discuss various problems and future development of your site.

be sure that people will help you and will visit your site too.

thanks a lot.

[hikerguy777]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure you post relevant content on forums. The purpose of posting on forums is multiple, but primarily you are trying to establish a relationship with people on the forum.

IM is about building businesses, not getting rich quick. You build business by servicing a need better than other people. Figure out the need and contribute to the forum in a positive, informative way otherwise it will be construed as spam (like a lot of the posts on this thread).

[HKSEO Rotzee]

For what its worth, I have a PR5 blog, and I will approve any comment that is OBVIOUSLY related to topic. I don't generally allow "Great posts", or "Thanks". If you are going to say "Great Post" you need to add why and tie in something that lets me know you read the article. If you DO type relevant comments, I accept it and allow links.
