Anyone has the list of the popular forum beside WT. I would be appreciated.

If I register with 100 forums and put my website as signature, will my website improve the inbound link and page rank or no? will it help my website to get advantage?

Any comments is a lot of help please!

You'd fit in at digital point.

I'm moving this to the seo forum, as that's what you're really asking.

Your inbound link count will go up, but search engines that use link analysis look at the quality of each link, which turns out to be more important than the count. When somebody starts a thread, it gets a new page, which on the not very useful toolbar page rank scale will get a 0. This thread, for example, has an internal link from the seo forum, but no links from other sites ... so there isn't much love it has to give. The forum's home page does well on the pr graph, but check any brand new thread.

Also, that's going to be time consuming...! Instead of joining 100, you might be better off joining 10 and finding your way into the group there?

Forum links certainly aren't the best way to get inbound links and if you are only joining forums to get links, then I'm not sure if you'll be much help to the people in those forums.

Keep in mind as well that most forums are moderated. If you're really planning to join 100 of them, I don't see how you'll be able to contribute anything of substance even if you did that full time. Depending on the quality of posts, and the particular forums, you might find them removed after you make them. Which would get you nothing for your efforts.

That said, NP is right. This is Digital Pointless mentality. Spam isn't just tolerated there - it's celebrated. I'm not saying you're necessarily planning to spam, but it certainly does sound like it from the numbers. So DP is a good place to start your forum memberships of link building. That doesn't mean you can't stay here, too, but the folks at

gaining backlinks through forum posting is not the only purpose why we register, forums like SEO forums are also for learning and used for getting very useful and valuable information.

The way I see it, you are just after to spam your links through forum sigs.

hi

i dont think so , join 100 forums is a easy work. the more easy way is link exchange what we all do..if you have websites for providing back links....try to go for three way....becos number of outbound links should be very less on website

thanks

santhana, it won’t work.
Start submitting to directories. Less time, more benefits

Using forums can work from an SEO point of view, but not directly. And the way it works the best is the way that's mentioned the least (go figure!)

Like Forrest said, find a few forums and build up a reputation as a solid member with good information and advice to offer. The more you do that, the more people will want to visit your website. If it's anything like your forum attitude, and most are, then they'll end up sharing it with others, thus generating the organic links that work best from an SEO and from a traffic standpoint.

In other words, find a few places to post, be a good boy or girl, offer useful stuff and that's all you need to do.

I have to agree with the 10 Forum cap off (Wouldn't want to spread yourself to thin). You will notice that lots (Not all) forums now days have the NOFOLLOW attribute on the sig's, so now you are looking at taking the time to research each forums - View Source - just to see if the sig's are followed. Pretty time consuming if you ask me.

I do agree that forums tend to bring great direct traffic from other members & or visitors clicking the Sig link But ONLY & I stress "ONLY" if the content you have contributed to that particular thread was Viable & educational.

Otherwise you are just waisting your time looking at forums as some sort of SEO medium.

If you stick to the 10 forum limit mentioned by ForrestCroce & keep your posts as Viable as possible, you may start seeing direct hits in your server stats from those forums (Then of course, it would be pointless if your landing page isn't properly Monetized in order to convert the traffic).

So many things to weigh out....... Just remember to always work Smarter Not Harder, things tend gain momentum faster that way.

No, listen to what Adam, Forrest, et al. said, join a few forums and build a reputation there and help others out. Networking can be a great way to market your site.

This is spamming, you shouldn’t do it.

I did a search for forums with link juice and found a list for you. Still I would recommend following the advice already given.

Start submitting your site to Web directories it will help your site a lot to get a good rank.

If it helps any, out of the 8 forums that I frequent, ONLY 4 seem to Loved by the GoogleBot: Webmaster-Talk / Ozzu / V7N / DigitalPoint. I will warn you now though, if you start doing any copy / paste from your own site onto a forum to achieve the Unique & quality posts we have all mentioned, you will only hurt yourself - the forum thread will then compete with your article page you copied the content from.

I'm sure others here have seen what i'm talking about. It's a learning processes. I myself posted a few articles I wrote into forums, just to find out 2 weeks later that they are now competing with my site article pages. They stayed in the engine because the additional posts on the thread altered the overall content density, Thus NO Omitted status was issued for duplication.

So keep it original (Try not to copy & Paste).

Good luck!
