i have build a web site ,i want to know is it useful to post thread in other forum to get backlink

**chrishirst** · 05:36 PM

It isn't here because obvious self promo links will be deleted.

Signature links might get a site crawled but if you think they are of any value to search engines you are barking up the wrong tree.

signiture isnt useful ,what is the best way to increase backlinks

**chrishirst** · 05-24-2008, 05:37 PM

have good content that other people will link to.

**rirara** · 05-25-2008, 10:18 AM

It won't hurt to do it so go on. There is nothing wrong in self promotion, if it is done in the right place not like spam.

**Niche** · 05-25-2008, 08:15 PM

Yes but make sure that your post is relevant to your site's content and obviously also to the forum users
Also check to see if the forum use no follow attribute on the links

post on forum sigs

**dejvo01** · 05-26-2008, 02:41 AM

It can be usefull to better indexing and sometimes in Serp. But if you have new site
and still not in index you need at least one backlink to index it. So forum signature can help you...

Forum signature backlinks are useful for site.

**jimmychen** · 05-26-2008, 05:22 AM

Lol, of course it is. Just put your backlinks to your sig but don't start threads all about your site only.

It is useful to get links from forum. The forums are not allow self promotion. You can use signature link to get back links. A thread contains good contents reply posted by the users will be helpful. Some members creates theme based thread and add the links of the websites they owned or worked for.

**Jaguar.X.05** · 05-29-2008, 09:55 AM

**meanne2007** · 05-30-2008, 03:13 PM

Experience bears this out, but the truth is most of the stuff Hirst says winds up being true.

forum backlinks are great, if the forums have a high PR and are popular and active.

**lajocar** · 06-01-2008, 10:20 AM

Links in forums signature can be helpful for traffic and Google also sees the forum links.

Just go to Google webmaster tools and look at links there

**erikko** · 06-01-2008, 11:56 PM

**full house** · 06-02-2008, 08:21 AM
