When i started my blogging career i spend a lot of time in forums, just to build a few links for my blogs. In forums i read different threads about forum posting, every one was saying that forum posting is not helpful for link building. I was still busy in building links through forum posting. Now i am happy that thanks god i did not stopped forum posting, because i got benefits.
I do have backlinks to several of my sites both from forum sigs and from contextual posts. Some of these come from recent forum activity, so I have to believe that the method still has potential. But please don't spam forums just to get links. Participate in the conversations and don't worry about the links.
Still very effective, especially if you use programs like X-rumer!
Yeah it is effective for branding and backlinks
hi,
it's really an effective form of back linking strategy which many underestimate.
it's also a way to get traffic to your website which many fail to realize. :)
kindest,

It is, but as wink0r says, to get something, you need to give something. The reason why I say that is because it works in more ways than just a backlink. Whoever clicked your link, has read your posts, and it gives them a good idea of the kind of person you are, and that in a way tells them about the work you do, or rather the way you do it. It also shows the forum staff that you care and want to add value to the site.
