Does forums post still works .

[mainceaft]

Hi all , looks like the only available option for me now s web forums posts , I don't have any paid SEO tools and now I'm counting on my own tools (which is PHP basically )
Forums post served me well pre 2013 updates now I'm give it try on my bit new website .
So what you think and what bes approach to avoid G penalty .

Good idea to drive traffic, but useless for anything else. SEO has changed quite a bit since 2013.

Forum posts aren t the only available option, though.. there are a lot of backlinks, even decent ones that you can create for free and by yourself

I mostly use forum links to drive some organic traffic. But for SEO nah !

That's crazy talk. I've boosted rankings from forum links alone. I think there's a lot of factors at play like keyword competition, onsite seo, etc.

Don't forget to use scrapebox/gsa blasts as your primary ranking technique.

Try this (an old method) Make a forum profile fully kitted out. Username as your keyword. Make sure you use a niche forum where your profile is indexed. Then just simply like comments on big threads. Basically this gives your "keyword" / username a backlink from the same forum to your profile as pyramid like backlink.

You can use it to market your website my making professional contributions. Nothing of the sort to only aim at driving visitors away to your own site.

I would say there is very little these days although it's been a while since I did forum marketing for SEO.

It works great for me for direct traffic and sales.
