A Quick Guide To Successful Forum Posting For SEO

An Internet forum or message board as they are also known is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages.

From talking about the latest TV program on the BBC all the way through to trying to get help with a computer problem, we guarantee that you will be able to find a forum that meets your requirements as there are millions of them on the Internet.

They differ from chat rooms in that messages are at least temporarily archived, but in the majority of cases, they are simply indexed for the life of the website, so you can end up getting some fantastic links back from sites that are quite old. Some of the early forums have been running for many years, so you can imagine that if you have some of these links on forum posts from a few years ago how much they will be worth to your site.

A Quick Guide To Successful Forum Posting For SEO

For example, if you were running a site selling pet care products, your first move should be to collate a list of all blogs in your selling country that discuss pets or anything related to animals. You should then work out which of these are really active and being used frequently and prioritise these as the ones you should be joining and then posting on.

Your next step is to go onto these forums, make sure you read through the post and then offer a comment on the post, making sure that your comment is not just mindless spam but actually of relevance.

With forum posting, it takes much longer to be able to start adding your links on any forum, mainly because you have to start contributing to the forum and then offer your link, normally in your signature or your profile.

Sometimes, if you are respected or have gained enough respect through contributions, you can also post your link in a forum post as long as its actually contributing to the discussion on that subject or discussion.

As we mention, similar to blog commenting, you need to make sure that:

You only make posts and discussion posts on forum that are relevant to your own website, industry or product stream Your posts are not just mindless spam and that you are actually contributing to the "discussion" You actually take the time to write these forum comments and do not just end up annoying everyone with rubbish contributions You take the time to establish yourself as a "good" user, so that your posts and links are not deleted for just being a spammy account

This part of the SEO process can often be the most time consuming because you do need to spend time building up a reputation on the forums before you then start adding links or advertising your services, but in the long run, it can be a very worthwhile box to tick for your overall SEO process.

Computer Motherboard Guide

The heart of any computer is the motherboard. It is that big board inside the computer that everything is connected to. It performs the role of traffic lights and policemen, directing flows of information to where they are needed, when they are needed.

Choosing the right motherboard does not have to be a huge issue, even though there is a lot to consider. I will start off with the most major parts and move onto the the things that are less important or non-essential.

Firstly is the socket type.

Computer Motherboard Guide

The socket is the place where the processor (CPU) connects to the motherboard. There is no compatiblility between sockets, so it has to be the right one. The socket connection needs to match the connection of the processor you have or the one you intend to buy for the computer.

Most older Intel Pentium 4s utilise socket 478. Newer ones use socket 775. AMD chips utilised socket A for a long time, but now the AMD Athlon 64 series and Semprons use socket 939. Just check with someone as to what yours or your intended one will have.

Your choice of chip will have a lot to do with your needs, but choosing one with an up to date socket type will ensure slightly longer motherboard life as you can upgrade the chip for a while.

Second is the memory type

DDR is the RAM of choice for most systems, but some newer systems, which includes all Pentiums with socket 775 use DDR2. These two kinds are not interchangeable and have a different number of pins. Both DDR and DDR2 come in different speed ratings measured in MHz. DDR has a usual 400MHz denoted as DDR400 or PC3200, while DDR2 can go a little higher and comes in slightly faster speeds. Just make it match what the board needs.

Third is expansion slots

The expansion slots are the places where you put extra cards onto the motherboard, like graphics cards, extra sound card or a wireless internet card. The old standard is a PCI slot and these are appropriate for most expansion cards, excepts new graphics cards.

The most simple of graphics cards are sometimes available for PCI slots, but not too many. More common are AGP cards and the newer PCI express (PCIe) cards. AGP slots come in speed variants up to 8x, make sure the slot matches your card. PCI and PCIe are incompatible, so don't be confused by that. The PCIe slots are much longer and have a securing latch. If you want an SLI graphics card setup with two PCIe cards with SLI attached together, make sure the motherboard specifically states that it supports SLI.

Fourth is hard drive and optical drive connections

Two kinds are available, IDE and SATA, IDE is older with a thick cable and SATA is newer with a thinner cable. SATA capability is usually an add-on, you can see a dedicated chip on the motherboard. IDE is being phased out, but is still used for many drives and all optical devices like DVD and CD drives. IDE has speeds of ATA66, ATA100 and ATA133, SATA has speeds of 150Mbps and 300Mbps the latter sometimes referred to as SATA2. Make sure your board supports as much or more than you intend to install.

Fifth is the extras

The number of extras available on motherboard has increased greatly and so has the quality of the extras. Things to be expected are USB 2.0, a sound card and network slot. Other things which it may or may not have are firewire and extra USB slots.

So with all that in mind you should be in good stead to make a good decision on your purchase. Happy shopping.
