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.
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.
