How to Search Engine Maketting

The benefits of commenting on 1 – 5 Forums ~ 10 times each per day are:

• You increase your Brand’s exposure - People are more likely to go to sources that they’ve heard of previously.
• Free Traffic – Who can complain with free, targeted traffic?
• DoFollow Backlink – Sharing the PageRank juice.
• Build relationships with other experts in your field – They can offer advice, tips, link to your site from theirs and.. whatever else.
• Increase Link Popularity – In at least Yahoo, high backlinks are an important factor with ranking  in high in the SERPs.

Well that’s just the positives I can think of right now, not that they’re not reason enough to already be signing up now and posting relevant posts with your anchored signature links.

So another 35 forums for you to post your relevant content at. And no, just because they’re in this section and not the top section, does NOT mean they are worth less then the others. In fact, you’ll find that some (Adobe, MYSQL etc.) have higher pageranks then a lot of the top section.

Also, do not forget that there is an SEO Forum on this site (yes, there actually is). And yes, it too is do-follow.. so have fun.
