Brent Crouch - My Online Journal

Previous Post For This Project

There are hundreds maybe even thousands of different forums.  But for my purpose, I can divide forums into two different categories.  There are the forums that allow you to use a signature with backlinks and those that don't.

For my purpose, I'm interested in finding forums related to my niche that allow backlinks.   In addition to allowing me to network with others interested in my subject matter, the backlinks will provide some SEO value to my project site.

I have the same policy with forum posting as I do with leaving blog comments.  I'll never post on a forum for the sole purpose of getting a link.  If I can't provide something useful to the conversation, then I will not post.  I do not post general and useless comments.  My goal is to provide additional content to the forum owner in exchange for the link to my site.  When done correctly, it is a win - win for everyone.

I've found ten forums related to my niche that allow backlinks in the signature.  I've signed up for all of them and will check in everyday to see if there is some way I can contribute.

Finding forums related to your niche should be pretty easy.  There are tens of thousands of forums that cover a wide variety of subject matters.  Here is a good list to start with.  Not all of these forums will allow backlinks, so be sure to check before signing up.
