Paul and Angela Style Backlinks
-
Do Forum Profile Links provided by Paul and Angela hold any SEO merit ?
Will it help in improving SER?

Yes and No. These are what I would call Sammy links - you are basically using a umber of forums etc to get backlinks, in qantity from the same provider. Soon enough, most of these forums would be loaded with so many link cheats that the whole value of the forum would die out. You may get a short term boost, but I would advise against it.
Some of these link profiles are what we call "dirty" i.e more likely to get penalised.

Thanks Rishi ... If I were to ask you just ONE link building strategy that is easy on the effort required every one should use ... what did be it ?
-
Totally depends on the niche I am afraid. however for small businesses, I always advise takingthe manual route - although old, the strategies here still work:
