Welcome to the Q&A Forum

If you are looking for building links via forums you need to do the following: Make a name for yourself on the forum by helping out users. Post a fair bit on the forum Make sure the forum is related or semi related. Look for chances to place links but make sure it is a do-follow forum. Don't get me wrong a lot of forums are junk but you can find forums which are highly authority and related they are beneficial not only for link building but traffic/lead gen.
