What You Need To Do To Improve Your Rankings W...

I know, many people out there say that forum profile backlinks no longer work and that they arent of any help in terms of SEO and improvement of ranking positions.
I dont agree. In my opinion, forum backlinks are still a valuable asset and I think, they should be part of any link building campaign.

Why should you still make use of forum links and forum profile backlinks?

They help to diversify your backlink portfolio - Google likes sites that get backlinks from all kinds of sources.

They are quick to build - takes only a minimum amount of your time.

Those forum backlinks are really easy to build. No need to write articles, no need to beg other people to give you a one-way backlink... And those forum links can easily be automated.

Forum profile backlinks are really cheap - you can get 5000-10000 of those forum links for about $5.

Also, in many cases, a few hundred forum profile backlinks are often sufficient to get a Google top 3 ranking for very low competition keywords.

Now, of course, those forum backlinks are not some sort of magic weapon that will allow you to rank all your keywords quickly and easily. But, as I already mentioned, for very low competition keywords they are perfect.
Also, not all forum profile backlinks are the same. Certain forum backlinks may be absolutely useless and others may be very valuable assets that allow you to improve your rankings.

Here are some tips to get the most out of your forum profile backlinks:

Forget about building forum backlinks on PR0 and no PageRank forums - thats a waste of time.

Wait 5-7 days before adding a signature and an About Me text with a backlink after forum signup - otherwise your profile may get deleted within a few days.

Always use your keyword in the anchor text. Also, dont create hundreds or thousands of forum profile backlinks with the exact same anchor text keyword. Use some synonyms and LSI keywords.

Ideally you should spin your signature and your About Me text. Having the exact same text on each and every forum may raise some red flags with the search engines.

Also, I dont recommend you use any free email account, like Hotmail, Yahoo... for the forum signup - many forum moderators tend to delete those accounts.

In your signature and your About Me text, dont just provide your forum profile backlink. Write a short text snippet of at least 60 characters. Those links will be more valuable in the eyes of the search engines.

Now, how do you get your forum profile backlinks?

You can create them manually. Unfortunately, thats boring and also a bit time consuming. On the other hand, 20-30 high quality forum backlinks may be enough to get you a top ranking for very low competition keywords.

There are various software tools you can use to automate the creation of forum backlinks. However, not all of those tools will allow you to create forum profile backlinks that satisfy all the points I mentioned earlier on. XRumer is a very powerful tool to create forum backliks - unfortunately it is also very expensive.

You can outsource the creation of forum profile backlinks. The cheapest solutions can be found on Fiverr.com. You can get packages with 5000-10000 backlinks with an unlimited amount of urls and keywords for $5. However, most of those cheaper packets wont provide you with forum profile backlinks that fulfill all the high quality standards I listed above and many of those backlinks tend to get deleted rather quickly.

And finally, you can hire someone on odesk.com or elance.com to create the exact type of forum profile backlinks you want.
