Posting on popular forums or industry related forums is another powerful method of engaging and interacting with new users , while driving prospective clients to your website or business, on top of gaining more forum anchor links for your page rank and search engine marketing campaigns. Be advised that a lot of forums and message boards are very aware of spam bots, forum backlink submitting software, and spammers looking for a quick place to slap a forum anchor link. These types of quick forum back link solutions are not recommended at all as you will end up getting your website and IP address flagged, de-listed, get your website listed on spam sites, and / or other negative actions brought upon you or your website.
