Search Engine Forums, SEO Forum

I am a bit new to SEO. And i have read that forum posting can be great backlinks for your site. But how does it work? each post means a new backlink? (well yes because of your signature). But why is that when you change your signature in your profile, all of your signatures in your other posts changes as well - its like they are just all one link.

My vote goes to forums. Links from forums are very useful especially if the forums are well established and have good pr already.

Forums are great source of backlinks if you'll choose the good ones..

that's how it works.. when you updated or made some changes with your sig on a certain forum, your sig links on your posts will automatically change too

In my opinion....forum sig. links , submission to directories works best for me

I m quite new to this field but I have read that social networking websites are the best way to get fast backlinks.

Please correct me if I am wrong...

Thanks in advance.

thank you guys for your answers.
as for me, i have already submitted to directories but after that, you cant submit to them again right? so forums is better. You can post daily, just avoid spamming. And i guess social communities and bookmarking sites are great too. So thats it for me im still doing these two: forum posting & social communities/bookmarking sites.

But isn't it true that forums that aren't terribly related to your site topic wouldn't help very much? I'm a little confused about this issue. The way I understand it, if your site is about SEO, for example, posting here would be helpful, but if your site is about, say, ice cream sandwiches, it wouldn't really help you that much (since this site is unrelated to the topic). Is this correct or not?

IMHO Forums backlinks are most reliable and long lasting...

Ya they are one reliable way to get back links . Social networking sites on the other hand do need you to spend a lot of time and usually have limits to adding contacts at once .

Most of the blog comments are no follow links, so they are pretty useless. Forums are not the same?
