The quest for website owners looking for backlinks to improve their search engine ranking continues with forum commenting. There are a number of discussion forums around the web and it is important to find forums that are:
1. Relevant to the theme of your website.
2. DoFollow - you can check this when you are in the forum by right clicking on 'view source'. Once that screen appears, hit Ctrl+F and search for nofollow. If no matches are found you are on a DoFollow forum.
Most forums will allow you to set up a profile that includes a link to your website or blog but most importantly, you should create a signature that includes a link to the website you want backlinks for. Once that's done, all you need to do is contribute to the forum on a regular basis and engage in the discussion without trying to promote your site - the link to your site will be in the signature attached to each post.
Forums tend to have a long shelf-life and will give you the chance to build up permanent backlinks, often from high PageRank pages.
