Generally search engines index forums so posting in forums and blogs is also a way to get quality back-links with anchor text that you want. If the forum or blog is a respected, a back-link is valuable. In some cases, a forum or blog administrator edit or remove the message even if it does not fit into the forum or blog policy. Also, sometimes administrators do not allow links in posts, unless they are relevant.
Thanks
Ive ran round the “how to buy quality backlinks” issue ad nauseam and I come back to the same point again & again. There are no quick fixes, there is no low hanging fruit & it takes eons to get quality backlinks. If you are working agency side youve got a bigger problem with clients just not getting that they have to play their part ie: Audit all their suppliers, audit their existing web assets, converst Linkedin web links, blog, target universities for the lucrative .edu sources, write killer contnet.
You’ll recommend all this and guess what they’ll do bugger all and then hit you with a stick two months later and say “why am I not top of the SERPS”
Google isnt dumb, they just knew SEO pirates despite their plethora of blog posts, quick fix guides, paid for tools proclaiming how to get back links just isnt a case of manual acquisition, you get them by offering tools and content that guess what… your targetted audience wants and thats it.
Back link SEO soothsayers RIP!
More to the point, we on these forums have run around this issue ad nauseam.
@rogercroft - rather than asking what is, with all due respect, a pretty basic question that you might guess has been discussed here a hundred times before, it would be much better if you read the sticky threads at the top of the forums and did a quick search to find the discussions we’ve already had. After reading those, if you’ve still got any specific questions then please do come back and ask them.
In the meantime, I’m closing this thread because there’s no point in having the same generic discussions over and over again.
