Everyone knows that posting on forums with a link to your sites in your sig is a quick and easy way to gain a lot of backlinks quickly. What they often don’t consider is their profile pages. Whether a forum allows guests or spiders to see sigs or not, every post you make has a link back to your profile. Also, most forums have a list of online users on their homepages which has the highest pr. So it is not that hard to get a nice PR to your profile. Just checking out a couple forums that I visit I found that I have profile page that is predicted to be a 4 and a profile page that is predicted to be a 3! Suppose that you visited and posted ten times a day on 10 different forums. In a TBPR export or two you could have 10 strong forum profile back links. You don’t even really have to keep posting to keep the PR. Just pick a new forum and start posting, it doesn’t even have to be a webmaster forum—any will do. There is one small problem, some forums use a robots.txt to tell spiders not to index profiles so check to see if any other profiles from that forum are indexed before going all out.
