With every link building method that you choose to use, there are always ways to maximize their effect. The same goes with link building with forum signatures. Posting in certain threads in forums allows you to maximize the effect of your link building campaign. Some threads give you more link juice to your site, and others may give you more exposure and views to forum participants.

Topics that give more link juice:

We all understand that some forums use the no follow attribute on their signatures (ex. digitalpoint), but for forums that do not, the following should be considered.

? Sticky threads: They are just two links away from the home page at all times. They are featured first on all the pages of the forums that they belong to. And sometimes can manage to get a good PR. You can either create very helpful guides that can become sticky threads or you can simply post a comment in these threads.

? Threads that are linked to a lot by bloggers: When you see a thread that breaks the news or is talked about a lot in the blogosphere, don’t forget to leave a comment. Some of its PR will leak to your site.

Topics that will give you a high exposure:

? Threads about earnings: especially when started by someone that has a high monthly income. They tend to get a lot of views and comments, and if you’re the first to reply, you’re going to get some extra exposure.? How to posts: Posts that explain something in detail and they do it well. There are a lot of different guides to link building and monetization in the webmaster forums, but not all bring something new to the table. Pick those that reveal a new method of making money or getting links, and you got a better chance of getting your link seen, if you’re one of the first to comment.

? Don’t just reply, open new threads yourself. If you can open a conversation on a certain topic, do it. And if you make it interesting you’ll gain more exposure than by just replying in threads.

Also, remember to try to make useful comments by replying with something that may contribute to the discussion.
