Sign up for the forum and build your profile.  Put several links in your profile and make some comments in the forum.  Then go back and change your signature and add different links.  This will change the links on all the previous posts to your new signature.

Then go back and change your links again and make more comments.

This seems to bring up a red flag when you keep changing the links in your signature.

What to do if you get Banned

The Warrior Forum Banned Me
I did not think too much of this until I tried to use the same profile that was banned at the Warrior forum to sign up for another unrelated forum.  I was banned from that forum before I even registered.  If you get an identity banned do not try to use it again.  Do not use the username or the email address again.

What to do if you get Banned
First you will want to erase the cookies on your computer.  Then you will want to unplug your internet access modem.  With DSL if you turn it off and then back on in a couple of minutes you will get a new address.  With the  Bresnan service I have been using lately it has to be off for an hour or overnight before it changes my IP address.

Then do not use the Banned email or User name again.  They will associate your new IP with the old banned profile.  Getting your profile banned will get your email banned at other forums also.  How do I know this?  Some automated software I was using got several of my email addresses on some sort of Spammer Ban List.

How Not to Get Banned

The solution is to not get banned in the first place.  Go slow with making comments just a couple the first time you are at the new forum and then just a few the next time you are at the forum.

Add good comments to the forum. Learn from the other posters on the forum and try to add good information.

Do not change your links in your signature.  You can skip putting links in your signature until you have visited the forum a few times.

Build New Identities

I do not post a lot with an identity.  I keep changing identities and email addresses that I am using so that if one of my emails does end up on a Spammer list I do not lose a bunch of forum identities and links.

Forums Comment Posting–
I like the really large forums because your individual posts are not scrutinized. Some of the smaller forums will look at all of your posts to see what is up. The larger forums you are pretty much anonymous.

Some of the smaller forums the owners–administrators are really against us putting in links. Go to the next forum when this happens.

Change Your Forum Signature
You can start by making comments without a Forum signature.  Then when you add a signature later you the forum will add your link to all the pages that you have made posts on.

I have started to always add a couple of comments on the forum after I have signed up and gotten my website in the profile page. I usually put a couple of different websites in the signature page.

Great articles on Blogging

Here is a link to a great article and I read all of these blogs—usually when I am linking to a new site—all the sites have a ton of traffic and the links show up quickly. I only link twice to a website from a blog—Sometimes I will come back and get more but i believe after the first two links from one site the rest are ignored.

After you read an article on one of these sites put up a link to one of your sites, then read another article and put up another link to that site, if you read another article put up another link but make it to a different website. All of the websites he talks about in this article are top of the heap.

Finding Forums
How do I find Forums to sign up for and post comments in.  First I just do a quick Google search and put “Bicycle Forum” or” Rodeo Forum” or” Skiing Forum”  as the search.  Then I take the top PR forum on the first page of the results and sign up.

I build a profile for every website I am going to promote.

I get a new email from Gmail to use and I come up with a unique word to use as my “Username”

Lets say I am working on a Website on Credit Cards.  I will pick a Username that has no meaning like Gcredit12.

I will make a complete person– Gary Credit   Helena, Mt 59601 born 6/13/1964

For Personal Questions His grandfather was Jon Broken Credit
His dog was Sue

I like to have at least 8 letters, at least one Capital and one number in my Username.  I will also have a password with the same specs  –Gram1234–  or something like that.

Checking on my Username
Now I do a search on Google for “Gcredit12″ and I find there are no exact matches and only two matches for a general search.  I like it when the new username is not used in any website.  This way as my forum linking project goes forward I will know how many of my links are showing up by doing a search for –Gcredit12–

I will then get a Gmail account with Gcredit12 @ g … and use the password.

Now all the forums I sign up for will have the same “Username” and password as I used for my Gmail account.

Lets Get Started building Forum Links

I just did a simple search in Google for –skiing Forum–  I clicked on the first one that came up.  I then clicked on “Join Now”

Now I add my Username, email, and whatever else they want.  Any information they want I will add to my profile.   I will use this same information in all the forums I fill out with this profile.

I store my profile for each website on a private page on the website that I am using this profile to promote.  I also make a list of the forums that I have built a profile for on that same page.  You do not need to do this because after a week when you search in Google for your profile name all the sites you have created a profile will show up.

Next go to your email that you put in and click on the link to activate.  Sometimes this will end up in your Junkmail so check there too.

Now go to “My Profile”

In the center a bit down from the top you will see “Edit Community Profile” click on this.

Put your website in and I like to fill in some of the boxes.

Now if you want you can put another website link or two in your  Signature.

I normally just write a little something and add another link on my signature.  Many people will put a couple of different links here.

Now I go to the forum and find a thread that I can make an intelligent post on and make a post.  Often I will ask a question.

***

Now I also am sure to put this forum address into my page on the website I am promoting.  This is on the same private page that I have my profile in.

I have gotten at least two deep links to my site.  Many forums have very high Google page rank.

**

I hope this was helpful.  I have found it takes longer for Yahoo to find these links than it does for them to find links from comments but some people say that these links are much stronger.  I have not tested it.  It takes me a lot longer to get a forum link than a comment link.  You can go back to the forum and sign in and make a comment and you will get another link from your signature.

Giving a boost to a new website

I have always had trouble wandering around in forums.  I have built over 100 links in forums now for different websites.  There are three main designs of forums and you will get used to their navigation pretty quickly.  This is a very powerful linking system.  If you want to add a link to a new website at any time you can go in and rewrite your Signature.  This will add links to your new website.  It will remove the links from your previous comments and add the link you just changed to.

Changing your Signature

If you change the links in your signature it will change the links on all the entries on this forum.  If you delete a link in your signature it will delete the link that is on your previous comments.

The Forum Linking Method is really good at getting deep links to your websites.  It can take a long time for some of these links to show up in the search engines.  I have found that the signature links on a thread show up quicker than the website link in your profile.

My Recommendation
Build a profile, put a link in your signature if allowed and make a comment or two.  Then move on to the next forum. Come back in a month or a week and make some more comments.  At this time you could add another link to your signature also.

This is work but it gives you a variety of links and you can completely control the anchor text of the links.  I am an avid Pro football fan and I have gone to many of the pro football forums and created profiles.  Since I am fairly knowledgeable about football this has been really easy.
