SEO forums - seo forums online - seo chat website

I have posted links to my website on forums and my blog and actively participate in the forums, always using my website's link as my signature. Same in my blogs. But they just don't seem to be getting picked up by yahoo and msn's web crawlers. Only a few of them have come up as inlinks on my webmaster's page. How long does it usually take? Are some forums better than others? Does it depend on how often those forums are crawled or updated? Or is it something I'm doing wrong?

Hello,

It will depend on how well optimized your website is and what anchor text you are using for your link.

For example, if your website is about widgets and your domain name is www.aboutwidgets.com - you want to have your link text 'About Widgets', and not just your web address.

Also, you want to be certain that your website is properly SEO'd itself.

Are you using metatags, heading tags, alt tags with images ... are your pages named as keywords, are your page titles using keywords, have your pages got good keyword density, do you have regular fresh content? Sitemap pages for google, and yahoo ...

One more thing ... with your links, don't only link to your home page - deep link also, using appropriate anchor text for that page.

Trust this helps,
