Any advice on forum backlinking strategies?

The most common way I have witnessed is to both set up a link to your site on your profile page and also have it as part of your signature (where the forum permits you doing so). But the key is that make sure when you contribute to a forum discussion that whay you say is interesting and adds something worthwhile. If you just chip in with a few words most people will end up ignoring you as a spammer and could end up seeing your account terminated. Other backlinking strategies you might want to look into if you haven't already is bookmarking with sites such as xomba, snipsly and shetold me. And also article marketing to gain backlinks. From personal experience I have found regularly submitting interesting, unique articles to article directories such as ezine, goarticles and also hubpages can really help with your backlinking stratergy.

well just like the post above, put your links in your signature. also comment in blogs and such but dont spam.
