Oh! Yes. It works
 

Oh! Yes. I do frequently participate in Forum discussions and honestly it helps a lot in increasing my website’s traffic. I spend about 5-6 hrs daily trying to post replies and create new threads on lots of Forums.

Yes, that's a good method for SEO. Devote 1 -2 hours each day to forum posts and article marketing.

no doubt....forum and blog posting do two things. #1 they provide invaluble links (some do anyway) and #2 they provide a LOT of exposure.

Even the sites that provide no-follow links provide some link juice. Never underestimate the power of links!!!!

It's good to be on the forums and getting your name out there. Don't be out there just to drop a link. You should be participating daily, but also for the right reasons.

Any suggestions on good forums to post on?

You should strive to put in around 1 -2 hours each day to your SEO efforts, including forum contribution. Just make sure you aren't simply there to get a link. You should be there to share your knowledge in your chosen niche.

I do a couple of posts a day. It helps traffic a little and I find some great help on forums to.

In my opinion, This is the best off site technique among all to get a sufficient amount of back links. I am also getting a lot of benefits with this technique for my website promotion site.

Apart from the vital points mentioned above, a great forum must have high-quality database management system. PhpAdmin, DBs and MySQLs are necessary to manage your discussion board or forum with ease. Security is also an important part that makes your discussion board and forum work efficiently without any hackers and virus.
