=> this type of forums attracts people who use online bookmarks or voting systems, and who are likely to sphinn, tag, digg or whatever your site if you drive them to a post in direct relation to the thread.
So, indirectly, links you post on a forum have an indirect SEO effect, by driving people to link to it from other platforms. |
Not exactly what I was trying to say.
The posts have content. A reason to follow the link in the first place. Absent that content, your post and what it says, there would be no reason for anyone to follow the link. So, absent that "content" IMO the links themselves are worthless.
