Forum, Q&A and Social Bookmark Links - LBS

Forum, Q&A and social bookmark links are white hat SEO techniques which demand an investment of time and effort. Placing a link in a forum post, in a question or answer on a Q&A site, and as a social bookmark (when done correctly) is a natural form of link building which can add to the integrity of a link building profile. If the placement of the link is relevant and the comment is well written (not spammy) and genuine, then the search engine will catalog the link as organic. There is no field in any of the mediums which needs to be manipulated in order to create the link which is why they fall under the white hat SEO category.
