Link building through forums again valuable?

When I checked one of my competitors to determine how many keys he stands over me. I have both the Onpage criteria, as well as the criteria Offpage considered.

In analyzing the back links I noticed that he had a large part of his links from profiles and posts from forums receives. I have rough times and come thick and fast at around 60-70% of forum posts. There are forums, the content of the page with nothing to do. The links are not even big equipped with keywords, but mainly just the URL.

I was always assumed that these links do not bring much more power and hardly inherit, but must now apparently well rethink. At least it helps my competitors seem to entwine itself in front of me.

I will test this time and I strongly links from various forums provide. Let’s see if it really brings something. This would be my current understanding of SEO and my positive opinion of Google completely through the pile of throw, but ok, you must be willing to learn.
