Obtaining Links from Forums?
-
How good is a link from a forum? Do you guys know of any forums in the shopping, jewelry, wedding, or fashion industry that accepts links within their signature or within the post?
I know some forums are very strict about this and others allow you to add your link as an incentive to post on their forums.
Generally, how effective is this in your opinion and any good recommendations of quality forums?

I would agree with the above as you can really get some good buyer orientated traffic. This tool can help you find forums related to your keywords = http://www.soloseo.com/tools/

I agree. Think of those forums as part of the overall strategy and not look at them as just providing link value. Provide value to the user's of that forum/community and then you get both the visibility/brand awareness/citations as well as the SEO value.

Very good for traffic if you can find excellent forums to link to in your industry. If you can add valuable content to the forum I would Highly recommend it. I believe it should be part of a well diversified SEO strategy.

Reddit LInks
Are Reddit links worthwhile? I hear they are sometimes follow and sometimes not follow. Also what about links verses self links? I'm pretty handy with reddit so I can probably make content that would actually be upvoted a lot. Let me know, thanks.

Total Links vs Google Webmaster Site Links
I am interested why the numbers between SEOmoz and Google are so different. In SEOmoz we only show 17,000ish links from 190ish domains. In Google, we show 200,000+ links from 370 domains. Why is there such a dramatic difference?

External link
Hi guys! You must get many questions about external links... This is mine. If I get an external link with good authority ranking in google, but it is not relevant to the site (for example, my site is about marquees, but we could get links from schools, which are our main clients, or any type of client) Does that affect negatively somehow to the rankings? or there is good value on it even is not related? Thanks! Adriana
