You should also sign up to some of the forums that you researched earlier. Before you post, many forums allow you to enter a signature that is appended to any posts you make.
You should change yours so that it links to your website with your main keywords as the anchor text and also consider linking to one of your articles too, with the secondary keyword as its anchor text. Leave a reply to some of the forum posts asking for help – you do not need to link to your website in the post itself since your sig will have all the details in it.
Most forums will have controls that let you create your own backlinks, so be sure to use these. There is another type of code, bbcode, that many use to create links and it is somewhat different to the href html links you were shown earlier. If in doubt, check the forum FAQs.
Once again, do not spam the forums. Try to become a valued member of the community – answer other peoples questions, post your own, and start getting involved in the debates. If the forum permits it, and it would be on topic, you can also answer a question with a link to an article you have written.
