Join a Growing Webmaster Forum
Back in 2010 the webmaster and website forum http://webhelpforums.com was launched. In the beginning it functioned as a support forum for our webmaster and SEO tools such as sitemap generator, website analyzer and keyword analyzer, but it quickly grew into a general webmaster forum with a broad range of topics related to running a website including SEO, SMO, PPC and many more acronyms 
While the forum moderators are pretty adamant about not accepting spam and link dropping to websites of dubious quality, it continues to be a “do-follow” forum for those people who contribute content and knowledge. If this sounds good to you, check out the webmaster forum. And yes, it is also possible to market website related services in the “buy and sell” section 
Just a couple of quick tips for those starting their own forum: Start out with only a few discussion sections until your forum grows. Then slowly increase amount of sections until you cover all the topics you want. You should also take forceful measures against automated spam since it can quickly lower the quality of the forum.

Hi, I am considering putting a blog oa seperate website to my pet accessories site. Should I allow links in signatures? It seems like a lot of sites do. Is this to encourage users to post on their blogs?
