Is forum posting an effective strategy?

[Sam Fischer]

Is Forum posting really good for promotion .Is it effective in bringing traffic to your website. And If Yes then shouldn’t I build a forum site for that particular niche if possible. And after building Forum how do you initiate new members to your forum. Do you promote it like a website or there are certain other strategies?

Yes it always help to create back-links on your website

Forum promotion always does not help to create backlinks for your website. Many forums are 'no follow' and only contribute to valuable discussions and help much in generating traffic to your website.

Forum posting can bring in traffic, but if one wanted immediate traffic, it isn't the best to use in terms of advertising.

Forum posting is actually very effective in my opinion simply because people will look at you posting on the forum and will see you are hopefully a nice poster and active and will be intrigued about the board thats in your signature.

It's not the best way, posting around with an ad banner in my sig, but I feel it's not all that effective.
