Several good SEO (Search Engine Optimization) forums and message boards exist on the internet. They enable users to learn about new techniques, become acquainted with other people working in the same field, and keep up-to-date with the latest news on this subject. Read on to learn more about a few of the best, most active SEO forums…

HIGHRANKINGS: The forum of highrankings.com (use the link on the far right of their home page) has about 15.7 thousand registered users. It has separate forums for discussing SEO web design, keyword optimization, copywriting, building links, directories, good techniques, undesirable techniques, pay per click (PPC) promotion, analytics, web site coding, news, events, and various general business-related topics. There is an area where members can request others to review their web sites and make suggestions. This forum appears to be the most active of the three listed in this article.

SEOFORUM.INFO: This forum has nearly 9,500 members and it includes sections on Google, Yahoo, MSN, web directories, SEO techniques, keyword usage, links, SEO tools, PPC, affiliate programs, news, and other subjects. It also has forums where members are permitted to exchange links and buy or sell services. There is a link near the bottom of each page titled “SEO Library”; it links to a faster-loading version of the forum which doesn’t use tables and leaves out some of the extra information and statistics. Unlike the other two forums described here, the seoforum.info web site is entirely devoted to being a forum.

SEO-GUY: The web site seo-guy.com has a forum which can be reached using a link just below the image at the top of their home page. There are almost 14,600 registered members, and over 100,000 messages have been posted there (more than seoforum.info but less than highrankings.com). It appears to use the same form (in the upper far-right) for new registrations and logging in. There are individual forums for discussing SEO in general, each of the major search engines, links, tools, reviews, good web site directories to submit to, Froogle (a.k.a. Google Product Search), usability, online marketing in general, databases, and various web programming languages (HTML, PHP, CSS, etc).

All three above-mentioned SEO forums have registration forms which are rather short, which is good if you don’t like having to enter a lot of personal information. On the other hand, you can read these forums without registering, if you aren’t interested in becoming directly involved.
