Which Back Link Is More Valuable For SEO?

[temi]

I will go for forum and blog links, of course it also depends of the strength of the forum or blog.

It's not the type of site that matters for ranking, but rather the site backlinks, Trust and Authority. Take a look at this article:

I'm new in SEO and still do it to SEO for my blog. I always write new article , tools , post and public it. After some day, i post it to almost forum. Introduce it, i think that's good way to build backlink .

i think as long as the link came for a good site..... like relevant sites are valuable for the site

You are asking the wrong question IMO. It is far more important how closely related to your site content is to the content on the site the backlink sits.

Topically related backlinks are always more valuable.

I prefer forum and directory, directory as they are easy to get and forum since they are fast indexed by google. While for blog links it depends on the blog administrator whether he will approve it or not.

Most of the blogs have no follow, so I do not prefer it for building links though it is beneficial.

different forums

I voted for Blog links overall as they get me the most visits, however i believe it depends fully on the relation of where the back link comes from as well as if the site is of high quality. So in this sense it can be any of the back links above as long as they are of high quality and relation..
Also we have to take into account what also gets the most visits, removing the concept of backlinks as well. If a forum link gives more traffic to a backlink then yeah thats more suited to your site and much more powerful backlink.
