How Can I do SEO for a Escorts Website?
-
So here comes the hard part of working with SEO....
I've been doing SEO for a quite long time now and as far as I concern, it has been working and that's why I can tell people I'm a SEO Manager!
It was all good until 3/4 months ago when I got this client that wanted me to do SEO for his Escort Agency. I've analysed his website and came across some structure error, poor linking and so on... I've started by reformulating his website, re-structuring his urls, keeping good pages and throwing alway the poor content ones, requested some website owners to remove links to that website and so on....
All good and sorted, but when it came to do the off-page optimisation it became a nightmare!
It's pretty easy to get links for a clothing website or any other (not "obscure") kind of websites, but no serious and authority websites would link to an escort agency;
It's also very easy to create something funny and nice and post it on a page of your website to get people sharing and liking on facebook, but again very hard to get people to share and like things posted by an escort agency...
You can't really advertise on escorts directories and use keywords on the ad because godfather google would penalize you....
I really don't know what to do anymore, so I will list some questions and if guys SEO experts could help me out, I would be so grateful!!!
- How can I get people linking to the website without paying for it?
- How can I get good authority links to this kind of website?
- How can I advertise on paid directories without being penalised by google?
- How can i get shares and likes on social network websites?
- The website has about 3000 pages, been online since 2010, have at least 3 lengthy articles posted a day!
Please guys help me out with this case that is making me loose my nights of sleep...
If you guys need the website address and the targeted keyword I can PM you (I dont know if the forum allows me to post it here)
Thank You so much for the help in advance....

I highly doubt you guys have any experience in the escort or adult seo. This with quite a few posts in this thread is just a way to score a cheap backlink or cheap attention. Ive looked through your portfolio and really escort is a different league.
It is because of SEO agency's like this clients end up paying in the hundreds to a thousands to be faced with marketing (such as social media marketing) that will not gain anything beneficial. On most platforms escort is simply banned. This is a absolute dead end in that regards.
Ive seen the worst done SEO company's go at Escort Sites, charge over 10.000 pounds and after 12 months of exhaustive complaining with no progression, to see that people only applied the usual nonsense guest postings on their own blogs. Result? Website still stuck at page 5 on avg.
Ive bin working for approx 1.5 month now on a high class agency active in Both dubai and United kingdom, see https://movidamodels.com/ and i'm already booking more progression in just weeks then these guys accomplished in 12 months. There's so many factors to take into account, one most important is relevant and strong links from simular sources.
As i wrote before in this thread ive build a large network with age, duration and a good clean backlink profile that pretty much helps me setup existing or starting escort agency's today with not too much of a hassle. Because of that i'm no longer dependend of any outsourced links but simply get them from my own network.
All in a white-hat matter as google dictates. https://www.seoforescort.com/ is a growing succes due to it's strong name, nature and satisfied clients out there. If anyone needs i highly recommend contacting me. I can work with small budgets and guarantee results in 2 to 6 weeks.

Hi Doug,
I founded vforvibes.com 3.5 years ago. It was hard in the beginning to find quality sites. It become much easier later when we had an extensive Sex Ed content, and got discovered by a few sex therapists, and sex coaches. You can try to use a slightly different strategy and start targeting sex toy websites, and adult education sites. They tend to charge less publishing fees. We are currently accepting guest post requests as well. Please, feel free to email me - pr@vforvibes.com.

I am the owner of escortatorino.com , a site that operates in the escort sector in the city of Turin, in Italy. My experience started more than 4 years ago and I still haven't managed to get the top positions for what concerns the reference city, due to a high competitiveness. The industry is very tough and getting quality backlinks is extremely difficult. I have found the answers given in this forum interesting and useful and I agree with those who say that domain authority is perhaps the most determining factor.

SEO in this niche is notoriously difficult and off site optimization in this niche is a whole separate thing and needs to be addressed as such. Its great that the on page SEO of your project is all good, hopefully your following Google guidelines of content is king / E A T.
For quite some time I've been looking after https://avisbabes.com/ and one of the things that you could look into are the escort directories for your area. That plus keeping an eye on any links that you need to disavow should give you a good start.
-
@douglasapuc Sounds like the site should be in good shape with 3000 pages and three lengthy articles per day being posted. The main advice seems to be content is king has re-branded as E-A-T and yes authority links, and yes they are tough. Take a look at https://avisbabes.com/ or any other sites and look at them as examples, and the advice on long term rather than short term seems pretty sage.

Performing adult SEO is difficult. Over the years, so much has changed and its not as simply as it used to be 10 years ago. Updates are always changing how escort SEO needs to be performed.
You need to understand user intent, have a user friendly website, have great EAT content, a strong trusted domain and high quality links. You have to be the best in all departments.
Even most recent updates have affected escort websites. The helpful content update and review updates have caused guides like https://sexcityguide.com/ to start to outrank agency and directory websites.
My advice, don't worry about rankings in the short term. Build a brand and in the long term you will always be onto a winner.
-
Try Google disavow. You tell google basicly to not include a link from a certain page or domain. You'll lose the "linkvalue" but the link with escort would be ignored from that point on.
-
I do this for 14 years, and i can say at this point that i have the most exclusive agency's in my portfolio at this point who benefit from my time, effort and provided services. I know the pain topicstarter talks about about gaining links from quality sites. Escort is simply a "grey" niche and i learned fast that building my own network with some years in the back of my mind was the best approach.
Now fast forward in time i have a large network and i can provide inhouse seo for all these clients. I have also an addition and that is that my webmaster account is over 14 years of age. Since i'm active in Escort and other niche's i do have a bit of "stronger" authority compared to others. My websites where basicly build from the ground with good content good links blabla and it's providing me exactly what i need.
Some things matter such as speed, content or server uptime (i.e 24/7) but none of them more important is simply authority. Without you can optimize the snot out of it but you wont be getting anywhere. Most visitors are'nt going to read the chunks of text, they want to see girls, so it's best to optimize your very top for what they are looking for and put any text below. Black-hat seo is'nt a good approach at all, avoid it at all cost really.
If you have a budget hire someone. Your free to send me a PM. You can find my work in my profile (Link) to https://www.vanderlindemedia.nl/ - i can gain movement in already 2 to 6 weeks really. And get the upmost (best) position if desired within 6 months. Testimony to that is having the top 3 on international keywords covered by my own clients. Just saying.
Ive seen completely broken websites still rank. It's all about authority. And usability. No need for AMP. Responsive is just enough. If your going to use wordpress try to find a host with Litespeed and you need to dive into optimizing wordpress to the core. It's bloated and it's slow when your facing hundreds of visitors a minute. I have my own (15) servers in Amsterdam and i have a Cloudflare thing going on as well. It works tremendous.

@SundanceKid Hello. How can I contact you?
-
Hey - I got an idea.... Not sure if it would work but ... it might be a win - win and solve a problem.
I can sell you a page on my site to write up about escorts with strong keywords -
I can then 301 all those forum and profile pages about escorts that I have thousands of backlinks pointing to your ad / content page instead of the 404 page - There are some high DA and PA backlinks coming in with Escort anchor texts everything from 10-90 DR / DA - However, the Spam % is getting high on the sites linking back to me.
It's a waste of backlink juice as Google just ignores it because my site doesn't have those keywords.
I get easily 100 backlinks a day to the forum posts and profiles that the escort seo person created on my site and I deleted and redirected to a 404 page telling people I'm a brand storyteller.
It's frustrating because on all these SEO tools, the top anchor text for my site is Escort and Call Girl in some town I've never heard of and everyday I'm inundated with new links to these redirected pages.
I don't know how to get rid of any of it or fix it.
We're talking over 400 domains linking back to my site with the anchor text escort and call girl.
It's not going away and I'm NOT an escort site - I'm a brand storyteller.
Only thing - the page would not be in my menu or my site's main pages - I'd create a landing page for the ad/ content page.
If you want to talk about it - Reply to this post about how to get ahold of you.

Maybe I should give you my site... Just kidding.
I have well over 12 000 back links and 3/4 of the sites linking to me with anchor texts are telling Google, I'm an Escort. I have no idea how to fix this.
If you want the list of backlinks maybe you can ask them to switch me out for you.

@vin83 Your post is very interesting. it is also optimistic for those trying to move the lines in the escort niche. I've been trying to rank a new escort site on Paris Panamescorte.com for 1 year. The competition is fierce, I see a new trend of site powered by Indian seo. I am dubious about the relevance of the results that google offers for the keywords of the escort niche. The sites have textual content that doesn't mean anything. The language is not mastered, it's just filling in sentences that don't mean anything. Each page is optimized for a specific query. But if you read the text, it doesn't mean anything. I think google is indifferent to the textual content of this type of site. To rank an escort site, you need tons of links, and a lot of money to get those links. That's all !

I am the owner of jfmlondonescorts.co.uk & agree with everything topescortbabes.com has said. However, I am uncertain about the keyword density in the post. The bottom line is it is a very hard industry & can be a money pit. link relevancy is of course very important & as ever content is king. Half my day is spent using tools & spying on the competition LOL. I am fighting hard in the London escort market which is indeed the hardest. I get more grey hair as each day passes. Thank you

Well, my law blog accepts guest contributions from any industry. So if you run a website for an escort service, you could write an article like "Is prostitution legal in Florida" and then send it to us with a backlink in the article. It would have to be 950 words. Our domain authority is 32.

Currently i'm doing SEO for kiev-girls.info and I have to admit that getting backlinks is the hardest part of job. Probably you should try doing PBN. I'm just testing this strategy.
-
Hello friends!
I am the owner of escortpappy.com
I notice that it is very hard nowadays with sites like this, because we are not accepted by almost anyone to advertise and put quality links. From what I've noticed, many of the sites nowadays don't have much seo and I don't understand why they don't.
I would need some advice on what kind of strategy I could approach to promote my website.Thank you very much!
-
I think it's the same- but you are going to have a hard time getting quality backlinks. Many websites won't want to link to an escorts site.

@mattantonino Hi, even I am very late, may be I will get an answer, you talk about 81 DA, 73 PA - openadultdirectory.com/escorts/UK
The fact is all the links in this directory are no follow, you think it's worth it ?

Hello Douglas,
First of all, doing SEO for escort agencies is a pain. Of course, you can very well do a strong onsite setup, but when it comes to building links and generating authority, things get rough, No one wants to associate with this domain, and therefore, finding places to put your links is not an easy peasy process.
However, there is hope. I own an escort software script company - Escortscripts.com, and we have extended experience in helping guys from this industry with many resources, from a strong escort directory script to web development and SEO. So we are experienced into your area as well.
Just contact me there and we can discuss your exact case in private, and come with a customized solution for your needs.
Best wishes,
Sebastian -

escort sitesi açmak bu zaman gerçekten sorunları beraberinde getiren işinde uzman olmayanların yapamayacağı bir işlem olduğundan dolayı pek fazla öneride bulunmak istemiyorum zaten bu yorumun amacısını sizde anlamışsınızdır

Hi Douglas
I’m sorry if I am coming late in this thread and I am not even sure you are still doing SEO for escort websites but out of my curiosity and based on my experience in SEO for escort website, I would like to jot down some OFF page activities which can surely help you in acquiring good backlinks for your client website as well as debunk some myths you have for this industry.
Off-Page Activities
1. Escort Directories: Directory links are essential while doing SEO for escort websites. It helps you in boosting keywords ranking as well as send you some relevant referral traffic. Directories are easily accessible on Google. You can search for ‘uk escort directories.’
Here are some top directories to get a link such as eurogirlsescort, ukadultzone, escortdirectory.com, and a name few.
An important point to keep in mind: Reciprocal link is a common practice in escort SEO. Without reciprocal linking, you can’t earn a backlink to your site, especially for free. It generally comes in the form of a banner or sometimes in text. So don’t forget to leave some space on your escort website.
Myth: Our godfather Google will penalize my site. Nope, I have been doing escorts SEO for the last 3-4 years following this activity and Google has never penalized my sites. Leave your worry aside.
2. Adult Forums: Here is a small list of adult forms to drive some referral traffic towards your sites: punterlink, ukpunting.com, adultwork.com.
3. Adult Guest Blogging: There are many sites where you can host you blog but not for free. Industry demands money.
4. Business Listing & Reviews Rating Sites: Get your client website registered for free on the following sites: Trustpilot, yelp, touchlocal, hotfrog,
5. PPT Submission: You can create promotional ppt using Canva or Crello and post it on high DA ppt submission sites such as slideshare, issuu, slideshow, edocr etc.
6. Video Submission: Youtube and Dailymotion allow escort agency to post videos. See this as an opportunity to drive some referral traffic using videos.
Some of your questions answered
How can I get people linking to the website without paying for it? Due to the limitations on the escort industry, you can’t convince everyone to link you for free. No matter how awesome you write a blog, escort websites demand money.
How can I get shares and likes on social network websites?
Twitter and Instagram can become a good source of traffic if you don’t break the rules. They allow adult websites to share content, images, and videos. I would advise you to not to use a word like ‘escort’ as it looks spammy. Instead of ‘escort,’ you can use words like ‘adult’ or something similar to that or what about a original girl profile.
Write a good bio with your website link in the form of shortening URL, Post high-quality images, Write attractive captions, Use general hashtags to increase organic reach. Avoid using #escort #london escort etc or any sort of spam.Other social networking sites to use: Plurk, Tumblr, Diggo.
Hope my answer help

Dear Douglas,
We have 7+ years of experience in the adult, especially in the escort niche. So I might be able to help you out a bit here and there. We worked with several escort SEO projects, agencies and escort directories as well. As a reference, one of those is TopEscortBabes.com - which is among the top 3 international escort directories worldwide.
For an escort agency, just like the one you've worked with, I would recommend the following action plan, when it comes to SEO:
-
Technical factors: if we would start a new escort agency site, we would definitely start to optimize it for Mobile (even AMP), as that's over 65% of escort related searches as we've experienced
-
On-Page technical factors: make it fast-fast-fast, if you are going to use JavaScript to have the best UX with some fancy things included, a secret weapon can be to use a Prerendering solution that you give to the Google User Agent - note that the mobile and desktop version should be the same, so go with a responsive design
-
On-Page SEO: not much to tell you here, check the top competition and try to use TF-IDF on-page analyses to gather keyword density, keyword types and content length data
-
Off-Page SEO: here comes the tricky part as you said, but the easiest solution is this:
- use MOZ or other backlink checker tools, collect the backlinks of ALL YOUR COMPETITORS first (20-30, the more the better)
- delete all URLs (links) that are duplicated (intersection), so you will keep one each of them
- use MOZ DA/PA to make an order of the possible link partners in an excel sheet or software of your choice
- go and try to get all the links that your 20-30 competitors have - hire someone or do it in-house
I know this just scratched the surface, but I guess this is the safest and easiest way to see some early results, as many of the links you gather will bring referral traffic as well, even if they are no-follow, besides of the SEO value.
Hope I could help you and others who read this post!

Dear Douglas,
I am in SEO and SEM for 5 years now and started working on an escort directory 7 months ago. Compared to other niches the escort niche is very (and I mean very) competitive. As said above you need patience (a lot), dedication and a lot of domains linking back to your money page. Links coming from the homepage from niche related domains with a high DA are the best.
In 2018 content is still king. You have to create high engaging content so it will be shared a lot on social platforms. Google counts this in as a ranking factor. Also, the length of your content plays a role in how high it is ranking in the SERPS. Nowadays infographics are popular as well as it gives a quick overview of an entire article.
I hope in some way I could provide you some valuable information. There are still so many steps you can take to promote your website, but keep in mind that the entire process will take a lot of time and effort to make it rank.
I am always looking for partners in the industry, so if anybody’s interested in exchanging links, ideas or information, please do not hesitate to contact me on through https://presspink.com.
Good luck :)!

Hello Mate
Well, to do SEO for an escort website, the strategy is totally different. Nowadays, the esteemed link building is getting links from high quality authority websites from related niche websites. So for an escort/adult website, you need to get links from high authority escort/adult sites. I got a list of all approved links from wave69 of all the escort directories (themed DA>40, TF>20), and those are very good websites to get a backlink of you're doing SEO for an escort website. Some of the links are:
I hope this information would help you, let me know if you require any further assistance in this regards.

Hi Matt
I found your response really helpful but slightly confused with the link to Patheos. Im not quite sure how it would pass link juice from a blog comment unless you specifically put a link to your site on there?
Your reply would be most appreciated

Thank you.
I'm about to launch escort website in the UK.
This will contain ads of independent escorts, individual agencies and girls working for them.
Your advise will be definitely used.
What I'm trying to do is to make sure that the website is fully mobile friendly, offers possibly the best UX, has clean and light design, all on site SEO job is properly done, doesn't look like the Christmas tree full of blinking ads. But what is most important it will have outstanding search features - not common thing among the industry.
Then very strong blog section (all adult, sex, sex health etc related articles - plenty of topics to write about).
Strong Twitter presence.
And to my surprise links are on the last position. I can see how they were abused during the past few years and I believe that Google is really more and more capable of properly auditing your website from the visitor point of view. And because I'm very passionate about the project and how my customers will feel on my website (fortunately money can come last) I believe that this is the right approach.
And good links will come, I'm sure they will.
Thank you.
-
Hi Douglas,
I know I'm coming into this conversation a bit late, but I have a lot of experience working with escort sites that I'd like to share, just for anyone else who may be facing similar challenges.
As others have pointed out, there's a serious lack of resources for marketing and building links to escort sites. And at the same time there is a lot of competition for top rankings, especially in the UK market. Because of this, many SEOs rely on link trading with escort directories and even resort to link spam. In fact, many of the top ranking sites for escort terms sit on mountains of spammy links. Some get penalized quickly for these methods while others don't. Such is the nature of any industry lacking relevant link building resources.
The best way for both escort directories and agencies to rank well is to negotiate non-reciprocated link deals with the websites of independent escorts. Many escort sites ask for links in exchange for listings and exposure. Some sites may require reciprocal links, which is fine as long as you keep them to a minimum. Acquiring too many of these links, which are viewed as link trades and go against webmaster guidelines, can be risky.
Another way to get quality links is to reach out to the many escort blogs floating around the industry. A lot of times these blogs are happy to work with agencies and independent sites if value can be provided in return.
Escort directories are another option, but as with link trading it's important to keep these links to a minimum. Even if you see lots of directory links in the link profiles of other top ranking sites you can't be sure over what period of time these links were acquired.
You can also tap into the adult industry for links. Many adult webmasters operate escort sites and blogs which they use to funnel traffic through paysite affiliate links. Even if the content on these sites lean more toward adult models than escorts, the relevancy signals of the sites will still work in your favor.
Also, as with all campaigns, you'll want to perform a full backlink profile audit to make sure you're working to remove bad links from the past as you're building new. There's some details on how we do this here http://www.adultseopartners.com/escort-seo-strategy.html. It's possible that some of your struggles may be due to the negative effects of old links that were built before you were brought in.
There's more ways to get links to escort site than these, but in my exprience these pack the most punch. And keep in mind, the more relevant and quality links like these you have, the more you can get away with lesser quality links.
-
You may need to dig but they do exist. For instance, I just ran an OpenSIteExplorer on vip pleasure girls - #2 local result.
They have a link from
- 81 DA, 73 PA - openadultdirectory.com/escorts/UK/ (Your highest DA on Moz is 68 so I'm assuming you aren't on this site.)
I'm not suggesting YOU blog spam but this is also helping them rank:
- 77 PA, 87 DA http://www.patheos.com/blogs/ comment links.
- They have a profile on PureVolumne that has a profile link and info about their service.
- 55 PA, 57 DA on http://www.escort-directory.eu/Escorts/UK/Escorts-London.htm
I don't want to do all the work for you but run an OSE search for erotic city life's domain (D on local). They have a LOT of directory listings, www.yourescortguide.co.uk/, www.cherrygirls.co.uk/london_escort_agencies.html and a bunch of others.
Finally, you may need to do a bit more building. Build some micosites, get some basic links into those, forward along the juice. It's not necessarily white hat but your industry isn't necessarily going to lend itself to pure white hat SEO the way many of us can do it for our clients. I don't usually advocate anything other than white hat SEO but realistically you have unclothed women and theoretically "paying for a woman" to advertise. It may not be a typical scenario.
Regarding paid directories: if you're talking about stuff with 73 PA, 81 DA, it's probably not that site that is hurting you. They rank very highly. Google returns "relevant" results - if you're on a related site, that's one thing. Being on "every" directory that will accept you is another.

Hi CMC and thanks for your reply!
You are absolutely right about the sex blogs and forums and all that, but they dont really want to link to escorts websites, when I question them, they all say "well, you're an escort agency and we don't like to encourage anyone to pay for sex"....
It sounds easy to do, but all of the sudden, all the ideas and tricks that you used to do for other projects, cant really be applied here....
People see escort agency as a bad thing and the people that run places like this as gangsters....
Facebook won't even allow you to have a page for the agency and people simple won't share things on their facebook even if its the most informative article ever because they just look suspicious to be share things coming from an escort agency! how tthe hell did you get to an escort agency to find this information? thats what people think!!!!
Anyway CMC, you can have a look at the website www.99scorts.co.uk!
please give me your thoughts!

This is going to sound like a silly thing to refer you to but I think the problem is (essentially) the same:
How would you do SEO for Anonymous?
Their issue - real news sites won't cover them because of their industry and what they do. Sounds very similar so much of the advice will also work for you.
One of the best answers involved a Moz post and I'd start there:
http://www.seomoz.org/blog/92-ways-to-get-and-maximize-press-coverage
Can you work in easier to link to content such as health topics, etc? It doesn't matter what industry you are in, there are leaders in it, related niches that can and will help you, and authority sites despite the industry .
Also, you should look into GFY (google: GFY webmaster). Also search adult backlinks warriorforum and adult backlinks blackhatworld - both return some good results, though nothing I want to link to here.
Finally, do some competitor research. For NYC escorts, icon companion is a top site. They have a few great backlinks you could take from (open adult directory, etc.) Once you do a competitor search, you will definitely see some places to get good backlinks and you'll start to see the patterns, as well.
Hope that helps!

You might not get the New York Times to link to an escort site, but that doesn't mean you can't get valuable inbound links. You have two huge advantages: excitement and controversy. The business is about sex. That means you have tons of content creation opportunities. People are interested in sex, talk about sex, write about sex, share content about sex, etc. Same for prostitution. It's a hot political and cultural issue. Sex work clients aren't likely to disclose their pastime on Facebook, but other people might be amused and titillated by stuff on these subjects.
Does your client network with sex workers and sex work advocates online? There are tons of sex-positive bloggers out there. If your client creates compelling, valuable content about sex work, those people might link to it, comment on it, respond to it, etc. Alt weeklies sometimes have columns on these subjects, like the ones by Mistress Matisse and Dan Savage. A lot of these folks are active on Twitter.
Depending on how much risk your client is comfortable with, they could also use HARO and offer expert perspective on the escort biz.

Google + and SEO
Hello, A couple of competitors that I keep an eye on over the last couple of months have been really going for the Google + links and according to Opensite explorer they have over 200 social page metrics for Google +. I was just wondering if there has been an update that I have missed that gives follow links for Google + or does Google + affect Domain authority? And if so can I just use my own Google + account to create these social page metrics or does it depend on someone else sharing my posts? Many thanks

4 Weeks In - Need to Develop my SEO Strategy
Hello All, 1st post \ interaction on Moz! I'm now half way through my 4th week in an 'Online Marketing' role for an established travel operator \ agent in the UK and I now want to really start working on my SEO (and linkbuilding) strategy. I'm using Moz for most things and I have highlighted (via crawl diagnostics) lots of warnings & errors (15,000 pages crawled, 12,000 errors and 26,000 warnings!) which I will be addressing with the web design company next week... We engage (but not as much as we should) in Social Media and I have an excellent content writer who can write unique, interesting and informative content about our niche - which is quite large! I am obviously keen to focus my SEO efforts on the content and I have created accounts on Web 2.0 (Squidoo, Hubpages, Blogger etc), Social Bookmarking (Stumbleupon, Digg, Reddit etc) and I have started to engage with other webmasters within the industry in the hope I can submit one or two 'guest posts. Adding to that we have an excellent blog that 'sits off' our site and already has some great content on! I am also looking at other content ideas such as; lists, infographics, quizzes, surveys etc So my question is; do I continue with the 'content strategy' and if so, should i continue with the platforms I am currently using (as above)? I don't think that I'm a million miles away but any advice would be greatly appreciated! Andy

Should my small business website link to Yelp?
I'm kind of on the fence about this one. Should I include a social media icon for Yelp on my website? We have great reviews, but so do most of my competitors. I'd like to share my reviews, but I also do not want to send traffic away from my website to another website (Yelp) that lists my competitors. What do you think?

How can I gain links by creating infographics and/or memes?
It seems that both infographics and memes seem to be popular methods of creating good quality links at the moment, but how can you actually gain links by using these? When people share the graphics they will need to put an extra link in back to you and obviously most will be via social media so will not be worth that much to Google? Do I need to email these out to blogs etc?

Do forums still have any SEO value?
Hi All! I want to know what people think about having forums on their sites. Do you still find value on these, or are they mostly a waste of resources? Would it be better to use facebook's registration plugin or something along those lines? Any other thoughts or suggestions on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Margarita
