SEO: 4n Forum & Links = Great SEO Results

Adding to my recent article 'SEO: The importance of links' let's look at this from a 4n point of view.
4n is a very powerful website as far as knowledge is concerned.  Access to over 10,000 professionals all with ideas and a willingness to help.
But what else does the 4n Forum and Profiles help us with?
The 4n forum is indexed by google all the time, and because of its own high ranking with Google links from the forums are followed and indexed.
When we write about something important in the forum and add a link we should think about how we do this.
Adding a link to a URL http://www.monkeydesignhouse.com/seo/4networking helps the user know what address they are going to but is not very good for Google.  Google likes to know where it is going before it travels there.  So a better way to link is including keyword rich and human readable clickable text.  For example:
SEO Seminar
Keyword rich links help provide relevancy too.  I link all the time to SEO Seminar from highly ranked forums and profiles such as 4n and when you now do a search for SEO Seminar in Google you will see 2-3 entries for my seminars on page one.
Many more results can be made taking into account all organic techniques of SEO - but we should all ensure we start using our forum to add more value for the readers - but this is turn will give us great results.
Don't just stop at the 4n forum - make sure your profile has human readable and keyword rich links too.
 
WARNING: 4n forum can serious effect your Google Rankings and Results
