Search Engine Optimization has become a big deal for most companies today. This can be attributed to the fact that the internet has become a huge part of our day-to-day lives. In a world that’s becoming more and more competitive online, we can’t help but ask, “What are the best active SEO forums in 2020?”
What is an SEO Forum/Community?
An SEO Forum or Community is an online space wherein you can seek answers related to SEOs.
There are various Pros in taking part in an SEO Forum, and some of them are as follows:
1. Anonymity - Some of these forums allow you to remain anonymous as you ask your questions, reducing the risk of privacy breaches 2. Availability of answers - Due to their nature as forums, a lot of your current questions may already have answers. This greatly reduces the amount of time you would spend in looking for information that you may need. 3. Free information - Why spend money when you can get information for free?
Larby Amirouche’s List of Best Active SEO Forums 2020
1. Google Webmaster Help Community
Google is your friend. Literally. While you may always utilize Google for what it’s known for,
its webmaster help community is there to guide you. The advantages of using Google is that:
i) You know that the information you get is more or less validated.
ii) It’s an established community that’s already well-known.
However, despite the fact that Google has “everything”, the webmaster help community only
has four preset categories. This means that if you have a specific question that doesn’t fall
upon these four, you might want to look for a different community.
2. Reddit’s r/SEO
Reddit is a website that houses millions upon millions of members. It’s a mash of
communities brought together under a url. If you’ve thought about it, Reddit has a
corresponding “/r” (or topic) for it. Go for Reddit’s r/SEO if:
You’re looking for a specific question to be answered quickly
You’re worried about not getting answers for your questions
What you need to keep in mind while using Reddit is that you aren’t always going to be dealing
with professionals in the field. A lot of the people there are either sub-professionals, or
people with questions like yours. You’ll have to learn the technique of wading through
information and fact-checking.
3. SEO Chat Forums
SEO Chat gives you access to a ton of threads regarding SEO. Its user interface is really
easy to understand, and the categories go straight to the point. Opt for SEO Chat when:
You have a general question
You don’t need a quick and complicated response to your easily answerable question.
Be careful when using this website though. Opening the site prompts your computer to
warn you about certain privacy issues. If you dislike the thought of compromising your privacy,
you may want to move along.
4. Warrior Forums
If you’re looking for a more premium website with more support options, Warrior Forums is the
community for you. A yearly membership will cost you $97 – granting you access to
digital marketing courses, internet marketing tools, and aforementioned forum support.
You don’t have to purchase the yearly subscription though, you can access the basic amenities
by registering with your email. The basic access – albeit limited – is mighty helpful anyway.
5. DigitalPoint
DigitalPoint is much like Reddit, wherein it’s a collection of topics. The main difference is that
DigitalPoint deals with everything digital. While researching about SEO topics, you can quickly
navigate through the topics and learn about AdSense and the like.
The only downside to this website is that you will have to register using your Facebook account.
This might turn you off as there may be a chance of your privacy being breached. However,
if you find it as the price you pay for good information, then the choice is yours.
6. BlackHatWorld
If you’re looking for SEO techniques and the like, BlackHatWorld has various
tips and techniques for you. The advice that their members give can range from
WhiteHat, meaning basic “legal” techniques to BlackHat, meaning ones that are
frowned upon by Google.
You might want to be careful in using this site, as BlackHat techniques might get you
penalized. While it isn’t monetary in nature, the penalty might be that your article or
website not showing up in the results at all.
The best thing about BlackHatWorld, however, is the fact that you can rate the members,
as well as see their ratings. This allows you to easily discern who to and not to trust.
