Check all three areas on every forum you join.
( Note: I personally recommend using Automatic Backlink Checker for this.)
Not all of these options will be available in every forum. Not all of them will allow do-follow links.
Still, take advantage of every opportunity you can. If a forum allows all three, use them. If it only allows two, use them.

Once you've figured out where to place your do-follow links, your next step is to develop your mom database forum posting strategy.
But before we get into that, it's important to know that each forum you join has its own specific rules and guidelines you must follow. That said, there are universal rules that apply to virtually every forum you join.
Here are five of the most important rules to follow:
1. Read the forum rules and guidelines.
Always, always read the forum rules and guidelines before posting your first post. These rules will prevent you from being banned and having your profile removed (and with it, all the valuable backlinks you've earned).
2. Be respectful to all members.
