Link building forum can be very advantageous. It can also be disadvantageous.
- Time consuming.
- Most high traffic sites will not participate in reciprocal linking.
- Other sites may accuse you of spamming when you request to reciprocate links.
- Many sites now require the completion of lengthy link application forms.
- Requires follow up.
- Quality links are also not effective enough. Rarely would you get quality linking though automated links building.

If you research low competitive keyword then you may not have to build links to your website, link building is needed for competition mainly.

Anywhere you put links of your site, it would give benefit so I think there is no disadvantage of link building, I think as well.

Well disadvantages or not, link building is a necessary evil!
