Should You Link to Your Site in your Signature?

signature in forum website is a good way to promote our website, and is all free. so why we don't take this change to promote it?

beside that, if we add it then maybe we can get more visitor from this forum member, and i think dp is 1 of larger forum that will be best for promote.

 

dear,
according to my point of view, don't go for such act, because its not a good thing to link to a site which is not in your niche. such links can bring traffic but for marketing site, such technique will never do any conversion. moreover its against crawlers guidelines.

 

It doest matter from where the links is coming from it should be from the High PR forum. After all its depend upon the visitor to decide which link to click.according to their intreast.

 

yes its good to have a link in signatures.but should consider following
1. Choose a forum, or foum topic, that is related to your website topic
2. Sign up, and add a link to your website in your signature. Make the anchor text of the link easy to understand and clear to read for users of the forum. Dont just stuff your keywords in the text
3. Preview you signature and check the link works correctly
4. Now browse the forums. Find any threads that you can make worthwhile contributions too. Don't post random nonsense, just to get your link present. The moderators will delete your posts, and will probably sus your intentions

As I guide, I suggest making posts to 10 different forum topics, on each website. This should give you a good chance of getting good benefit from the links.

 

Posting on the related topic with your signature can be enough for your SEO link building.

 

Don't expect any or much search engine love because of signature links. However, having signature links can get you a few visitors.

 

obviously, it is not a bad idea. What I am concern is what is google's idea of a relevant back link..

 

Exactly...

 

They're interested in contextually relevant links. For example, if you have a site about baseball cards, then having a link to Hank Aaron's hall of fame page would be contextually relevant. However, a link to an adult night club on the same Web site would not be contextually relevant since they have nothing in common with each other.

 

signatures help a lot since every backlink counts. They help even more if they are related to what your posting since actually people might want to check out your site.

 

What you're forgetting to mention is that some links are worth more than others, and some are worth less than others. In the grand scheme of things, forum signatures are like pennies compared to the $100 bills the links I adocate getting are like.

 

I think signature can help drive traffic. But I guess it won't help much in seo, if not related niche.

 

it might not help serps much, but you will get traffic from it, ive had quite a few people from this forum visit my sites

 

it ofcourse helps you to get traffic as well as the forum links are valuable

 

It can't hurt, So why not

 

its you who will decide what you want... related is good cos that will derive more intrest in viewers

 

I personally prefer to keep my sig related to the forum I'm posting in. It's never a good idea (in my experience) to look like you're just trying to promote something. When it's unrelated to the forums topic then it tends to look like blatant promotion.

 

wow~~ it's a good idea, but you can't make search engine feel you are in spamming

 

Signature links helps a little with proper use of anchor text when it comes to SEO but the result is very little unless the user is very active and has lots of posts.

When it comes to traffic generation, it does help to attract some clicks to the link. Not much but at least maybe a few clicks.

Well putting a signature will lose nothing.

 

Linking to a site from this forum is beneficial if your site is entirely new and needs indexing - this can help it in getting indexed within hours
Value for SEO, it is just another backlink IMO
