I would like to know if the links in signatures on DP show up as back links on google or is it only good for advertising purposes?
They do show up Putting the links in your siggy is a great way for your newly established site to get indexed, as DP is heavily spidered. More of advertising value, than SEO though
Yes they appear as backlinks. If you have thousands of posts, value of sig links can be as much as PR 3 or PR 4 sites depending on the number of posts. They really help if you are building links.
They do appear as backlinks but they don't have a great value. Best links you can get are the ones from authority websites.
check there, you will see many back link from digitalpoint forums... and its Aviva Directory Backlinks. http://www.google.com/search?q=link:http://www.avivadirectory.com/
Yea,also check the first link in my signauture..You could check the backlinks in yahoo and you'll find it has almost 2K backlinks from DP.
There's nothing in your signature and if someone buys a link in you signature,it won't be contained in your previous post.I won't buy yours even if it's 1 cent. Do put something in your signature right away,dude!
Dont worry about him, morons ( like spammers ) know what are they doing actually ! seems like they are all on any special Mission , they will put their sig when people forgetting about them..... maybe sell them on bulk way
Yes, the benefit of sig link is for backlinks and advertising as well. But advertising will only be effective if you have good rep here in DP. Rep doesn't only means how many blog you have but also the way you've posted your thoughts or advice.
Whenever you get a 1 way link, Think of it as pumping more water into your system. That's how I view SEO. WHen you have external links going out, thats like poking holes in your body and all that water stored in there is being drained
