Question about Backlinks and Signatures

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by Zaber Ansary, Sep 7, 2013.

    Suppose i created an account in a forum. I posted there some days and then i added a signature to my Profile. It contains My blogs Keyword anchor text and Link. And then i started posting more frequently. So in every thread a backlink/Anchor text to my blog should be found. Will they be counted as individual backlinks or will they not. Clarification needed. Anyone got any Answer?

    This kind of question has been answered couple of times but I would try to explain it to you.
    1. Multiple links from one domain will be counted as 'one'. They would not going to be counted as 'individual Backlink'
    2. Each link carries different value. It mean if your site about 'Hosting' and you get link from 'hosting related threads' your site may get benefit of that link.
    3. Google suggest all widget to use 'NoFollow' attribute. It just about time they will suggest every forum to use 'NoFollow' for the signature.
    4. Using forum to get backlink is not good idea. You should spend your precious times by posting valuable articles in your sites rather than spend couple of hours in forum trying to get signature.
      Use forum only to make new friends, chat or gain more skills and knowledge.

    It is difficult to answer.

    According to my experience, the more posts you make in a forum the more benefit you would get... If you have joined few top forums in your niche and you are posting regularly you would get the result, you would get positive result day by day.

    It doesn't matter because sig links can bring direct traffic, but not boost your position in the SERPs. Google changes their algorithm often for these reasons. They don't want their search results manipulated!

    Although it may help with SEO for some search engines and on some forums, for the most part they are nofollow and do not provide much benefit. However, if and when people click on your link in your sig you benefit in one, possibly two, ways.

    One, you're getting some traffic from an interested party, which is great.
    Two, if you have Google Analytics on your site then I suspect that someone following the keyword-attributed link from the sig to your site, then it may help with SEO. It's hard to say, but I personally believe it. Afterall, its about as organic as you can get for traffic. Google likes organic.
