no offense , but dont make your business strategy based on DP sig links . just feel happy when u get a link back from a important topic from DP . If you participate in enough good threads , you might even write something great , which might actually give you visitors to your site .
I use the SEO Book Firefox plugin and according to the plugin the links do follow on this forum. So they should be good for backlinks according to Google
All of them are not counted but some are. I have about 220 showing up as backlinks and about 10 have a PR3 or PR4 so they have some value for PR and also some value for click through. They also are great to get a site indexed quicker.
Yeah real great to get indexed if you want to wait 3 months. You have got problems if you think DP signature links are a good SEO tactic.
It does not follow, but yes it you write good content worth ready and helpful, you will surely get genuine visitors to your site. Thanks, Go4
signature links on this forumhas not nofollow. you can check the sourse code. if you see rel="nofollow" on a link, google will ignore it
