I want ti build up the PR of my blog and I am thinking of attaching it in my sig beacuse PR of DP is quite high and if get a link from here then it wil be good. Isn't it? I post an average of 3 posts per day so going by that in a month I can get 100 links to my blog from here. Is this prediction of mine correct? How much will it affect my PR? Will it really increase or not? PR of my blog is zero right now. Regards, Rakesh Kumar
It lot depends on which post you reply to. if the post has high PR, then it would pass PR to you since you replied to that post and your sig links appears there. Besides that, your post count can get your huge chunk of backlinks. It might not have a huge impact but its not bad at all.
having your site on your sig in DP is not enough to increase your Blog PR. You need to link it to several sites with high PR also.
These links will certainly make no harm to your site. But they are coming from the same IP, so, you shouldn't expect them have huge effect on your site PR.
YES links from signature helps you to get PR, but you need to do much more if you want to get good PR.
Yes signature links is also count as one one way link. Use your signature links on good traffic forums. You will surely get benefits from it.
Most of the threads you will reply too are PR0 or PR NA which will not help all that much in the way of PR...but a sig link can help with traffic and SERP (which again can increase traffic). Increased traffic can then cause return readers, and with luck additional links if what you are posting is worthy of talking about. Those additional links can effect your PR. So while a signature does not do a lot to effect PR directory, indirectly it can have a huge benefit. Q
every link counts having thousands of links on dp will not give you a huge pr but it will bring you some traffic and increase your alexa position
I believe if you have your site on a sig with atleast 1000 posts, it will help your serp (Anchor text from 0 pr still helps ) Pagerank is just a count of backlinks, SERP is based on the number of backlinks, keywords, and anchor text So if you post on DP, you are helping your site
Yaaaa You certainly can use signature links to build your PR and gain good ranking on SE, It works way better than directory submissions
A link in your signature also from PR0 page will help. To some pages of my sites I'm on the first page of Google for long tail keywords without having these keywords in the text of the page, only in the text links of PR0 backlinks. Depending of the competition of the keyword you'll need 100 and more PR0 back links.
Look at how many links are, on average, on a page. Suppose you had one link each on about that many pages. Suppose all the pages had the same PR. Then you'd get around that much PR too. Whether that does much for your search engine results is a whole other matter. Personally, I didn't start blogging until I had access to a few highly trusted sites and pages with good PR, so my blogs started life entitled to a PR around 5. So I'm not speaking from direct experience here. But that's at least the theory.
It's difficult for me to answer that because I've never experimented and isolated forum links as the variable .. in other words, I never launched a site and limited link development to only forum links ........ In addition, I've seen some forums that no follow signature links (or do so until you have a certain quantity of posts) at any rate, I don't think they carry much pr pop at all even if they are followed ... they are not a part of my strategy ...... indirectly, they can bring you some traffic, and, it is possible that some of that traffic might like what you've got going on and thus link to you ............ but, there are such other better ways to generate high-quality links that I personally don't give forum links much thought . kf
I wonder what a sitewide link on this site would do? There is like 628,389 threads on the forum each with there own pages, (some threads have lots of pages!) If you left the link there long enough you would get alot backlinks as the SE spider crawls the site! LOL You probably could charge an arm n' leg for a sitewide link on a big forum like this.
